London – 5th February 2025 – Block your calendars, Minecraft Experience has arrived!

For the first time ever in the United Kingdom & Europe, Minecraft fans will have their chance to experience a real-world, immersive, interactive adventure into Minecraft. Experience MOD and Mojang Studios proudly present Minecraft Experience: Villager Rescue, opening on April 4th 2025, at Corner Corner—London’s newest immersive venue in Canada Water. Just a 10-minute journey on the Jubilee line from central London, this exciting experience invites longtime Minecrafters, new players and families of all ages to step into the world of Minecraft and become real-life heroes on an interactive quest like no other.

In this action-packed adventure, visitors will enter seven Minecraft rooms and help rescue the village under siege from a zombie attack. Taking on the role of heroes, they must work to rescue the villagers and gather the essential ingredients to cure them before time runs out. Armed with only your wit and an Orb of Interaction, players will embark on an epic journey through breathtaking biomes in search of the resources needed to craft a life-saving potion. 

Minecraft is the best-selling game of all time with over 300 million copies sold, with players from around the world adventuring and creating together in their Minecraft worlds. Now, with Minecraft Experience: Villager Rescue spawning in London, they can take part in this epic rescue mission and story-based experience where iconic places and mobs from the game are brought to life before their eyes. 

Visitors begin their 45-minute journey by entering the forest. Guided by two unique characters—Tobin and Dayo—they will learn to use the Orb of Interaction, a glowing interactive handheld device which guides the user from room to room. Moving into the village, they will receive their quest and embark on a rescue mission with a team of fellow Minecrafters. On this interactive scavenger hunt, adventurers will journey through multiple Minecraft biomes while collecting resources and interacting with iconic mobs – some more friendly than others. Minecrafters can gush over pandas and dolphins as well as face skeletons, spiders, and – of course – creepers. Once they complete their quest, they can celebrate their heroic feat at the Minecraft Experience Trading Post with a crafty memento from the adventure.

“After a successful debut in Dallas, TX this past autumn, we’re excited to bring our first-ever immersive touring Minecraft Experience to its next stop in London! We are thrilled to offer players and fans new ways to engage with the Minecraft brand starting this April,” says Kayleen Walters, Head of Franchise Development at Mojang Studios. “Finding ways for our community to express their love for Minecraft both in-game and out is always top of mind for us, and we can’t wait for more of our global community to attend the Minecraft Experience.”

Minecraft Experience: Villager Rescue is designed to welcome families, parents, children, players and non-players alike and no prior knowledge of Minecraft is required to enjoy the experience. New players, creators and longtime Minecrafters will love the opportunity to connect and reconnect with the game together in an entirely new and unforgettable way. It is the ultimate fun and nostalgic day out!

“Minecraft Experience is an adventure unlike anything we have ever created. The collaboration between our creative and producing team and the teams at Mojang and Microsoft has created an entirely new form of in-person experience at the crossroads of game design, experiential storytelling, and high-tech multimedia,” says Supply + Demand’s Founder and CEO Olivier Goulet.

The creative and producing team from Supply + Demand is led by Goulet, who is also an executive producer for Minecraft Experience: Villager Rescue. With decades of experience in live entertainment, theatre, live and broadcast productions, and multi-sensory multimedia experiences, they have developed and promoted successful exhibitions for international institutions, brands, and artists including Cirque Du Soleil, Universal Studios, Warner Bros., Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift, Cher, and many more.

On 4th April 2025, Minecraft Experience: Villager Rescue will open its doors and spawn into Corner Corner in London’s Canada Water.
