You are about to let loose your inner Lara Croft.
Plans have been unveiled for a new ‘thrill-seeking’ experience in London – Tomb Raider: The Live Experience, which will open on April 1, 2022.
It is not a joke. The multi-million-pound attraction, which is set within Camden’s Stable Market, will invite ‘adventure-seekers’ to accompany Lara Croft ‘on her pursuit to recover a powerful artefact that has fallen into the hands of a dangerous enemy’.

One rendering depicts a giant statue of Lara Croft towering over visitors at the attraction’s entrance. A second drawing depicts a bird’s eye view of all the rooms of the interactive attraction. It includes what appears to be a tropical rainforest, lava pit and snowy Alpine scenes.
The third shows a woman zipping through the forest with an image of an old tomb as background.
In teams of eight, visitors will be given missions to ‘escape a sinking ship, explore the jungles of Costa Rica, discover an ancient tomb, work through environmental puzzles and battle a secret order’.

Live actors and characters from the Tomb Raider film and game franchise will ‘come to life’ in the attraction, which promises to be ‘complete with beautiful scenic worlds’.
A statement reads: ‘Your mission? Save the world.
Based on the popular games and films, Tomb Raider The Live Experience lets friends and families join the action to immerse themselves in Tomb Raider’s world.
‘It’s perfect for those who are looking for action and excitement and will launch visitors on the ride of their lives, joining Lara Croft in a real-life adventure.’

Little Lion Entertainment, a film production company, has joined forces with Crystal Dynamics, a videogame developer, and Square Enix, an entertainment company, to create the attraction. It will cover 30,000 sq ft (2.787 metres).
Tom Lionetti-Maguire, the CEO and founder of Little Lion Entertainment Limited, says: ‘Not only will people be whisked into a fantasy narrative on this journey, but they will find surprises, adventure and wonderment around every trap-laden corner. “Unique” doesn’t even begin to describe how much this legendary explorer’s experience is going to take people’s breath away.
‘We make our guests the stars of the action, and what a wild time they are in for here.’
