An Edinburgh Fringe Cult Phenomenon - First Time in NZ.
SOLD OUT – Edinburgh Fringe 2019, 2022, 2023 & 2024
Welcome to THE DARK ROOM – the world’s only live-action, text-based adventure game. It’s strange, insane and addictive – it’s a choose-your-own-adventure, so choose it!
WATCH - The DARK ROOM
How do you play? The audience is trapped in a retro videogame with a sadistic end-of-level boss. Choose your options, survive the abuse simulator that is the improv comedy overlord John Robertson, and escape to win PRIZES – or, be brutally murdered by the rest of the crowd!
Now, will you:
Now its 12th year, this high-octane interactive show is the brainchild of comedian & cult leader John Robertson. Filled with stand-up, appalling prizes and more audience chanting than you’d get at a protest – it’s a gut-busting rock n’ roll geek experience for everyone who buys a ticket.
Just 4 nights only @ Q Theatre, Auckland / Weds 7 to Sat 10 May at 9:30pm
Plus a Bonus Family Friendly Edition - Sat 10 May at 4:30pm
