About

Tim makes playful experiences.

Tim Monley loves creating worlds and telling stories. His creative practice in the last two decades has focused on inviting people into those worlds, giving audiences strong shared experiences and allowing them to create meaningful connections through play. He has created real world games with thousands of players, technology driven interactive installations, and gamified theatre. Having roots in community theatre and ritual, his work continues to discover ways of building connections between people in creative ways.

Tim has worked with festivals as a freelance creative producer who thrives on the challenges of bringing together diverse stakeholders to create innovative projects. Working with artists, organisations, businesses, and communities he is able to find surprising solutions, through empathy, creativity, and a mix of artistic and business processes.

Tim creates interactive theatre under the banner of Folly Games. This work invites audiences to be active participants in the story world. Their current work in development is called The Fae Embassy.

In 2021 Tim formed a partnership of four people to make an escape room in an old paint factory laboratory. They made two escape room experiences, both off which have won 2023 Morty awards making Project Immersive one of the top 200 escape room companies worldwide. The focus for these experience is on immersion and storytelling.

Recently Tim completed a micro-masters in innovation and entrepreneurship at the University of Queensland business school with a grade of 96%. A micro-masters is equivalent to 6 months of masters level course work.

Tim is always open to discussing creative projects. Feel free to get in touch.
