Sleep No More [Immersive Theatre]

Incredible show. Incredible atmosphere, sets, and vibes. Good dancing/choreography. The story is hard to follow but that’s part of the appeal/point, it’s a dreamlike haze. I understand why some people went to see it dozens of times. There’s a tremendous amount of content. 5/5

It’s amazing so much fun and so different

Not an escape room. There are no puzzles. But this is a very enjoyable experience, just I'm a different way

This is an immersive theater. This was quite frankly amazing and I don't think I saw more than 30-40% of it, and that's purely speculation. There is just so much to see and experience inside. Pick a character to follow, or explore on your own. There's multiple floors, and it's all fascinating to see.

After 14 years, Sleep No More closes on Jan 5, 2025. I gratefully got to visit the McKittrick multiple times over the years, and from the beginning it defined immersive experience. The Shakespeare, the Hitchcock, the Bernard Herrmann score, the witches' rave, the candy shop, the nurses' cots. Sleep No More was a 5 star stay. Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage... And then is heard no more. 🍻

As others have mentioned, this is not an escape room, but an immersive theater/dance experience. I can see why it would be appealing to escape room lovers though in terms of shear immersion! But I’ve been to SLM multiple times over the past decade and love it dearly. Sad to see it’s closing soon!

Complete otherworldly experience! This is not an escape room nor is it a haunt. It is a theatrical performance, but it is much more than a play. The best way I can describe it is if you were an invisible shadow on the set of a live drama. You can walk around the 5 floors of a hotel however you want, as long as you wear a masquerade mask provided to you and are completely silent. You are free to explore, and the environments and rooms are extremely well-decorated with astonishing detail. But if you’re here, you’re not just going to snoop around. You’re here to eavesdrop, watch, and follow actors as they run around, interact together, dance, and silently perform with an invisible audience around them. I love that you can choose to follow people, stay in one room, change who you choose to stalk, or even none of the above or all of it. It’s a true choose-your-own-adventure except it’s not about you. The show gets graphic, psychological, violent, and downright spooky, though it’s not what I’d call a haunted house. But I absorbed every minute, climbing up flights, being a lemming with the crowd as they ran after a performer, and just soaking in the sights and trying to understand the narrative. If you’re lucky, you may even get a special 1:1 experience with the actor, like I did! And wow, if I didn’t already love this immersive theater show before, that sealed the deal! The actors were amazing! Loved them all! Check this out now if you can before it closes for good! It’s worth it as a unique experience not easily found elsewhere!
