Midwayville Popup Interactive Game World Materializes in San Francisco for Summer 2016
Midwayville, a mixed reality popup theme park, will materialize in San Francisco’s Soma neighborhood every Friday night 7:00pm to 11:30pm starting June 17 through August 26. The SoMa StrEat Food Park will be transformed into a multiland pixelated theme park full of exciting attractions including repainted buildings, a customized floor game board mural for real-time interactive play, food trucks, a stage show and vivid lighting systems.
Baron Scott Levkoff, Director and Founder of the Mystic Midway, says “The crown jewel of the event is the Midwayville Game Shoppe where guests participate in an ongoing live storytelling experience to collectively unlock park attractions and achieve collective goals against Boss Monsters.” Dozens of performers will improvise with guests to guide the community through each night’s experience, making a unique event for each and every week’s event. The Midwayville event is partnering with local philanthropic organizations charity challenges to the live game where guests tell stories to earn points and solve challenges faced by the community.
Ivy Lumpkin, event director for Soma StrEat Food Park said, “We are so excited to host The Mystic Midway at the Soma StrEat Food Park this Summer, and expect Midwayville to be packed with guests having a great time eating, drinking and playing in this uniquely San Francisco event.” A rotating selection of six food trucks will be available within the park, as will multiple bars and VIP table reservations for large and small groups.
Midwayville is currently seeking marketing partner sponsors and corporate event buyouts for the series and individual events. Inquire with Mr. Levkoff for opportunities at scott@mysticmidway.com.
