Punchdrunk’s Lander 23

Step into a new world of immersive gameplay with Punchdrunk’s Lander 23 – a live action video game adventure like no other.

A week ago, the crew of Lander 23 disappeared without a trace while extracting a powerful new energy source on an uncharted planet.

Now, you’re the next team in.

In Lander 23, Punchdrunk invites you into a ground-breaking sci-fi mission, where the fate of your crew depends on your choices, communication, and courage. This live action, multiplayer stealth game divides players into two interdependent squads – Ground Team and Command – who must work together in real time across a treacherous alien landscape.

Your mission: Launch. Search. Survive.

From the creators of Sleep No More and The Burnt City, Punchdrunk blurs the boundaries between gaming, theatre, and thrill-seeking adventure. The environment is immersive. The stakes are high. And time is running out.

What to Expect

This isn’t just a show – it’s a mission. As the Fields explore the hazardous terrain, the Drivers guide them remotely using only voice communication. Every decision counts. Every movement matters. And your survival is anything but guaranteed.

With dynamic gameplay, eerie sci-fi aesthetics and a story that places you right in the centre of a mystery, Lander 23 delivers a real-time adrenaline rush.

Tickets & Booking

What’s the story?

The Lander Division of the Centre for Astrobiology is responsible for exploring the outer realms of the galaxy. No division goes further or deeper into the unknown.

Tasked with discovering unchartered territories, exploring the outermost reaches and bringing back valuable data to the mothership.

A week ago, the crew of LANDER 23 vanished while harvesting a new and valuable energy source on Hisarlik 426. A distress signal, then silence.

You are the next crew in.

Your mission is clear – continue their job without the same happening to you.

Time is not on your side. The environment is treacherous. There are hidden dangers lurking in the shadows. Do not deviate from the mission.

Mission Parameters:

Launch Uncharted planet, landing site coordinates classified.
Search Immediate deployment – locate and secure energy sources.
Survive Evade all threats; work with your comrades to prioritize energy extraction and return to base.

LANDER 23 is a multiplayer stealth game that splits you into two squads – Command (Drivers) and Ground Team (Fields). As the Fields navigate the alien landscape, you’ll rely solely on the voice and guidance of your Drivers, stationed aboard the ship. Communication is your lifeline.

LANDER 23: LAUNCH, SEARCH, SURVIVE.

All players must wear provided audio equipment to participate.
