History comes alive as Live History pays a visit to King City on August 9th for it's Raspberry Social!
Live History, A Governor General’s Award nominated international touring theatre company, is hosting a unique escape room in the KHCC's newly restored King Railway Station. Bringing King's history to life through theatre, they present "In Time": giving you - the audience - a chance to be in charge! Complete tasks, discover clues, and solve puzzles; while, interacting with actors to escape the train station.
Each character you’ll meet has a unique list of tasks to complete, so be sure to carefully consider which characters you’ll want to help or hinder. Characters and their stories appear in real time as they go about their day. For a full experience, be sure to spend as much time as possible with each one!
The clock is ticking. The sand is slipping through the hourglass. Lives could be at stake - history could be changed. The whole world rests on your shoulders, and time is running out. Will you be in time?
