  • The dress code is formal wear - preferably black and white. Guests will receive a mask upon arrival. Black tie is requested for smoother immersion in the event, a form of ‘costume’ in line with the prestigious occasion of being inaugurated as a member of this special secret society.

  • No. This event is open to people of all levels of experience, including beginners. Your level of involvement is entirely under your control.

  • Yes, food and beverages will be available to purchase on the night.
    Drinks: Cash bar will be operating from the pavilion.
    Food: Tokens can be purchased at the reception desk and redeemed at the kitchen in the ‘out of character’ area. This will also be a space where attendees can disengage from the event if they need a break.

  • Upon arriving at the Hellenic Museum, guests will check in with their tickets, receive a mask and gather at the museum entrance. The night will start with the Medusa team giving a rundown of the game mechanisms, rules and housekeeping, before the game begins. We don’t want to spoil it for anyone, but from here, it’s time to take on the role of your character, immerse yourself in the story, and play!

  • In the spirit of responsive theatre and to ensure the best possible experience for everyone, guests will be expected to remain in character, act and interact as their character would, dress as their character would, respect others, and follow all rules and instructions on the night. Basically, be someone that you yourself would like to play with!


    The standard Museum rules also apply: no running, leaning on cabinets, food or drink in gallery spaces, etc.

  • Yes! It must be a black mask.
