A live human chess experience, led from concept to activation

From HQ

History Channel and MSL needed a launch for the drama series KNIGHTFALL.

What I changed

Instead of promoting it on screen, I took the medieval world to a live event: a human chess match at Campus Party.

From concept to live activation, start to finish

Responsible for the full creative journey, from initial idea through costume design, set production, and event execution.

Transforming the narrative of KNIGHTFALL

Translating the series' core themes into an immersive spectacle, making the medieval world of knights viscerally real for a modern audience.

An immersive spectacle at the intersection of TV and live experience

By activating in a live environment with real participants, the campaign created authentic social content and genuine audience investment.

Real participants, real content.
