IS IT A SHOW? IS IT A GAME? IS IT A TOUR?
IT’S AN EXPERIENCE.

WHAT IS IT?
The Miracle Bean And The Chocolate Machine is the latest immersive experience from the creator of Accomplice ("Ingenious and unique. Don't Miss!" —Critic's Pick, Time Out New York) and The Grift (“A quirky, ingenious and altogether delightful piece of entertainment.” —What's On Stage London.)
Part theater and part game, using the stunning backdrop of Harvest Moon Farm as its stage and setting, this interactive production drops its audience into the middle of an adventure. Small, intimate groups of participants are sent on a mission, interacting with characters, following maps, and solving clues in an effort to unravel the mysteries of an eccentric chocolatier.
Only those who are clever enough will savor the sweet taste of victory. Can you make it to the end?
WHAT’S IT ABOUT?
