The Black Mirror Experience will debut in the U.S. at The Shed on June 20 and run through September 6. The limited-engagement immersive attraction places visitors inside an original narrative set in the Black Mirror universe, featuring artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and a growing sense that something has gone wrong. The experience is not a recreation of a specific episode. Guests attend the grand opening of a showroom for Phaethon, a technology company unveiling LifeAgent, a humanoid robot designed to streamline life, anticipate needs, and help people become their best selves. The 60-minute format combines physical sets with free-roaming virtual reality for groups of up to six participants moving through the story together. No prior knowledge is required, though fans will recognize the mix of technological optimism and existential dread.

"The 60-minute experience combines physical sets with free-roaming virtual reality technology, allowing groups of up to six participants to move through the story together as its central characters. No prior knowledge of Black Mirror is required, though longtime fans will recognize the show's signature blend of technological optimism and existential dread. (Again, separate from our current reality.)"
"According to producers, the attraction was developed by Banijay Live Studio in partnership with immersive technology company Univrse, whose previous projects have pushed the boundaries between live entertainment and virtual worlds. The goal, they say, is to move beyond traditional VR experiences that simply transport audiences somewhere else. "With The Black Mirror Experience, you're"
