A SURREAL TRAP. A BEATING HEART. 60 MINUTES TO ESCAPE.
Love is a puzzle. This Valentine’s weekend, step inside the sculpture and see if you can find your way out.
THE STORY
"Love is a trap. Literally."
Forget candlelight and roses. This Valentine’s, Alchemy Theatre invites you into a dreamscape. Jar of Hearts is a unique, immersive art installation with a difference: it’s an escape room.
We have constructed a massive, surreal sculpture—a "Jar of Hearts"—and for one day only, we are locking you inside it.
The laws of logic are twisted, the aesthetic is dreamlike, and the only way out is to work together. Whether you are a couple, a group of friends, or a situationship, align your hearts and minds to break free of the twisted art.
THE EXPERIENCE
A Surrealist Challenge.
Unlike traditional escape rooms, this experience takes place inside a single, purpose-built structure. The environment is tactile, weird, and wonderful.
• The Sculpture: You will be physically enclosed within the "Jar." The walls hold secrets, and the art itself is the puzzle.
• The Abstract: Logic won't always help you here. You will need to think laterally. Decipher abstract symbols, manipulate the environment, and tune into the rhythm of the room.
• The Bond: Communication is key. This is the ultimate compatibility test. Can you keep your cool when the clock is ticking?
NEED TO KNOW
• Is this a Horror event? No. There are no jump scares, zombies, or gore. The vibe is "Surreal Fantasy." Think Alice in Wonderland or a Salvador Dalí painting come to life. It is mysterious and challenging, but not scary.
• Who is this for? Couples, best friends, and puzzle lovers. It is a perfect alternative Valentine's date for those who want an adventure rather than just a dinner.
• Team Size: Suitable for teams of 2 to 4 players.
"The clock is ticking. The heart is beating."
