Tomb Raider: The LIVE Experience

Head along to Tomb Raider: The LIVE Experience – which features 30,000 square feet of Costa Rican jungle, sinking ships and a distinctly raidable tomb – and you’ll get to trek the globe, while solving puzzles and unearthing relics.

We think you’re going to dig it.

The vast movie set that you’ll be stepping into is the brainchild of Little Lion Entertainment, which also brought us The Crystal Maze (so they have experience of rescuing ancient, priceless relics).

They teamed up with the video game publishers Square Enix, and unearthed an extraordinary venue in the heart of Camden Market to use as their immersive canvas. It’s unimaginably huge, has 10 meter high ceilings, and is filled with spectacular sets that jump around the globe’s more exotic locales.

Your experience will start as it means to go on – impressively – as you enter through a grand atrium overlooked by a huge sandstone-style statue of Lara herself. You and your team of up to 8 friends will then head inside to tackle Finnish tundra; escape from a sinking ship; spelunk in the caves of Canaza; and raid the tomb of Sibu, amongst other adventures and challenges.

There’s a strong narrative element throughout that’ll be brought to life by live actors and digital media, which will see you battle a secret order, solve puzzles and ultimately save the world. There’s even a zipline. It’s that big.

All told, you’ll have to solve fiendish puzzles, make it through escape-room-style challenges, and fire the occasional arrow at chasing snowmobiles. And you’ll thankfully have a handy guide along the way to help you navigate said challenges – the actors are genuinely top notch, and were whittled down from over 3,000 applicants to just 33 cast members. So they’ve already passed some formidable tests themselves.

And when it’s all over? You’ll later be invited to recover with a stiff drink, inside the safety of Croft Manor.

It’s an Old Fashioned sort of place.

 

NOTE: Tomb Raider: The LIVE Experience is open Tuesday – Sunday – you can get tickets on the Tomb Raider website.
