In one version of your October... you stayed home. In the other?
You were dancing with the undead, solving murders in velvet-lit rooms, sipping cocktails beside a glitching arcade machine.
You choose which timeline you wake up in.

There’s still time to cross over. Tickets live now.

While you’re scrolling…
Someone’s slipping into their costume.
Someone’s stepping into a fog-lit nightclub.
Someone just entered the murder lounge and asked the wrong question.
They’re at Arcadia.
Why aren’t you?

The taste of your first cocktail.
The cold fog sweeping the dancefloor.
The feeling when the murder mystery twists and you realise… the killer might be you.
Arcadia is more than a party.
It’s a full-body possession.
Get your ticket before they vanish.

Picture it: You and the gang.
Spooky games. Haunted beats.
A private bowling alley in the VIP lounge.

Now picture everyone going… and you staying home.
Tag your crew.
Make a pact.
Book the night.
