Xiao ling (Most viral)

Filmed in the Murdoch Mysteries escape room at Casa Loma, I created this viral video referencing the Xiao Ling meme, based on a movie about a man who gets trapped in a room. The video exploded in the summer of 2023, adding 4.7k followers to @SecretCityAdventures.

Fun fact: The first clip was filmed and acted in reverse to appear as if the wall was closing behind me

aura

Where Dark Things Dwell is one of Secret City Adventures’ most popular escape rooms (and for good reason!) It’s a spooky outdoor activity that takes place at the iconic Black Creek Pioneer Village. I created this video incorporating a viral trend of rating people’s auras (someone’s vibe and charisma) and it exploded on Instagram reels. The post reached over 1.7M views and led to an increase of 1.7k followers, lifting Secret City Adventures’ page to over 8k followers.

pioneer village nostalgia

There must be some magic in the village that makes content go viral. I created this video to engage Ontarians by inciting the feeling of nostalgia. Thousands of people engaged with the video and were reminded of their childhood field trip to Black Creek Pioneer Village. The video hit the target demographic on the nose, raising awareness about the game to 600,000 people. This viral video, combined with a strategically executed marketing mix, drove a sold-out season.
