What if you could walk into a story? Welcome to a profound new immersive experience that moves you—literally. Eighty Thousand Steps is a first-of-its-kind embodied story that asks you to walk with a refugee. You power this story, one step at a time.

Follow creator Crystal Chan as you solve a mystery. When she unravels a fantastical fable, you learn the shocking truth behind her grandmother’s escape from China. Poignant and inspirational, clues unfurl through original music, animations and cinematic 3D audio drama that spans two continents, three languages and ninety years. Stop walking, and the story stops too. Why do you have to walk? Because one step at a time, you uncover the power of moving forward. As you walk to the grocery store, or through a park, you examine your steps and stories next to a refugee’s. A trip around the block is transformed into a revolutionary interactive experience. Do you dare “walk in someone else’s shoes”?
