Celebrating the release of 'Alex Cross Must Die' by renowned novelist James Patterson - Alex Cross: The Dead Hours Experience is a pitch-black immersive adventure where fans come face to face with the dark and dangerous underworld of the book.

We'll take audiences on a pitch black descent into the investigations of Alex Cross, as they experience a sensory tribute to the exciting moments from the new novel - the dark, the light, the weird and the wonderful. For the main event, audiences will be seated with specialist headphones in total and complete darkness. The narrative then unfolds around them through a blend of sound, live actor movement and special effects.

Bestselling crime author James Patterson commented: “Alex Cross Must Die sees Alex Cross and Detective John Sampson taken to breaking point as they investigate the grisly Dark Hours murders and try to act fast to prevent further victims. With the launch of Alex Cross: The Dead Hours Experience, I am excited that fans of the series will get the chance to witness the thrills, danger and intrigue which has made the series so popular.”

The experience opened on 19th October in a crypt underneath a church in Bethnal Green, London.
