“You’re the astronaut in a real-life arcade. Interact with performers, earn adult prizes, explore a digital gallery, & grow a live ecosystem.”
You’re invited to Growing Takes Time, a one-night event blending performance, play, and digital art. Set in an arcade-like world, this immersive experience puts you at the center of the action — whether you choose to watch or play.
On arrival, you’ll step into a space where missions unfold in real-time and your choices shape what happens next. As a participant, you’ll guide PikMii performers (inspired by Pikmin), complete challenges, and unlock a series of rewards — from small collectibles to infused drinks at the open bar. Every win helps a flower bloom. Every bloom brings you closer to the heart of this world.
“You don’t just witness the world — you grow it.”
The event also features a preview of a digital art exhibition in collaboration with ARCHIV3, showing visual works tied to the Growing Takes Time universe. Art will be available for viewing and purchase.
After the performance, stay for the post-show party and networking jam — a chance to connect, unwind, and see the world you just played in shift into a new phase.
“Bloom a flower. Earn a prize. Come back and level up.”
Entry is free for spectators who want to explore the gallery, watch the show, and join the afterparty. Participant Passes are $30, including gameplay, prize rewards, and an open bar. RSVP is required for entry.
What to expect:
A one-hour immersive arcade performance
