Slated to open in 2022 in Sugar Land Town Square at the space formerly occupied by Z Gallerie, the Department of Wonder is an immersive, experimental mixed-reality experience that blends fantasy elements of cinema, theater, and cutting-edge technology. Here, at the 10,000-square-foot venue, visitors are charged with solving puzzles and unraveling stories in a physical as well as digital space.
“Blurring the boundaries between reality and the imaginary, The Department of Wonder immerses you in a fantastic world unlike any other,” the company writes on its website.
“Wielding a light-gathering lantern, guests adventure through a series of expansive rooms meeting fantastic characters and engaging with unique interactions.”
The Department of Wonder is a project designed by a renowned team of producers, story-tellers, designers, and technologists, including Emmy Award-winning director, Limbert Fabian, as well as Academy Award-winning director, Brandon Oldenburg.
As described by Fabian: “Department of Wonder is the culmination of all the things we love to create when building imaginative worlds at large scale. And it’s a cinematic experience that casts the audience as the leading stars.”

Oldenburg described the experience as such: “It’s like stepping inside a film as the main character and being bestowed an epic quest. We think it’s the next evolution of location-based entertainment.”
The Department of Wonder has yet to announce an official opening date in Sugar Land Town Square, but plans for some time in 2022.
