IMMERSION NATION RATING
What is it like to be in a cult?
You don’t really want to know. You can find out, but do you really want to? Reports are that you’ll be greeted with open arms. They welcome you home. You are in the arms of a family you never knew you were missing. Family watches out for their own. Always. Wherever you are, they’re there with you… Why don’t you feel safe?
The Tension experience is called “Tailor made terror” by the L.A. times.
What is Tension Brand?
The Tension creates immersive psycho-drama stories that push the edges of immersive entertainment. Located in LA, and evolving every year, the experiences are co-created by the director of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th SAW movies.
The Tension Experience Brand explores the limits of what immersion can be.
What it’s really like
A peek inside Tension Brand’s original ascension.
When you walk in you’ll become part of a world that refuses to be understood. A fusion of alternate reality game (ARG), playable theater, and existential psycho-drama.
The initial 400+ page script brought players into…
…the O.O.A. institute. A cult headquarters in a 45,000 foot headquarters. It is not an extreme, high touch type, horror experience. It is designed to be psychologically trying rather than physically grueling.
The Tension Experience is working through several versions. The original has expanded to include: Ascension, Lust, Adrenaline, and Nefarious. All tackling different dimensions of the human psyche and defying explanation.
Before its launch, outside observers could not tell whether they were an ARG, or an actual cult. On certain occasions, players who were involved in the pre launch pop-up experiences became convinced that game was a front being used by cultists to induct members. Truly, even with a firm grasp on reality, the experience feels real.

Reports from the front lines of Immersion Nation are saying that something is coming… After the completion of Tension’s Theatre Macabre in 2018, all was quiet until March, 20th; an image of a house fly was posted on the associated social. The community of fans that has come to adore Tension’s creations are getting ready for the next event.
—
The tension experience comes with a message. They encourage the participants to push their own boundaries, to push out of their comfort zone, and to remember the importance of being present. Being truly present is said to be the only way to unlock the entire experience.
Coming soon: On 3/20/19, the instagram linked to by the tension brand page posted a picture of a fly. Something new is coming…
Past shows: Tension Brand created Ascension, Lust, then Theater Macabre.
