Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to crack the code!
Someone has gone missing but have they left messages behind? Hidden in books, written on index cards, scribbled on the back of an old photograph; there is a mystery waiting to be solved. Part mystery puzzle, part scavenger hunt, your task is to piece the story together using all the clues you can find, just don’t get caught! Work as a team to rewrite the history books, just be careful which path you choose to go down . . .
The Hidden is an immersive and interactive theatre experience created by Visible Fictions for young people and families. It was first performed at Paisley Central Library (UK) in November 2017. TIFA Kids is proud to present the Canadian premiere of The Hidden during MOTIVE Festival.
