About this tour
An interactive theatre show blending live performance with audience participation, set in a fantasy and horror world created by author Oliver McNeil. Running 1 hour 20 minutes, the show features masked actors, puzzles you'll help solve, and creature encounters designed to engage and challenge viewers aged 6 and up. You're not watching passively — you're part of the story as it unfolds.
Highlights
- Live masked characters responding to audience choices in real time
- Puzzles woven into the narrative that require group problem-solving
- Fantasy and horror themes with creature design and theatrical effects
- Suitable for ages 6 and up, though age suitability varies by show
- No physical fitness demands; accessible seating accommodates prams and service animals
- Roughly 80 minutes of continuous immersive storytelling and interaction
What to expect
You'll arrive and be briefed on the basic premise and rules of interaction — how you can influence the story's direction through decisions and puzzle-solving. Once the show begins, live performers in costume will present scenarios, introduce challenges, and respond to audience input. You'll be called on to answer riddles, make choices that affect plot direction, and react to theatrical surprises including creature appearances and atmospheric effects. The narrative builds momentum through the middle section, with stakes and complexity increasing. The show concludes with a resolution shaped partly by the choices you and fellow audience members made.
Throughout, there's a mix of scripted narrative and improvised response from the cast based on how the audience engages. The theatre setting is intimate enough that you'll feel directly addressed, not just passively watching from a distance.

Good to know
This works best for families wanting something more interactive than a standard pantomime or play, and for adults who enjoy participatory theatre and puzzle-solving. Check the specific show's age rating before buying — while the experience suits ages 6 and up overall, individual shows may have stricter guidance (some may lean harder into horror elements). The space is fully accessible for prams, strollers, and service animals. No special fitness is required. The show runs 1 hour 20 minutes without interval, so young children should be comfortable sitting or standing for that duration. The ticket covers one person's entry; additional family members need separate tickets. Group size and exact schedule vary by venue and date.
