The Apple Avenue Detective Agency

Inspired by real childhood events, this adventure from Los Angeles-based Mister & Mischief inducts audiences into a pint-sized investigator club to uncover local mysteries and find closure for a good friend in very real trouble.

Mischievous and deeply personal, this playable coming-of-age tale takes audiences from a backyard clubhouse through the nooks and crannies of the neighborhood, all the way to the treacherous border of growing up. When you’re a kid, the world is full of mysteries, and no one solves them alone.

WOW Festival proudly presents this “First Look” project that gives you the opportunity to be part of the very first audiences. Read more here.
