DALLAS — Local Minecraft fans will want to block their calendars, as a new interactive experience is hosting its world premiere in Dallas-Fort Worth, allowing them to dig into the game on a whole new level.
"Minecraft Experience: Villager Rescue" will host its world premiere on Sept. 20 at 2717 N. Central Expressway in Plano, allowing players and non-players alike to experience the world of Minecraft in a real-life quest.
The one-hour journey will escort players through a blocky forest to learn the ropes before moving into the village where their quest and rescue mission begins. That mission includes a scavenger hunt that goes through multiple biomes famous in the game while building structures and interacting with an assortment of Minecraft's iconic creatures like spiders, face skeletons and creepers. After completing the quest, teams can celebrate and relax at the Minecraft Experience Trading Post, which includes a memento for the adventure.
“We’re thrilled to introduce the first-ever immersive touring Minecraft experience where guests can follow a quest through the Minecraft Overworld in real life. Starting in Dallas later this year, players will have their dreams of a Minecraft adventure brought to life,” says Kayleen Walters, head of franchise development at Mojang Studios. “Finding ways for our community to express their love for Minecraft both in-game and out is always top of mind for us.”
While the experience is an opportunity to connect with Minecraft in a new way as the game celebrates its' 15th anniversary, it's also designed so that non-players can enjoy it.
“Minecraft Experience is an adventure unlike anything we have ever created. The collaboration between our creative and producing team and the teams at Mojang and Microsoft has created an entirely new form of in-person experience at the crossroads of game design, experiential storytelling, and high-tech multimedia,” says Supply + Demand's Founder and CEO Olivier Goulet.
Tickets will go on sale to the general public on June 3, but those interested in buying tickets during the pre-sale can register here.
