A new pop-up bar in London is requiring entrants to play a terrifying new game in order to get in. The Kraken Rum has created an immersive experience for its annual Halloween Screamfest experience which takes place on the 27-29th of October from 7pm to 11pm.
Visitors will have to partake in a macabre game of hide 'n' seek in scary and dilapidated basement venue at The Ditch at Shoreditch Town Hall. The game will last for a full 20 minutes and in that time participants need to contort themselves into a variety of unpleasant and claustrophobic hiding places to evade the ‘seekers’ - a malevolent masked cult that worships The Beast.
Along the way they'll need to find collectibles to redeem for extra rewards once in the bar. If discovered by the cult, participants will be locked in the basement until their time is up. After the time has elapsed, the doors to the bar will unlock and guests will finally have the chance to emerge into the open and enjoy a menu of original Kraken Halloween rum cocktails at the bar made by master cocktail makers.
The bar will also be decked out with a number of Kraken Rum arcade machines, loaded with an arcade version of the horror hide and seek experience. As part the‘Screamfest VI: Here We Come’ experience, tickets are priced at £10 and can be booked at the Universe website including a welcome drink and a cocktail token.
