ALIBI: Dead Air : Tom Black & Dean Rodgers

  • 29 October - 2 November
  • Theatre Deli, London

Twelve suspects. One killer. And that killer could be YOU.

A true crime podcast, with a murdered host. A serial killer on the loose. Alibi is an immersive murder mystery game where you play both suspect and detective. A game of social deduction, where you must solve the clues to uncover which one of your fellow players is the killer.

This new game (based on the Chinese phenomenon Jubensha) is from immersive legends Tom Black (Parabolic; Jury Games) and Dean Rodgers (Heist; Secret Cinema. Black and Rodgers each offered Voidspace Live a Jubensha in June (Spy of the Year Awards and The Crow Club), so it's super exciting to see them join forces for this new adventure.

  • Vauxhall, London

Get ready for some cosmic horror, as spaceship simulator Bridge Command brings us two bespoke Halloween. episodes. Players can choose from Ghost in the Machine - where they explore a sector haunted by the the ghosts of a turbulent history; and Silo - where a silent ghost ship carries a chilling secret.

  • Colab Tower, London

Last chance to catch Punchdrunk veteran Vinicius Salles’ feminist take on the Bacchae, after a sell out run, including at the Voidspace’s own VPN.


What We Must - Interactive Storytelling : Aaron Oliver

  • 30 October - 1 November
  • Colab Tower, London

We have to get home. Terrible choices lie in our path. We will do what we must.

What We Must is a TTRPG inspired storytelling experience where the audience play the survivors of the apocalypse. You have 5 days to get home, and each day brings a new situation and a new choice.

Will you make it home in time? How ruthless will you be, to survive? The choice is yours.


The Clocktower : Colab Theatre

  • 24 October - 1 November
  • Colab Tower, London

The rig is groaning in a midnight gale when an alarm cuts through the din. Systems are failing. Someone aboard is working against you.

Welcome to The Clocktower, a fast, funny, and fiendishly tense social deduction experience for groups. You’ll step into a crew of rough-and-ready rig workers—Engineers, Riggers, Medics, Security—each with a unique ability that can help (or hinder) the team. By day you’ll trade intel, bargain in the mess hall, and accuse your “friends.” By night… things happen in the dark. Find the saboteur before it's too late.


Croydonites presents: Trainwreck - TomYumSim Theatre

  • 28 October - 1 November
  • CYTO, South Norwood

🚨 Attention passengers! 🚨 Welcome aboard The Stupendous Resplendent Express - destination: unknown. In the highly probable event this train is hijacked by AI, you will be treated to emergency dance breaks, surprise exits and unsolicited karaoke from your fellow passengers. Exits may open where walls once stood. Please keep your limbs, secrets, and existential crises inside the Train(wreck) at all times.

Trainwreck is a delirious, ever-mutating satire where you and your co-passengers attempt to steer towards a dream destination. Your choices fuel the engine - while AI fiddles with the map, the throttle, and possibly reality itself.

Taking inspiration from Glasgow’s infamous “immersive” Willy Wonka knockoff and overhyped global fiasco ‘Fyre Festival’, this is immersive madness at full steam ahead.
