Secret cinema how long

All phones are sealed to ensure you experience the world through your own eyes, and not your screen. Whether you choose to be swept up in missions or simply explore the intricate, iconic locations as the action unfolds around you, no two shows are the same.

Expect an evening filled with action, dance and plenty of surprises, as a film classic is brought to life in front of your eyes. Cart 0. Secure Your Place. The Story Begins. Enter the Secret World. It's a fun concept and one we were unlikely to every cover on GamesIndustry.

The show explores the origins of League characters Vi and Jinx, and is part of Riot's efforts to expand League of Legends beyond the core game. Secret Cinema's commercial director Nicola Blackford adds: "Riot was looking for someone to bring their incredible, long awaited story of Arcane to life to allow their players to experience it in real life.

After experiencing the creativity and quality of the Stranger Things experience we created, they were keen for us to bring Arcane to life too. The partnership marks a significant departure for Secret Cinema. While the Stranger Things event took it beyond solely focusing on film and into the realm of premium TV, this is the first time Secret Cinema has built something around a video game albeit a TV spin-off based on a game.

Having only just taken the leap into TV, why branch into the realm of games? What we do well is make our events accessible to people who just scratch the surface of the story or those that live and breathe every detail. And the thirst of the players to play games in a world we create, as well as come face to face with League of Legend champions they have been so close to for years was very appealing.

There have been plenty of video game adaptations in recent years, from blockbuster movies like Sonic The Hedgehog and Detective Pikachu to the various series on or heading to Netflix, including Castlevania, Resident Evil, Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell and more. As popular as League of Legends is, it is perhaps less of a recognisable brand to broader audiences so why choose Arcane as the first game-based event?

Blackford tells us the series "contains many elements we look for in a Secret Cinema experience. Arcane ticks all of these boxes. Our creative director Thomas Maller and his team have been particularly excited by the challenge of gamification for the players -- to create games within games all within the sensational story of the series.

Miao adds: "The art style and settings in Arcane are absolutely gorgeous, especially in Zaun, where the Secret Cinema experience takes place. Being able to dress up and enter the world in a truly massive setting is just different than anything we've done before, and very fitting for our first animated series.

We felt confident that this would translate well to live performance where audience members would be able to draw from experience and really empathise with the moments and actors portraying the scenes.

While details on what the final event will entail -- it is, after all, a secret -- the teasers on the official website certainly read as much like a video games press release as they do an invitation to watch some TV episodes. Attendees will be cast as citizens of the undercity Zaun and "equipped with bespoke backstories and missions. Secret Cinema has been increasingly making its events interactive, such as assigning missions to every guest at its Casino Royale screeing - something the Arcane event will build on.

Riot Games has been working closely with Secret Cinema on the experience, guiding everything from design and overall plot. Actors have also been brought on board to portray familiar League of Legends champions, but for Miao it's Secret Cinema's attention to detail that has him particularly excited.
