About The Smartphone Orchestra
What happens when you throw a bunch of people together and give them something completely unexpected to do? At Smartphone Orchestra, we create playful, surprising and occasionally profound group experiences that help you connect – not with your screen, but with the people around you.
Your smartphone is turned into a guide, a game controller, and even a conversation starter. Before you know it, you're laughing with strangers and bonding over the weirdest things. Our experiences are fun, surprising, and just the right amount of kooky. You’ll laugh, connect, reflect, and might just leave the room feeling like you’ve become part of something bigger.
