Seattle’s Best Living Statues, Mimes And Creatures!

 

The Great Surprisal specializes in creating one-of-a-kind living statues and creatures that roam the streets of Seattle, or the ballroom at your special event! Each work of living art is based on the client’s event theme or brand, so event planners — get ready for our mesmerizing statue magic — and leave your guests wondering: is that a real person or is it a statue?! In addition to statues we have Creatures too!

Meet Our QR code creatures

Our digitally interactive, customizable QR code creatures cannot be tamed! Born from an overactive imagination and a love/hate relationship with technology, their QR code “skin” is customizable for any event (all codes can be linked anywhere online).

Our creatures love to greet guests, lead scavenger hunts, promote your product, and encourage guests to create that UGC (user-generated content). They don’t speak but use animal-like body movements and gestures to entertain.
