Ambushed and left for dead in deep space, the audience, collectively armed with 100 laser-pointers, must interact with the on-screen action to build a ship, confront their nemesis and to finally survive the perilous journey home, in the world’s first theatrical co-op gaming narrative experience. A breakthrough in big-screen interaction, Renga turns massively-multi-player on its head, challenging the crowd to collaborate, form teams and share controllers in this heart-racing mash-up where arcade game-play meets feature-length cinematic adventure.
