The Dark Room 2 – Family Friendly Version
This afternoon we went back in time when computer games weren’t as sophisticated at they are today, well actually there wasn’t anything resembling sophistication back in the day when your adventures consisted of multiple choice text options – kids you need to Google it (something else we didn’t have the luxury of, but instead a trip to the large encyclopaedia section at the local library if your parents hadn’t bought a set from the door to door salesman!)
John Robertson was the live action gaming host at The Quarry Theatre at St Luke’s as part of the Bedfringe 2015 season and he helped us on our journey…..to certain death! Individuals and then the audience as a group (very loudly) tried to navigate their way to the £1,000 prize however all attempts resulted in failure. However to quell the disappointment there were no all expense spared consolation prizes with my 7 year proudly wining a vinyl ‘The Sound of Bread’ album (we need to buy a record player now!)
There were lots of jokes and audience participation and I now want to go back and see the grown up only version!
