YOU portray beloved characters like Cinderella, Snow White, and Hansel and Gretel and determine their fate. Choose one of our ONE-HUNDRED beloved characters, and let your fairy tale adventure unfold. The choice is yours!
Real Royalty isn't just a show. Immerse yourself in classic tales filled with magic, adventure, and moral gray areas. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll be on the edge of your seat as the stories unfold around you. Capture the magic with stunning photographs and share your epic tales with friends and family.
Connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion for storytelling and adventure. Our community is welcoming and inclusive, ensuring you feel right at home from day one.
Our immersive theater show is designed to be accessible and enjoyable for everyone, whether you're a theater enthusiast or attending your first live performance. Regardless of skin color, gender, body type, ethnicity, and/or age* - we've built a world for all. In fact, we highly encourage non-traditional takes on these stories. *(Due to alcohol at the event, attendees must be 21+ years of age.)
Ten twisted fairy-tale kingdoms, one mysterious Princess, and one spot to be her new best friend. Only the most cunning, creative, and ruthless kingdom shall win. You are invited to Princess Generica's castle, where you will spend the weekend building strategies and plotting against your rivals to win the princess' favor.
Do you have what it takes to be the next Real Royalty? For three days you'll leave behind life and take part in this immersive theatrical experience within a dark fairy tale setting. You will be transformed into a character where there is no script, and all the decisions are in your hands. You will join a colorful cast of characters to take part in a sadistic gauntlet to determine who will be Princess Generica's new confidant.
Will you triumph over the other participants to win the day, or will you play the kingmaker?
Tickets include access to the event only, and will not include food, drink, or lodging. We felt that this will help reduce overall ticket cost due to the minimums required by the venue.
We strive to make our game environment a safe and inclusive space for ALL our players by crafting inclusive plots for all representations, making sure our hosting venue is comfortable for all, and employing clear and accommodating mechanics. The only caveat we have made for this event is our age participation which is restricted to 21 and above due to many mature themes explored in the game, and alcohol being served on site. If you have any concerns prior to the event or during the event, please bring them to our attention.
Our events are a safe place for everyone. No discrimination or harassment of any kind will be tolerated at our events. Each person is responsible for their own actions and will be held accountable for them. Immersive experiences such as Real Royalty often encourage participants to engage in role-playing and portray characters who are sometimes in a conflict or in a romantic relationship with one another. To ensure this is done in a safe and welcoming manner, we employ the mechanics of consent and absolutely prohibit any bullying behavior directed at other players. We will cover these simple mechanics in our game materials to ensure everyone is clear on the rules and has an opportunity to ask questions. We have a zero-tolerance bullying policy and violators will be asked to leave the experience and will be banned from all future events.
Yes, this is an immersive event. Attendees are expected to come in costume.
We will be observing any guidelines presented by the World Health Organization (WHO), and will be announcing them closer to the event (as things tend to change).
Due to the sheer size of the event, we are simplifying the casting process, and will revealing a majority of the cast list in advance. Players will be able to view blurbs on each of the characters and select their top 3-5 characters in their player survey.
Typically, most attendees will arrive the day before (Friday, Feb. 16th, 2024). Hotel rooms in our block will be available at a discounted rate at that time.
