Gone Viral

Inspired by the 1957 book Pillars Of Midnight by Elleston Trevor (the basis of the 1963 thriller 80,000 Suspecta adapted and directed by Val Guest) about medical scientists battling a smallpox outbreak, reinterpreted as an online experience.

TAGLINE: A doctor's already-shaky marriage is tested to an even greater extent when he has to contend with a smallpox epidemic.

Our recently-released digital LARP game and Escape Room involves you in a race against time to identify and locate the cure and contain the spread of a deadly smallpox outbreak.

A smallpox outbreak takes place in a fictional village, transposed to Bath for the film. The main doctor at the Nightingale Hospital, Stephen Monks, joins with his colleagues, local government officials and the Press to try to contain the outbreak. His wife Julie, a nurse, helps at the hospital before succumbing to a strain of the illness.

The Logistics
We will be playing online using Zoom rooms for you to communicate, and a separate weblink to access the escape room element, where you will be solving puzzles to find the cure. Take part in this immersive event, playing in a small group as one of the film characters, in our alternate cinema inspired by the classic thriller.

Character sheets will be provided.

We'll provide the link to short character sheets, this is a LARP Adjacent event designed for the general public, we hope that you will be able to bring another dimension using characters from the source material.
