About us

Experiences you do not watch - you become part of the plot.

What drives us? Your story.

It all began with a question: what if you could be not just there, but right in the middle of it? Secret Mission grew out of the idea of creating experiences you do not watch - you become part of the plot.

That became missions built from live theatre, real locations and interactive storytelling - played with trained actors, fully produced and bookable like a cinema ticket. Not an idea on request.

There is a reason these stories sit so close to reality. Part of what happens in a mission has already happened to someone on the team, on duty: in state service, in law enforcement, in the military, on stage.

We do not believe in ordinary events. We believe an experience should be staged so precisely and be so gripping that you forget it is not real.

What is not up for negotiation.

  • No off-the-shelf puzzles

    Every puzzle is written for its story. It never stands on its own: it is the reason the plot moves on.

  • No passive watching

    No stage, no curtain, no seat. You are not entertained, you investigate. And if you decide differently than expected, the story carries on regardless.

  • People, not sets

    Trained actors, rehearsed on a script of more than a hundred pages. Ask a question that is not in it and you still get an answer. In character.

  • Places that really exist

    Corridors, cellars and back rooms in the middle of Vienna you have walked past a hundred times. We rent them exclusively - while you are inside, they are yours alone.

The people behind Secret Mission.

We are not an agency that picked a theme. Three of us worked in state service, one brings the stage. What can be told ends up in the missions.

    Alexander Datzer

    Alex is what you would probably call a spy in a film. His career is where those details come from that even we are not always sure are invented. As managing director, he now holds all the threads together - from the first draft of a script to the mission you play.

Immersion does not happen by accident.

Behind every mission are months of development: more than a hundred pages of script, professional actors just for your team, props built for their story and interfaces programmed for it.

It is played at real locations we rent exclusively. And if your group does something that is not in the script, our actors stay in their roles anyway.
