About Tales By Candlelight
A GAMIFIED IMMERSIVE PERFORMANCE
Based on tabletop RPG ( lO Candles, D&D, etc. ) participants collaborate with a storyteller to tell a story through their sense of smell.
In this piece, a ticket holder has a scent-based story / DM delivered to them.
The SESSION ZERØ KIT has:
• keepsake box / dice tray
• 13 scented tealight candles
• 20 story cards
• complimentary pour-over coffee
This can be applied to world-building or character generation for any RPG, story or creative endeavor.
For examples of tales, see our instagram account:

As a lifelong actor & gamer, what I treasure about our stories is that, similar to a video game, the audience isn’t passive: you get to engage with the adventure as it unfolds. That makes the role of a storyteller so much more captivating.
