General questions
The events are an immersive historical mystery experience blending escape room elements, roleplaying, and murder mystery intrigue. Set during various times of turmoil participants will navigate secrets, solve challenges, and make critical decisions to survive the night.
Guests are assigned unique roles with backstories and objectives. Over the course of the event, you’ll interact with other characters, uncover hidden truths, and work together (or against each other) to expose the plague carrier among you. The story unfolds in real-time, and your choices shape the outcome.
Not exactly. While there are mysteries to solve, the focus is on storytelling, character interaction, and decision-making. It’s a hybrid of immersive theatre, escape room, and murder mystery.
Your character’s fate is part of the story! Whether you survive or not, you’ll leave with an unforgettable experience, and every decision contributes to the group’s outcome.
Ticketing
Spots are limited, so secure your place quickly when tickets are available. If you’ve joined the waitlist, you’ll receive exclusive early access to tickets before they’re released to the public.

Yes! Groups of up to 8 participants can book together.
We encourage participants to wear simple, dark, medieval-inspired clothing to enhance the immersive experience. Think peasants, scribes, or pilgrims. Muted tones and practical styles work best.
Immersion & Roles
Roles are assigned a few days before the event based on your registration details. Each role comes with a unique backstory, objectives, and secrets. You’ll receive instructions about your role to help you prepare.
No acting experience is required! You can participate at your own comfort level. The story will guide you, and the characters you meet will bring the experience to life.
The atmosphere is eerie and suspenseful but not designed to be overtly frightening. Think of it as thrilling and mysterious rather than horror-based.
Yes! Interaction is a key part of the event. Building alliances, sharing (or withholding) information, and making decisions with or against other participants are central to the experience.
Health & Safety
Yes, your safety is our priority. The event space is supervised, and all activities are designed to be safe. If you have concerns, feel free to contact us in advance.
