Come gamble for the fate of the planet… from the comfort of your own home. Explore the climate crisis, self isolation and gamble with the planet’s future.
This award-winning interactive theatre experience invites you to play what seems to be a simple game of blackjack in the casino called “The House”. However, there’s a catch. Whilst trying to pit your luck against the dealer, you also must keep The House alive.
Interacting through game play on Zoom, and with WhatsApp pinging you visual messages, surveys and puzzles, can you work together to keep The House afloat, or will the lure of a real cash prize be too much to resist?
The House Never Wins is a fun, engaging and thought-provoking evening which reminds us of the importance of working together to keep our planet alive

‘[one of] a few companies [who] make strong cases for theater in its digital form…A game, an allegory, a screed and an exercise in behavioural economics… your group may ultimately play for a cash prize, but ours managed to destroy the casino (the planet?) well before the final round’
New York Times
