Sign up to play your part in Portrush’s exciting new digital theatre experience

Incognito - an exciting merger of digital technology, live theatre and storytelling is coming to Portrush from March 17th -19th and we need you to take part!

The fragmented reality experience, a Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council event in association with Big Telly Theatre Company and funded by Tourism NI, promises to create a day out to the seaside resort that you will never forget.

Using your smartphone to access game content via an app, you’ll become part of a network of elite agents working under the radar, engaged in a top-secret mission. You’ll move quickly and quietly from location to location, meeting strangers, unravelling stories and solving mysteries. Combining a ground-breaking mix of live actors and technology, this is a theatre experience on the move played by a number of teams simultaneously, working together to thwart a threat and avert disaster.

Your mission is to take part in this covert operation against a target who uses a number of aliases including a stage hypnotist to manipulate memories and minds. Are you ready?

The Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council Councillor Richard Holmes said: “Incognito will take participants on an exciting, interactive adventure around Portrush, and it’s an innovative way of drawing people back to the town as it continues to recover from the impact of pandemic. The layout of the resort lends itself perfectly to this type of activity and this project is another example of how Council is seeking new ways to support our towns and assist with their ongoing recovery.

“I would like to thank The Big Telly Theatre Company for bringing this concept to life, and I hope lots of you will get together with your family and friends to see if you have what it takes to complete the Incognito mission.”

Incognito will take place in Portrush on March 17th, 18th , and 19th at 2.30pm. It is free to play and will take around 90 minutes to complete. All you need is a smartphone to download the App and game content.
