Welcome to the night shift. You've been assigned to a surveillance van parked in a remote lot. The monitors are live and a voice on the walkie is ready to guide you. Your task? Watch closely, follow protocol, and make it to morning. Night Watch is an immersive thriller where corporate training meets corporeal dread. Designed by a team of immersive and theme park design veterans, this experience blends interactive storytelling with escape room elements and analog horror – all set within a 9-foot cargo van. Night Watch is an intimate immersive thriller set entirely within a 9-foot cargo van. Participants play newly hired security guards on an overnight shift. The show includes a mix of one-on-one actor interaction, tactile media components, and light gameplay. This is a guided narrative adventure with some "escape room-lite" elements, not a traditional escape room. Tickets are sold by time slot - each slot can accommodate 1 to 4 participants. Night Watch is designed to be accessible to participants of all interactivity and mobility levels. Participants will be seated on a bench or desk chair inside a parked van. Participants must be able to transfer into the vehicle. A signed waiver is required to participate.

About Bee's Knees
Bee's Knees is the production brainchild of two immersive industry veterans: Sara Beil and KJ Knies. Having gotten their start in theater and film, they longed for something a little more…daring. They made their leap into immersive storytelling by way of virtual reality, which eventually led them to immersive theater, where they honed their craft in interactive narrative, experiential design, and guest engagement. By day, they now work in themed entertainment – Sara on the creative side of things, and KJ on the production side. But at night, they like to have fun – the only way creators know how – by creating cool shit. Bee's Knees is their playground for bold, hands-on storytelling that pushes boundaries and invites audiences to step inside the story.
