A site-specific performance that uses innovative AI technology to take you on a unique hour-long journey into someone else’s mind.

SAINT JUDE is the world’s first organisation that allows you to communicate with people trapped in lifelong, irreversible comas.

Using cutting-edge technology, you’ll be able to talk to ‘Sleepers’ – hopeless coma patients lost to the depths of unconsciousness. Saint Jude’s innovative software translates the Sleeper’s brain patterns into speech in a split second, allowing you to communicate with them directly from the coma.

But not everything buried in the dark should be brought to light.

What will you uncover on your first day working at Saint Jude?

This is not an escape room, but since it’s on here I’m happy to review! It’s an audio experience, with some other in-person immersive elements where depending on your choices, you create a path. However the paths I believe always ended up at the same place and in between there were just a few easy pre-determined responses that didn’t change where the story went until the very end at which point there were two different choices. While of course AI is clever, and the fact I can have a conversation at all with one is cool, it just wasn’t good enough to seem realistic and therefore just wasn’t that fun.
