Escape from Godot

You are invited to a play. But it’s that play. You know, the one they call “important,” “the quintessence of existentialism,” and “a meaningless trudge between the cradle and the grave.” You promised your friend you’d be there. Enter the theater and find your seat — you have 60 minutes to escape.

Escape from Godot is a game and a show, the show is the game and the game is the show. An audience of eight participants must work together to explore the space, solve puzzles, call cues, and watch the performance in order to get out before “lawyers arrive to sue everyone in the theater for the entirely unauthorized and disrespectful production.” Without the audience’s focus, communication and cooperation, the show may never end.
