THUNDERDICES IDENTITy
More than anything else, Thunderdices, is the story of two ladies and two friends: Althéa and Marie, who are both passionate about stories and history!
Dissolving the boundaries between tour and experience, we invite you to join us on immersive adventures off the beaten track thanks to the magic of gamification and storytelling tools.
Our guides are not just experts; they are lively actors who breathe excitement into the narratives, creating exclusive interactive theatrical experiences for our groups. Picture us exploring medieval castles, uncovering secrets in underground prisons, or sharing laughter in local pubs, all against the backdrop of Scotland's fascinating history and legends.
In our pursuit of immersion, we pull out all the stops – sets, costumes, role-playing, puzzles, experiments, music, and more. Every detail is crafted with care, whisking you away into a world where history isn't just a tale but a living, breathing experience.
We were delighted to see our approach validated by the THA award which was presented to us by our peers and colleagues, and of course by you!
