Black Mirror VR Experience to Open in Montreal in May

The project signals Banijay’s push to turn hit TV franchises into in-person VR attractions.

Overview

  • Banijay announced Tuesday it will open The Black Mirror Experience in May at Infinity Experiences in Montreal.
  • Produced by Banijay Live Studio with VR firm Univrse, the attraction is the unit’s first public rollout, with story and device plans beyond the venue still undisclosed.
  • The 60-minute session blends physical sets with VR for one to six players ages 12 and up, with English, French, and Spanish options at the site.
  • Guests enter Phaethon’s showroom for the unveiling of LifeAgent, an AI robot, and then face outcomes shaped by their choices in a new Black Mirror narrative.
  • Ticketing is staged with a waitlist before presales and general sales, and organizers plan to add more locations after the Montreal launch.
