The Dark Room with John Robertson

YOU AWAKE TO FIND YOURSELF IN…THE DARK ROOM!

This Thursday (September 17), a truly unique show is coming to myBurgerLab (#160B, Norodom Blvd).

It’s the world’s only live-action videogame!

Its interactive and insane, improv comedy and retro gaming fused into a deranged rock n’ roll game show.

Originally an interactive YouTube series:



The Dark Room went viral in 2012, with 4,000,000 hits.

It appeared on NPR, in Variety magazine, L’oiel du Links (Canal+) and was nominated for Jayisgames.com’s Best of Casual Games 2012.

“This is the future of gaming” – Ron Gilbert, creator of The Secret of Monkey Island.

“I just want to punch this guy in the face!” – unnamed US News Anchor.

In August 2012, The Dark Room debuted at the Edinburgh Fringe, the world’s largest arts festival.

Combining a screen, $5 of electronics, an innovative multimedia rig and John Robertson’s manic flair for improvisation and abuse, it was THE cult hit of the Fringe, creating an exhilarating, incredible world of fun, fear, nostalgia and terrible prizes.

This is a live comedy the whole audience doesn’t just watch… it plays!

Since 2012, the show has grown into a touring production that’s been staged in 3,000-seater theatres, corporate events, gaming and sci-fi expos, Fringe and Comedy festivals and toured the UK, Europe, Australia and Southeast Asia.



In 2014, it was streamed on Twitch for a one-off special, garnering 250,000 players over a four-hour marathon show.

It’s the annual entertainment for Australia’s EB Games Expo, (the largest gaming event in the Southern Hemisphere), filled its tent at MCM London Comic-Con, packed out London’s Udderbelly Southbank and is the floorshow for the 2016 UK Games Expo.

No two shows are the same. No other show is the same. This is THE DARK ROOM!

Tickets, available on the door on the night, are priced at $5. Students can get in for half price! Show runs from 7pm until 9pm.

Prizes will be given out to game participants on the night, including special pre-screening tickets to the upcoming movie The Martian.



A special Dark Room burger will be on sale only on Thursday. The taste is inescapable!

Not sure about inescapable tastes... by and large that sounds like a shit sandwich. The rest of it sounds fun though. If I was in PP... which I hope never to be... I'd go.

There was something similar in Scotchland but not so high tech.
