Saboteur
is a live performance in which the audience participates in the action
of the show by doing large-scale, hands-on puzzles. These puzzles are
interspersed with theatrical sequences (much like cut scenes in a video
game) and the story is revealed through this combination of performance
and puzzles. For an example, visit the walk-through of our previous
puzzle show 1926 Pleasant.
Is Saboteur an audience participatory show?
Yes, but not in the way you might be
used to. The audience isn't expected to act or converse with the
performers. You won't be required to dance or wear funny hats. You just
get to do awesome puzzles.
What if puzzles aren't my thing?
You'd be surprised - you may have just
the insight your team will need! But there will be other people at your
performance who love figuring out the puzzles, and helping them find
solutions can be lots of fun.
What is Saboteur about?
We might tell you "Spies", but then
you'd know too much.
Why so many performances?
Because of the hands-on nature of Saboteur, it's important to keep
the audience small (around 15 people per performance). Therefore we
added performances to give more people the chance to see it.
Will the audience be moving around a lot?
You should expect to be on your feet
for about 90 minutes (though limited seating will be available in
certain rooms and accommodations can be made for those with reduced
mobility).
Will concessions be available at the show?
Bottled water will be freely available,
but we ask that you bring no other food or drink into the performance
space.
Where is Saboteur being performed?
Saboteur
is being performed at a secret location in Northeast Minneapolis. The
location will be revealed once you have purchased tickets. This venue
is along major bus lines and easily accessible from a nearby freeway.
How much territory will we cover?
Saboteur
takes place in one location. You'll be walking from room to room, but
we won't be kidnapping you in a van and taking you anywhere. Total
distance traveled will be just a couple hundred feet, all indoors.
What will I get if I win?
Success is a journey, not a
destination! Saboteur won't
have winners and losers. Don't worry, we're not going to time you, and
we won't be comparing one audience against another. Sure, there are
puzzles to solve, but it's more of an experience than a competition.
Can I purchase tickets at the door?
No. Because of limited capacity,
all tickets must be purchased in advance. Prices vary depending on the
performance.
