Cabal combines intimate acting with an immersive environment and enormous, hands-on puzzles for the audience to solve. Because of the interactive nature of the show, each audience is limited to just 10 people. In Cabal, the audience become Initiates to a magical secret society. When something suddenly goes awry, they must join the action, completing unique puzzles to help solve the mystery. Part play, part escape room, Cabal is structured like a video game, alternating playable moments with actor-driven story sequences.
Cabal is the third play with puzzles from Walking Shadow, following the sold-out 1926 Pleasant at the 2006 Fringe Festival and the immensely popular Saboteur in 2011. Puzzles from previous productions (which predated formal escape rooms) included a 3D jigsaw puzzle with 2-foot pieces, a laser maze, a giant tilt maze, and a room full of bones and eggs. Cabal’s original puzzles are tailored to the story’s world of magic, and are designed to be fun rather than fiendish!
