GPS is a virtual, nontraditional production that fuses elements of plays, choose-your-own adventures, and escape rooms. Audience members could move freely between Zoom breakout rooms to watch one of three different spaces. At regular points, audiences had the opportunity to engage directly with the narrative and — if they wished — attempt to solve cryptic obstacles encountered by the characters.

The Story: The Generative Partnership Simulator is an experimental new machine that promises to bring couples closer together by allowing them to experience each other’s subconscious. Quinn, a member of the team that developed the G.P.S., has secured a spot on a test trial for their cousin Lex and close friend Riley, who have been in a serious relationship together for almost two years. It’s just complex technology still in testing, combined with highly subjective subconscious manifestations. What could possibly go wrong?
