Hexmoor: Wizarding Prison

Inventive Productions – the masterminds behind London’s best immersive cocktail experiences, Alcotraz, Avora, and Moonshine Saloon – opened the iron gates to Hexmoor, their newest immersive cocktail adventure last Autumn.
Hexmoor is a hidden wizard prison where the magical world’s most notorious criminals go: those who have practiced dark magic.

The venue is well hidden within Alcotraz, so ‘inmates’ (that’s you) have to tell the security guy that they are here for the Hexmoor experience.
Your experience starts before even getting to the venue. Following your booking, an email will be sent with a form to be filled in. In that form you can choose what ‘crime’ you have committed as a wizard that resulted your imprisonment at Hexmoor. That will help you interact and communicate with the actors and fellow inmates during the experience.

After a brief health and safety guide, you’ll be escorted to the underground prison where each group gets their own prison cell.
In your cell, you’ll don your green and white striped Hexmoor jumpsuit and your real experience starts immediately.
Unlike other Inventive Production experience, here you don’t have to bring your own liquor. Instead, each inmate gets the same cocktail or mocktail (a host will ask you if you wish to drink cocktails or mocktails).
Three Magical Cocktails

During the experience three magical cocktails will be served that – according to the plot – weaken your magical abilities as a prisoner.
The first drink is served in a modest brown vessel, garnished with dried flowers, while the second is made in front of your eyes by a hexologist.
This cocktail changes colour with every ingredient added and prepared on a glowing stand, so you can take amazing photos and videos.

The third is a beautiful glow-in-the-dark cocktail (the cocktail glows in bright green while the mocktail version glows in blue). That truly adds to the whole experience.
Immersive Storyline, Wizard Battles and Film-Like Sets

The 1hr 45min experience is a carefully choreographed immersive theatre where everyone has the chance to interact with the actors and take active part in the storyline.
You will experience film-like sets that typically only seen in Hollywood films, like Harry Potter. That and the brilliant actors will guarantee to immediately bring you into the magical world of Hexmoor. At the end you might not even want to leave your prison cell.

During the experience, inmates meet a powerful sorceress, Cordelia Constance-Xanthe the Head of Hexmoor, visit a hidden wand shop, called Willbott’s Wand Shop that can only be reached through a magical fireplace.
According to the storyline, an evil wizard, the Hollow King is about to return that only the ‘chosen one’ can defeat with the mysterious Cardinal Wand. The problem is, nobody knows who the ‘chosen one’ is, where the Cardinal Wand is and there is a suspicion that someone from Hexmoor is secretly serving the Hollow King.
Your task is to try to figure out who the secret servant is and who the ‘chosen one’ is.
You will be brought to a secret chamber where you can discuss your theory before your final cocktail served and the peak of the story unfolds with intense wizard battles and huge surprises.
Make sure you have you camera ready because there will be lots of intense battles, smoke, light, sound effects and pyrotechnics.
