How participation works
This is not a sit-back-and-watch kind of show
From the moment the night begins, the audience becomes part of the energy of the room. The crowd helps shape the tension, the laughter, the momentum, and the fate of the heroes themselves. We won’t spoil exactly how it works. We’ll just say this: your presence matters more than you think.
Participate as much or as little as you like. No experience required.
