| - Bolton Storyworld: Codename Winterhill is a live-action interactive transmedia thriller which in its final form went live in April 2016. The experience takes place on a participant’s smartphone and involves receiving text and voice messages, exploring websites, participating in puzzles, and watching filmed videos. Lasting five days, the experience operates to a Participant Activated Release Schedule (PARS): as soon as participants activate the experience by texting a code to a promoted mobile number, they initiate the release of media to their smartphones according to a pre-set schedule. The thriller is set in Bolton and follows a missing-person investigation by three students: Spoon, Lizzie, and Derek. As the narration progresses the experience opens up to explore the theme of the truth versus fiction through conspiracy theories, alien abductions, and secret societies – ultimately leaving the participant in a disturbing open ended situation where ‘they could be next’. It was produced by Bellyfeel, with film, multimedia, and transmedia artist Krishna Stott – whose previous project was the award-winning interactive film Crimeface (2008) – acting as creative director and showrunner. Bolton Storyworld: Codename Winterhill went on to be selected for The Seattle Transmedia and Independent Film Festival in 2016. Also that year the production went on to win the prestigious Premier Award at Learning on Screen Awards. The critical consensus from the judging panel being that ‘this outstanding production’ was an ‘'innovative and immersive piece of digital storytelling' and ‘unlike anything the jury have seen before’. In 2019, a film version of the 2016 experience was released. (en)
