Youʼll be interacting in the real world with the performers as well as your fellow players in a totally immersive experience that will lead you through a series of challenges. But be careful how you play it – because nothing is quite what it seems. Joining any elite comes at a price, and the higher you reach for Heaven the greater the drop to hell. Because this is the world of…
