London's leading immersive adventure game inventors, Time Run, have today announced an entirely new mission which will open in two months' time. The Celestial Chain takes live gaming to the next level with a pioneering gameplay format which challenges teams to test their mental skill and dexterity in more missions than ever before.

The Celestial Chain spearheads a new generation in Time Run's evolving model of elevating traditional live gaming experiences. Running concurrently with the critically and publicly acclaimed Lance of Longinus, this ground-breaking, interactive experience allows Time Runners to travel through multiple fast-paced time zones.

Behind an apparently unremarkable warehouse door in London Fields, time traveler Luna Fox and her robotic companion, Babbage, are once again recruiting Time Runners as they battle with an ancient force bent on revenge. A rogue goddess, once imprisoned, has broken free of her shackles - the titular Celestial Chain - and is moving freely through time; wreaking havoc and leaving a trail of devastation in her wake. Time Runners must journey from the distant past to the far-flung future, gathering lost and concealed artefacts to bind the goddess once again; or risk the end of the world as we know it.

An exemplary scoring system will enable teams to chart their achievements against other Runners and offers the opportunity to return time and again to beat previous scores. The new format of the game boasts the capability to allow larger groups to compete; in just over two hours, seven teams will be able complete the experience. With a set amount of time in each time period, The Celestial Chain is a high-octane, adrenaline-fueled quest which immerses teams in more beautifully crafted worlds than ever before and offers a number of possible endings to the quest for a truly indulgent experience of pure escapism and action adventure.

Time Run is at the forefront of the new generation of live gaming experiences, developing the phenomenon by combining intricately planned game design with high-end technology and impressive production values. Created by a team of expert game designers, production specialists and live event organisers, Time Run is perfect for thrill-seekers and families, novices and experienced gamers alike. Time Runners can enjoy the new mission in teams of 3-4 people, and have one hour to complete their quest by piecing together the story, solving puzzles and finding hidden clues. For those who succeed, the dream of being an action adventure hero can become a reality.

Lance of Longinus, which launched in March 2015, will continue to offer teams of 3-6 the opportunity to experience the original Time Run game. An evolution of the escape room game, drawing on rich worlds, characters and a narrative, The Lance of Longinus has launched 30,000 Time Runners through the portal and has had an overwhelmingly positive critical and public response.

Co-created by Josh Ford, Simon Oliveira and Matt Kay.

Josh is co-founder of the hugely successful crazy golf club Swingers and founded the Boutique Events company and festival Winterwell.
