About the experience
LANDER 23 is a live action video game – a fusion of gaming and theatre where the audience become the protagonist of a real life video game: instead of sitting on the sofa in front of your TV, what would happen if you threw away your controller and stepped inside the game? With genuine agency and true video game mechanics, LANDER 23 promises to be the next generation of immersive experience.
You will enter the experience and will be given a vest and headphones to wear. There will be versions of the vest to cater to different access requirements – please contact our Box Office team for more information.
Please note that bags of any size are not permitted in the experience; a cloak room is in operation and any personal mobile devices must either be left in your bag or safely stored on your person. Mobile devices and smart watches must be switched off for the experience. You will be moving around the space for the majority of the experience.
What’s the running time for LANDER 23?
Including onboarding, the running time of the production is approximately one hour and thirty minutes.

We reserve the right to deny entry to anyone under age, or any child not accompanied by an adult.
