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, 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.

In 2021 Tim formed a partnership of four others to make an escape room in an old paint factory laboratory. They made two escape room experiences, both off which have won 2023, 2024, and 2025 Morty awards. Both The Portal and Nuclear Enrichment have been nominated for TERPECA awards and in 2025 Nuclear Enrichment made the top 200. Project Immersive is now the most awarded escape room business in Queensland. The focus for these experience is on immersion and storytelling.

In recent years Tim has returned to his first love, film making. Working on many major productions over recent years in the art department and more recently writing, directing, and producing short films.

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