SPOTIFY Forbid-inn

New York, August 2024

To introduce Spotify’s new audiobook offerings for Premium listeners, we created “The Forbid-Inn” — a fantastical, immersive activation that transported fans into the worlds of their favorite Romantasy stories.

Guests checked into our enchanted inn, where they could choose their own adventure by exploring themed quest stalls, uncovering hidden easter eggs, or joining exclusive Q&A sessions with leading Romantasy authors.

Every element—from the lush, overgrown greenery to the ethereal lighting—was meticulously designed to blur the line between fantasy and reality. Built for exploration and social capture, The Forbid-Inn turned Spotify’s audiobook launch into a living, shareable narrative—inviting guests to not just listen to stories, but step inside them.
