Like all of us, you've probably often thought that the one thing missing from John Robertson's terrifying live-action videogame The Dark Room, is a version for children.
You heard it here first - after six years at Edinburgh Festival Fringe, rock-solid Fringe institution The Dark Room unexpectedly branches out to kids.
Those who know the show will be VERRRRRY interested to see how that works.
Part stand-up comedy show, part Theatre; all interactive and insane - this award-winning, genre-defining, mixture of improv comedy + retro gaming all combines to become a deranged rock n' roll game show - now suitable for ages 12 and up.
Families will find themselves trapped inside a live-action videogame! How will they escape?! Will they: A) Find the light switch? B) Scream? C) Kick a Pokemon? If they win, there are terrible prizes! But if they lose, The Dark Room keeps whichever of their parents they like the least.
With over 4,000,000 YouTube hits and sell-out shows worldwide, this is a bonkers game-show for families featuring challenges, death, danger and jokes about Minecraft (unless they threaten to sue).
This is an interactive, immersive, non-patronising, down-with-the-kids, game show that kicks butt and doesn't swear.
A must see for anyone who wants to treat/punish their little darlings with a cult hit, super fun, fear-filled interactive adventure like no other.
John Robertson's traditional and far more sweary The Dark Room is also playing 3rd- 27th August - 8pm.
Tickets can be purchased here.
