POSTPONED TO 2026
Now, this one is going to be fun! Unlike all those other dumb events.
This lighthearted interactive experience will traverse all five floors of Trainscendence. Encounter a few mystical characters, solve a couple of puzzles and enjoy the intrigue quest of Melbourne’s most underground quest.
On holiday in Athens, you’re part of a small group who signs up for a ‘tour of the Underworld.’ Your charming tour guide leads you underground via a crumbling staircase, then through the darkness via lamplight. Abruptly, your tour guide vanishes, leaving you on a cavernous train platform. At this point, an announcement informs you all that trains to the underworld are not currently running. Luckily, there are replacement buses available.
From there, your group must navigate on your own. There are a few puzzles, some familiar mythological characters and some less expected characters, and at least two different possible endings. The silver lining is that no matter which ending you get, it will feature a surprise musical performance offering.
The whole experience is two hours long, and five different sessions will run throughout the day on Fri 13 June... Fri 13th... oooo! One day only. We may repeat this event, but that’s currently TBD.
Replacement Bus In The Underworld is designed for groups of 8-12. You are welcome gather your own group of that size. If you prefer to book in as an individual, or a group of fewer than 8, then we’ll assign you to a group of soon-to-be friends. (Friendship not guaranteed, it’s reasonably likely that you’ll simply have a nice time with the fellow players not already known to you, but not stay in touch.)
(If your question is not answered below, please email us at [email protected] to enquire about anything at all. Thanks :) )
Q: Do I need to be in character?
A: No! This event does not require you to play in character yourself. It is implied that you are on holiday in Athens as a group, so you’re welcome to embellish the story of how you came to be in Athens during the experience if you so desire.
Q: Will actors touch me or invade my personal space?
No! At the beginning of the experience, we’ll invite you to choose a red, yellow or green sticker. This lets our actors know how comfortable audience members are. Anyone with a red sticker will never be directly interacted with, while a bold green-sticker-wearer might be chosen as a audience volunteer. (We’ll also advise you to keep our actors comfortable by not touching them unless directly invited).
Q: Is there a ‘winning’ ending?
A: Yes, in our minds. Although this will not be communicated to players until a few days later, so in the moment it’s up to you to decide whether you think you’ve ‘won’ the game. Even when the ‘correct’ ending is revealed, you might decide that you prefer the ending you found anyway.
