How it works

• There’s a deck of 20 cards.

• Each time someone draws a card, the room responds instantly: the sound, light, and atmosphere shift to reveal a new scene.

• Your choice doesn’t just add something—it changes the whole space, like turning a page in a live, immersive story.

The 12-scene arc (and why it matters)

This experience has a built-in countdown: when the 12th scene is revealed, the show ends.

That means every draw pushes the piece forward toward a real finale. The room gradually transforms, tension builds, and the ending arrives as a collective result of everyone’s choices.

Why it’s a truly unique show

Because the order of draws shapes the journey, the show can unfold in 60,339,831,552,000 different ways—about 60× the estimated number of stars in the Andromeda Galaxy.

So you’re not watching a “repeatable” performance—you’re inside a version that can only happen once, with this exact crowd, on this night.

What to expect

• No prep required — you don’t need to know anything going in.

• Come for 5 minutes or stay for the full arc — you can drop in, but if you stick around you’ll feel the narrative build.

• It’s social and collaborative — bring friends and let them pick a card too.

• Every run is different — the order of the cards changes the journey.

Your role

You’re not “watching” a show—you’re activating it.

Draw a card, watch the environment change, and feel the moment you helped create.
