The Gray Man Training Program (Netflix)

The Gray Man Training Program (Netflix)

The world of the Russo Brother's new Netflix thriller finds Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans as elite assassins in a world-spanning duel to the death... and you can too!

This escape game based activation promises to test your skills and see if you have what it takes to become/take down The Gray Man.

Your mission, if you choose to... wait, wrong franchise, uh... enter the gray zone (sure, why not) at the ABM Parking Lot on the corner of First Ave. and Island Ave

Thursday – Saturday, 10am – 7pm
Sunday 11am – 4pm

House of the Dragon: The Dragon’s Den

House of the Dragon: The Dragon’s Den

Return to King's Landing and once again sit the Iron Throne.

This pop-up aims to get fans excited again about the realm of Westeros, with the new series that's set during the legitimately exciting "Dance of the Dragons" era of the fictional history, whose ending has already been totally worked out already by George R.R. Martin in previously published works.

Dare we fall in love with a Song of Ice and Fire again?

On the MLK Promenade Thurs - Sunday, 11am - 6:30pm daily (Sunday close at 4:30).

Severance: Welcome To Lumon

Severance: Welcome To Lumon

Looking for a new career? Hate taking work home with you?

Consider Lumon.

Now you can enjoy the full benefits of Severance in your own life, as opposed to just being jealous while watching those rascally data refiners undermine Kier's dream because they don't appreciate the true value of a waffle party.

Activation runs July 21 -24. Applications (read: reservations) open at 6AM for that day each day. The early Outie gets the waffle!
