UV & UV3D Reactive Artwork

If you want to stand out from the crowd, a UV (Ultra Violet) maze is the ultimate showstopper.  Perfect for Halloween, escape rooms and adventure golf, the glowing artwork comes alive under UV light and with the addition of 3D glasses, it feels like the artwork is leaping off the walls.

All designs are hand painted, bespoke & fully customisable for your audience & theme.

 

Perfect for:
  • Adult Screamparks
  • Children’s Spooky Fun Halloween Events
  • Adventure Golf
  • Nightclubs
  • Escape Rooms
  • Special Events

Your Space – What do you need?

You will need either an inside or undercover space, or marquee to install your maze.  The darker the environment the better as the paint glows under the UV light.  If your visitors will be walking around, we recommend a ‘maze’ design with some twists and turns over a ‘corridor’ design.  This is because the artwork is best viewed front on, especially if viewing in 3D (with glasses).  This also makes it more fun for the visitor heightening the disorientated feeling, plus can help get the most out of your space.

UV or UV 3D?

UV and UV 3D are essentially the same. They use the same design, the same paint, the only difference being location that each colour is painted within the design.

Viewing the artwork with special 3D glasses (different to those used in the cinema) alters the speed in which the UV is light is reflected back into your eyes, making some colours appear closer and some further away.

Take a look at this clown, this has been painted for dual use.  A great design to enjoy without glasses however if viewed through 3D glasses the perspective changes.

Everything in pink now appears much closer to you, orange slightly behind and yellow further back.

Everything in green is sitting in the centre, everything in blue now appears to sink back into the picture and everything black disappears.  With this in mind, the hand now appears to be reaching forwards, with the arm descending backwards, adding to the illusion that the clown is reaching for you.  His face is mainly green with yellow elements in front, his eyelids and nose painted in pink so popping right out.

If you like the idea of 3D but would like the option to add glasses in the future, please let us know before your artwork is painted so it can be painted with the colours in the right places.  There is no additional cost to having it painted for viewing in both UV and 3D but please note if a maze is not originally painted with 3D in mind, this cannot be changed at a later date.

These options don’t quite match my vision

We’ve put together a general pricing guide, but with such a wide variety of shapes, sizes and creative ideas, naturally not everything fits into one tidy category. If you’re dreaming up something wider, unique or outside of the box, we’d love to hear about it. Get in touch for a personalised quote.

Prices exclude delivery

Production & Delivery

Once you have decided on the sizes of your panels, number of designs you would like and your theme, let us know your ideas and we will put some design sketches together for you to sign off before the artwork is painted.

Your artwork will be painted in our workshop and couriered to you or can be collected free of charge from Billingshurst in West Sussex.  If your maze is already in place, onsite painting can be discussed.

Getting the most out of your event!

Maze Example Layout

Design your walkthrough so you are always walking towards the UV design for optimal viewing, with your lighting on the opposite wall as much as possible casting the most amount of light onto the paint to allow it to glow.  Without the UV light the paint will not glow.

Extras

A walkthrough maze as a standalone is a great edition to your event.  If you want to go the extra mile, you could consider adding dead ends, secret doors for characters to emerge from and allow them to get around the maze easily to add ‘scares’, and the assumption there are more actors within the maze than there are.

You could add:

  • Hanging fabric to walk through,
  • UV reactive cobwebs,
  • UV reactive spiders,
  • Wobbly or fake bridges,
  • Mattresses on the floor,
  • Textured walls,
  • Props,
  • Mannequins,
  • Animatronics,
  • Vehicles,
  • Obstacles,
  • Tunnels
  • Tripped sound effects to suit your audience,

The more you do, the better the experience for your visitor, the more they will talk about it, they will remember you, recommend you, and come back to exeperience it again, or see what new thing you add next!

Lighting and Sound

We can recommend a UV lighting supplier for purchasing, or an event tech company to hire and install the equipment for you.

To ensure you get the best out of your event and to really bring your whole maze to life, we highly recommend you also add a soundtrack to the space.  This can easily be done inhouse, or our recommended tech company can also supply this for hire.  There are many websites where you can find free or purchasable royalty free themed background music to suit your target age or theme.

Costume

Ensure your in-maze characters or actors can be ‘seen’.  We can also recommend a specialist UV costume maker.
