Visitations – The New Mission Business Project

In Experimental

Visitations is the new project from The Mission Business, the people who brought us ZED.TO. It’s an interactive supernatural adventure that will run at the Drake Hotel at the end of April.

This looks like it’ll be another hit!

When Lucy discovers an ancient artifact in her parents’ attic, she can’t imagine what it’s for.

And when it starts speaking to her in her dreams, she can’t imagine how.

But now it has given her a list of names…
And YOURS is on it.

Help Lucy solve the secret of the Sabbaticus and unravel the mystery behind her infamous great-grandfather Charles Hoy Fort, founder of the controversial science of Anomalistics.
