Grumpy Studios designs immersive elsewheres – large-scale experiential worlds you can escape into.
Spine-tingling, heart-stirring, time-stopping experiences which envelop senses, ignite imaginations and inspire empathy. Designed for global audiences, these expansive stories tour galleries, museums, corporate and public spaces.
We’re currently seeking partnerships on original, ambitious immersive elsewheres – universal narratives, fiction and non-fiction. Get in touch.
Core Offerings
Originals of Scale
We conceive and create large-scale, high-impact originals. These experiences are fully owned, deeply story-led, and built for audiences to get lost in. Available for touring, licensing, or bespoke commissioning.
Selective IP Co-Creation
We co-invest in new immersive IP; co-authored, not commissioned. In rare and remarkable cases, we partner with the brave to co-develop new narrative-led formats. From idea to IP structure, we’re in it together, building the kind of experiences no one can make alone.
Experience Strategy & Story Architecture
Narrative-led consultancy for ambitious spaces. This is for institutions and innovators seeking more than just a build. We provide creative, conceptual and commercial strategy, embedding story as the spine of your spatial experience.
Visioning & Go-to-Market Labs
Bold possibilities, built to withstand reality. Sprint-based strategy and prototyping labs that help teams shape, frame, and future-proof their immersive concepts before the money really needs to hit.
Immersive Advisory for Leaders
Narrative strategy for moments that matter. We work with founders, CMOs, and CEOs to shape high-stakes stories; the kind that land vision, mobilise teams, attract capital, and drive transformation.
This is deep storycraft, delivered with precision and partnership.
