Dungeons & Dragons The Twenty-Sided Tavern (D&DTST) offers a theatrically interactive experience where audience members have the opportunity to both watch and participate in an expansive 'Dungeons & Dragons' campaign.
Attendees are "assigned characters, such as a Mage, Warrior, or Trickster," and are actively involved in making decisions on behalf of their characters. Using their phones, participants "respond to various prompts via Gamiotics" and engage in games to progress the storyline, with dice rolls visible under a camera.
On stage, actors utilize their improvisational skills, character cards, and extensive knowledge of Dungeons & Dragons to enact each choice made by the audience. With over 30 playable characters and a multitude of locations to explore, the show offers a diverse and engaging experience. Each performance is unique and immserive, allowing audience members to follow the tour and enjoy a new adventure that brings the circumstances of the board game to life.
