Illusions
Ride & Show effects
Scenic Design
Wow moments come in all shapes and sizes. When story, environment, and technique inform and support each other it makes a tangible impact. Our experience with scenic design, ride & show effects, and stage illusions allows us to build tightly integrated moments rather than disparate components.
Vision
Mixmap is an immersive experience company. We design worlds, build stories, and fit big ideas into small spaces.
Our specialty is designing theme parks, escape rooms, museums, and live performances.
Technical challenges, design intent, and business needs will always be at odds. Instead of falling back on expected compromises, mixmap creates unexpected harmonies that lead to rich and lasting experiences.
MixMap is small, and that’s what makes it mighty. Small studios are where Innovation and creativity come from. That’s why we’re creating the industry roadmap, not following it.
Game Design
Puzzle Design
Play-Testing
Engaging guests active opportunities for interaction is a key tool in our tool belt. We can help you design assessable games, perspective shifting puzzles, and evocative activities. We’ll also help prototype and play test ideas to check assumptions and lower risk.
Technical Integration
System review
Technical Documentation
Technology has the amazing power to solve creative and business challenges, but it can also go off the rails and become technology for its own sake. The key is to listen to the underlying creative and business intent rather than jumping to flashy solutions. Having advised and supported hundreds of projects with their tech stack, we know we can help you find the tech that actually fits your needs.

Creative Concepting
Experiential Prototyping
Industry research reports
Our design process is open and collaborative. We listen to our clients and partners, we prototype with our hands, and we share ideas with trust and confidence. If you need an idea tested in real life, or you need to come up with the next big idea, we’re here to help.
Traditional Concept Art
Digital Renderings
3D modeling
In today’s landscape, images are cheap, but thoughtful imagery is more valuable than ever. A beautiful but surface level image won’t help you express your ideas or impress guests. By combining traditional mediums, 3D modeling and photo real rendering, MixMap can help you create concept and production art that fits your project and inspires interest.
