The challenge.

Use Halloween to introduce a series the public hadn't seen yet.

The personality of Wednesday had to be recognisable inside a restaurant —its dark aesthetic, its mystery and its particular sense of humour— and in a way that invited visitors to step into that world, not just look at it.

What we did.

01

Concept and production.

We conceived and produced the intervention of the McDonald's restaurants, transforming part of their spaces into settings inspired by Wednesday.

Interior of the restaurant transformed into a graveyard: tombstones, candelabra, candles and the Wednesday signage lit in purple.
02

Props.

Lighting and props —tombstones, ravens, skulls and candelabra— built an eerie atmosphere full of details to discover.

Prop detail: tombstones, a cross, candelabra with black candles and a raven, under purple light.
03

Fan engagement.

To give the public a role in the experience, we added spaces dedicated to the pendulum and palm reading. The visit to the restaurant became an invitation to explore the series' mystery during Halloween.

The 'Palm reading' booth: curtains, a mystical tapestry and a table with a candle, lit in blue and purple.
