This was so silly and fun. I loved how there was a central theme (and it made sense, even though it was nuts!), and we had a group mission and individual missions that required us to follow the storyline and go of on our own and make relationships with other attendees. The overall organizational structure and flow of how they set that up was very cute and stayed in theme. The actors were a real treat and had us engaging in fun and silly ways. I very much recommend this experience!

This was a lovely experience, heavy on the elements of modern dance. The costumes were rich and detailed, the actors were great, and the atmosphere was on point. There were some fun interactions with actors, but I think increasing those would make this experience even more fun. The plot made sense overall, but as much of it was just interpreted though dance, rather than a spoken script, I was a little fuzzy on the exact details of what was happening. At one point, something happened that made me think that I was dead, but I wasn't ever quite sure, and neither were fellow participants, until after when the staff explained it to us. The system for marking specific folks to be pulled for small group experiences failed for me, at least one time, which was a bummer. So, I recommend attending, but I think with a few tweaks, Poe-Etique could be an even more engaging experience. Either way, it was beautifully produced and a very enjoyable evening of theater.

This was almost cool. There are three components: online, location 1, and location 2. Online was interesting. Location 1 was very fun, but location 2 is revealed at location 1, and it was a looooong drive in Los Angeles. I wish I had realized ahead of time what a trek it was going to be. Also the ending was lackluster, like . . . we drove all that way for that? But, the idea is here. I think this could be a fun experience with more development, but this wasn't quite there. If you do this at night bring a flashlight, lantern, headlamp. We were not at all prepared and that would have been very helpful.

Meh. The VR is cool but half of the game you have no control over anything. You're just watching your character move. The other half you have the tiniest but of movement. I liked the Pearl experience better at this location. They are very set on calling these "experiences" not "games." I would not be surprised if this was backlash because this was definitely not a game and it's very very short. 10 - 15 minutes or so.
