“Our goal has always been to transform how people experience culture — not by observing it from a distance, but by stepping inside it,” said Fabien Barati, CEO and co-founder of Excurio. “The expansion of our Immersive Expeditions across North America and beyond reflects a growing appetite for immersive experiences, and we’re proud to bring these stories to new audiences while continuing to push the boundaries of what cultural entertainment can be in the digital age.”

As Excurio builds on its international success and prepares for additional launches across North America and beyond, the company remains committed to creating transformative, accessible experiences that invite audiences of all ages to step inside the world’s most compelling stories, while making immersive exploration as social, intuitive, and routine as going to the movies.
