Vodafone

Four homes, swapped blind - nothing rehearsed, everything engineered.

The Format

Swap Stories for Vodafone Internet@Home: four creators from four different worlds swap apartments - blind. The community guesses who lives where. Five episodes on Vodafone’s channel, one reveal.

The Code

The DNA: the tension of Room Raiders, the creator flex of Cribs, a pinch of escape room - engineered into a guessing game that makes “home is a feeling” playable.

The Worlds

Four real homes, four atmospheres and every detail a clue: objects, light, sound, setups.

The Move

A mobile unit, built to shoot spaces it had never seen - following creators whose paths nobody knew. The surprise stayed real because production never rehearsed it.

The Care

Creators’ real homes are vulnerable places. Small footprint, remote monitoring, clear rules - intimacy protected, and still no moment missed.

The Beats

YouTube runs on system: story beats locked before every shoot - hook, rules, mini peaks, evidence, cliffhanger. Then we let things happen, and watched.

The Echo

One team on both sides of the camera - and a community that played along: guessing, commenting, calling episodes before they aired.

Heading

The Challenge

A format built on genuine surprise: four creators swap homes - blind. Nobody may know who lives where. Not the guests, not the audience - and the production can’t rehearse it either. Classic production wants the opposite: recce every location, storyboard every move, walk every path in advance. Rehearsing this format would have killed it. And the locations weren’t sets - they were the creators’ real homes: intimate, vulnerable, full of exactly the personal details the format lives on. Maximum content, minimum intrusion, zero spoilers. That’s not a shooting problem. It’s an architecture problem.

The Orchestration

We planned the beats, not the paths. Every episode ran on one engineered story system - hook, rules, challenge, mini peaks, evidence, cliffhanger - locked before every shoot. Inside that structure: nothing scripted. Things were allowed to happen, and the system was built to catch them.

A mobile unit, set up to shoot spaces it had never seen, following creators whose routes nobody knew - flexible enough to react, precise enough to never miss a beat.

And a care architecture for vulnerable spaces: small footprint, remote monitoring, clear agreements with the creators. Intimacy and safety first - because that’s what made real openness on camera possible in the first place.

From fine concept, casting and creator management to shoot and post: one system, one integrated team - Vodafone, Odaline and fount.space.

The Output

YouTube-first, built as an asset system: five 7-minute episodes at the core, 15 native 9:16 shorts around them - teasers, challenge cutdowns, mini challenges, guess-the-person - driving awareness back to the longform. Four real homes, four creators - Stefanie Giesinger, Nic Kaufmann, Ines Anioli, Tim Schaecker - and a community that played the guessing game in the comments, episode after episode, all the way to the reveal.
