Hey, what if you give each loop a sort of “anchor” – a single event that stays constant no matter how the rest wiggles. Put a visual cue in the set, like a clock that never stops or a specific song that always plays. Then, let the people keep a log or a memory bracelet that records what happened in that loop; it acts like a breadcrumb trail. Keep the main narrative linear on the big screen, but layer the looping bits in side‑scenes or flashbacks that reference the anchor. That way the audience can see the loop, but still feel the forward push of the story. If you add a bit of a paradox puzzle, like a message that only makes sense after you’ve seen the loop, they’ll stay engaged and won’t get lost. Just remember to keep the anchor simple and always visible – that’s the trick.

Sounds solid—just remember the cue has to feel like part of the world, not an extra prop. A simple ticking second hand or a recurring melody that starts right when the scene opens does that. For the log, a one‑line note on a sticky card or a quick tap on a phone app will do; keep the interface so obvious it almost feels natural. And when you drop that quick paradox, make it a small puzzle that resolves in the next loop, so people get that “aha” without a full detour. Keep the main flow tight, the loops subtle, and you’ll have the audience dancing between time slots without missing a beat.
