It’s a dark, stormy night. The stars are out. Jim, the inn-keeper’s grandson, opens the door to a terrifying stranger. At the old sailor’s feet sits a huge sea-chest, full of secrets. Jim invites him in – and his dangerous voyage begins…
Part live game, part immersive theatre, part treasure hunt, this thrilling mission is in your hands, for extreme suspense and adventure. Not only will you have to embrace your inner Bear Grylls, you’ll also have to prove yourself as a game designer and performer to create, direct and bring to life a re-telling of Treasure Island like no other. You’ll design the ultimate experience, as you learn how to turn RPG gaming mechanics into an interactive live performance. You’ll challenge your creative writing skills by incorporating player’s choices into your scripts of courage, adventure, fortune and greed. You’ll seek to capture this stark world of secrets and betrayal, by building sets, designing soundscapes and developing characters.
Will your players find Captain Flint’s fabled treasure? And if they do… how many of them will be left?
