can see references to that like throughout the space. We have him in a video and he’s messing around with a found audio machine, and you can hear beach noises.”

Rodgers says each family member is artistic and that bridges into a magical obsession.

He says Nicolae’s obsession is sound.

“One of the things that we wanted to do for his character is to make him like a big fan of 1980s arcade games,” Rodgers explains. “I think this came from when some of us would hang out at Back Road Pizza, where they had that cocktail cabinet of the Galaga game. We were like, ‘Okay, character affectatio­ns.’ Maybe this guy is really good at Galaga for anomalous, chaotic sound-based reasons. We have this newspaper article telling the story of his championsh­ip. We also have his instrument­s on the wall to show how he loves music and sound.”

Wilson and Rodgers both want to round out the narrative while they continue to push it forward with the other Meow Wolf locations.

Wilson says there is a Meow Wolf app that keeps track of the expanding multiverse.

When a visitor logs into the app and visits any of the Meow Wolf locations, it will vibrate around certain objects so that the visitor will be able to learn more about the story.

The app also has all the storylines available to read.

“We understand it takes time to go through ‘House of Eternal Return’ and there’s a lot of informatio­n,” Wilson says. “What’s great about the app is that it will have the entire story and informatio­n available for when you get home.”

The app also has the videos that are played inside of “House of Eternal Return,” as well as games, informatio­n about the artists, merchandis­e and purchase tickets.
