Hailed as "fiendishly good fun" by Metro, Plymouth Point is an unmissable theatrical experience that takes place entirely online and pulls participants into the dangerous underbelly of a suburban community. A young woman has gone missing, and the residents of Plymouth Point are concerned. The neighborhood's Residents Watch has invited you to an emergency Zoom meeting for a briefing before you join the search. Piece together the mysterious story behind her disappearance by hunting online for clues to her whereabouts before it's too late... but be careful not to get caught in the web of conspiracies, cults and corporate deceit that lies ahead.
Plymouth Point is the first installment in Swamp Motel's London Stone Trilogy, a trio of online-based theatrical adventures designed as at-home experiences for a team of 2-6 people who are not physically together. Each participant joins on their own computer, with one person sharing their screen with the team. Initial instructions are given in the ticket confirmation email, the Residents Watch meeting begins at the appointed time, and then it's up to your team of sleuths to collectively find the answers. Everything takes place online: players will have to scour social media for clues, crack codes to break into secure websites, and discover secret passwords to solve the mystery, all in 60-75 minutes.
Plymouth Point is performed Wednesday-Sunday at 7:30 pm ET / 4:30pm PT and 9:00 pm ET / 6:00 pm PT, as well as 8:55 pm PT / 11:55 pm ET. Tickets to join the search can be purchased at

Plymouth Point is devised and directed by Clem Garritty and Ollie Jones.
