SEIZE THE SHOW announces Spring 2021 lineup opening with THAT NIGHT AT GATSBY’S

Seize The Show have today announced their Spring programme of live performance and real-time gaming experiences.

Powered by Gamiotics technology, the company is coming up to its first anniversary and will introduce its 14th live experience this Spring.

There will be three ways to enjoy Seize The Show’s events this season: through live premieres, the RePlay series and the return of escape room escape, Rubix Control, which we gave four stars when reviewing here.

The live premiere experiences include That Night at Gatsby’s (25 February-6 March), The Body Next Door (25 March-3 April), The 99 Lives of Prince Henry Pointenclick (22 April-1 May) and War of the Worlds: A Survival Game (20-29 May).

That Night at Gatsby’s invites you to pop the champagne, dress to impress, and RSVP for the party of the century. Roll up to the glamorous Gatsby mansion and prepare to meet legendary characters from the iconic story live and in person. Flirt with Tom and Daisy Buchanan, gossip with George and Myrtle Wilson, raise a glass with Jordan Baker and seek out the mysterious Gatsby himself. But be careful – each interaction you have will change the course of the evening, as everyone has secrets to hide, and before the night is over, divine decadence will turn into high-stakes drama. With many twists and possible endings, no two parties will be the same, so get ready for an unforgettable night as you uncover what really happened That Night at Gatsby’s. Tickets are on sale now here.

The Body Next Door welcomes you to a sunny suburban neighborhood, where neighboUrs bake pie, kids play in the street, dogs bark in the distance…and dead bodies are stuffed in the recycling bin. Nothing is as it seems in this murder mystery adventure, where you have to prove you haven’t lost your mind…and, oh yeah, there’s a murderer next door to contend with! Tickets go on sale for this experience on 23 February.

The 99 Lives of Prince Henry Pointenclick is a mythic quest through the lens of your favourite 80s and 90s adventure games. You’ll guide Prince Henry Pointenclick on a perilous journey back to his kingdom, using his “extra lives” to distract dragons, confuse foes, and find your way home. But be careful not to lose all of your lives. You definitely don’t want to be responsible for Prince Henry’s evil uncle taking control of the kingdom, do you? Tickets will go on sale soon.

War of the Worlds: A Survival Game is the intimate story of your community. Everyone is trying to survive after the evil extraterrestrials secured their foothold on earth. Are you a boring, ordinary human content to serve your new overlords, or are you the leader who will rise during these extraordinary times and help your people find a new way of life in spite of these spaced invaders? Tickets will go on sale soon.

Seize the Show will also introduce the all-new RePlay series, where past shows are brought back to be a permanent part of the monthly lineup. The schedule includes Saving Wonderland from 18 March, That Night at Gatsby’s from 8 April, The Body Next Door from 6 May and The 99 Lives of Prince Henry Pointenclick from 3 June.

Rubix Control is currently still running until 20 February but due to popular demand will return in a refreshed production from 9 March-1 June that will feature brand new puzzles, one track of gameplay, and even more mischief and mayhem than you thought possible from the crew of the Rubix. Tickets will go on sale soon.

All of Seize the Show’s experiences are written by Kevin Hammonds, David Andrew Laws, Sachi Leith, Attilio Rigotti, and Jacob Thompson; produced by David Carpenter; and directed by David Carpenter and Attilio Rigotti.
