See It Again

This was a very satisfying foray into immersive theatre. The host was great at explaining the rules in an entertaining fashion.

It was a great workout for the mind and I got a chance to interact with performers which I've really never done before. Got interacted with frequently even though I didn't know what I was doing. Lol.

Some artifacts were harder to get and some solutions towards obtaining an artifact were interesting and the host made the experience inclusive by summarizing how artifacts were obtained in case out of the loop. Concept was interestingly structured as some actors were there more to guide and others were central points in the drama of this new years party.

Because there were different arcs going on at the same time, you couldn't hear or be a part of everything and there was competing noise so that made it a bit tough. Towards the end though I was a bit tired, it's work!! lol. I did wish there was a bit more drama and less artifacts so I could enjoy and take it easy. But that would make it less of a game so I get it. The game aspect invests the audience more.

All in all, definitely worth the ride. Kudos to the actors. None of them made it awkward when I didn't know what to say. It's a nice place to meet your audience members and meet performers, while in their role.
