Our Brands
Partners in business and life, Adrienne Fritze and Mark van der Pol founded RemarkableArts as a vehicle for sharing their passions and talents with the world. Adrienne is a business advisor, artist, writer, and producer. Mark is an Internet of Things software engineer, inventor, photographer and writer. Together, and in the company of other multi-talented creators, Mark and Adrienne offer ways for you to play, work, thrive and be alive in ways that are meaningful to you.
The very unusual & unprecedented Summer of 2020, we also participated in the Corvallis RAINmaker Sales and Marketing Entrepreneurial Accelerator intensive training, which included a 60-second elevator pitch. Out of 70 participating companies pitching, Mark's pitch won! The pitch is below.
Conundrum House Experiences™
Conundrum House Experiences (CHX) transforms entertainment and engagement through immersive play. Experiences are designed for groups of varying sizes and different purposes – from small-group immersive mystery games among friends, family or social groups, to larger-scale immersive game-based events for team building, customer or employee appreciation, to immersive edutainment used for FUNdraising.
We have engaged hundreds of players annually through custom-designed experiences and raised over $50,000 for nonprofits, receiving glowing feedback from participants.
There is a high demand for unique, interactive entertainment for companies and organizations. To address this need, we developed a hybrid model that combines in-person play spaces with large-scale, customizable events tailored to clients.
Spectres Past™
Come for the Clues. Stay for the Story.
Spectres Past is a storytelling and puzzle-based experience that transforms real local history into unforgettable public play. Through immersive mystery clue hunts, we partner with communities to bring hidden histories to life — grounded in fact, powered by narrative, and designed for lasting impact.
Unlike typical tours or exhibits, Spectres Past is a co-created framework that invites residents and visitors alike to explore real places and real people through the lens of gameplay — walking their streets, solving their secrets, and hearing the voices history nearly forgot.
We build:
-
Custom mystery games rooted in our Clients' local history
-
Playable episodes delivered online and in-person (feet on the ground)
-
Tools & templates helping Clients share their area's historic stories – especially those lesser known — in the voices of the people from the past
Empty & Meaningless: the Box Project™
A transformative art workshop where you explore healing, boundaries, and possibility through creative expression.
In this experience, you’ll decorate a small, empty paper box—each one representing a specific relationship in your life. The inside remains empty, symbolizing infinite potential. The decorated sides become a kind of membrane: a healthy, intentional boundary.
This “skin” allows in only what supports your growth, healing, and evolution—and shapes how new possibilities are released, with care and purpose.
Through guided reflection and artmaking, you’ll explore the stories and beliefs that have shaped your relationships, releasing what no longer serves you and making space for transformation, connection, and renewal.
Dodecatimer™
Where Artistry Meets Precision
The Dodecatimer is not just a timer—it’s a statement piece. Handcrafted from the finest wood, each face of this dodecahedron is meticulously engraved with pre-programmed time intervals, blending the timeless allure of artisanal craftsmanship with cutting-edge functionality.
Designed for discerning individuals who value both form and function, the Dodecatimer transforms timekeeping into an elegant ritual. Place it on any solid surface, and the uppermost face activates seamlessly, counting down with precision. A clear, resonant chime announces the start, with customizable alerts signaling when time is up—or when the countdown approaches its conclusion.
Through its dedicated app, you can personalize the chime tones to reflect your unique style, setting the perfect atmosphere for any moment. Whether gracing a professional workspace, a luxury kitchen, or a meditative retreat, the Dodecatimer elevates the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Experience the harmony of art, technology, and intention. The Dodecatimer: because every moment deserves a touch of elegance.

I know, it doesn't explain all of what we could do for you and your enterprise, but it does give you a bit of the flavour of it.
