Don’t worry if you’re not brave enough to face this fearful frightmare because there are TWO ways to partici
pate: play and spectate. Players join a team of 5 and take on the playful, sadistic host; The Necrotic Narrator. Spectators become cowardly voyeurs watching the struggle of their comrades among the living. This exciting, groundbreaking democratic horror show stitches together theatre and livestream gaming. Made exclusively for livestream allowing you to enjoy the show from wherever you are. Welcome to the only place as cruel and unfair as your life.
There was a lot of laughter in The Archive with this team - too much for my liking.
Of course I still got to watch them lose like the imbeciles they are.

Despite a spectacular (and surprising to them) loss, The Boys gave us a great laugh as they attempted to defeat the Necrotic Narrator in Don't Play With Dead Things.
From asking for consent and putting Harry Potter books in the bin to calling out Ye, they lost themselves in the spirit of the game and we love them for it.

Why would anyone ask an actor to do this!??!
Hey Jeremy here to answer a few FAQs about Don't Play With Dead Things.
1) DO I NEED SPECIAL EQUIPMENT TO PLAY? - No. The game is played on a custom platform similar to Zoom. If you have used Zoom at all during the last few years you already have all you need. We need to be able to see you and hear you so if your device has a camera and microphone you're all set. We'll send you a link before your booked slot and all you have to do is click it to open it in your web browser. We handle everything else.
2) COOL BUT HOW DO I ACTUALLY PLAY? - The game is about group decisions so you'll play by talking to the other players. Sometimes you'll be asked to arrive at consensus to make a choice but for the majority of the game you'll be giving verbal commands to an actor playing the character of Husk. They'll do whatever you ask them to.
3) GREAT BUT WHAT'S THE FU***NG POINT? - The goal of Don't Play With Dead Things is purposefully obscured. Figuring out the goal is one of the primary challenges you'll face.
4) I DON'T LIKE HORROR - OK, this isn't really a question but I hear you. Don't Play With Dead Things is a comedy horror so the focus is on being fun and entertaining, not necessarily harrowing or upsetting. There's a list of trigger warnings avaliable as well. It's a fun, funny horror experience and shouldn't cause any lingering distress or nightmares.
5) SWEET I LOVE FUN AND HORROR HOW CAN I MAXIMISE THAT? - I totally encourage setting your own atmosphere. Maybe some headphones so you can enjoy the immersive soundtrack, perhaps a little privacy so you won't be interuppted and maybe even some dimmed lights to create the perfect atmosfear at home. Not a full blackout though, it's great if we, and people watching, can see your face!
6)CAN TWO PEOPLE SHARE A SCREEN? - No we require each player to log on through a unique device. One player per screen, this helps manage the experience. Sorry.
7)I'M IN! WHERE DO I GET TICKETS? - https://www.chapter.org/whats-on/performance/dont-play-with-dead-things/8494
Don't worry there's plenty of room and and a warm welcome waiting for you in The Archive. There you will remain. Just another Dead Thing.
Come see what other useless, discarded things await in Don't Play With Dead Things, deadstreaming next week!
Tickets are now live for Don't Play With Dead Things. My game runs from the 28th of October to the 6th of November. Many of you felt chilled to the depths of your soul when player tickets sold out last time. Don't go to your grave with yet another regret. Come and take me on. Show me what humanity's made of.
An online comedy-horror experience like no other. 6 ordinary people enter the world of the Necrotic Narrator. PLAY as 1 of the 6 or WATCH. Can they win?
Those who’ve met me know I'm not fair, I don't care and most of all I don't even like you. So you can tell your life is really in the sh***er when I offer you a break.
Check out the action in my Archive of Dead Things via despicable deadstreams on Twitch : https://www.twitch.tv/dpwdt FREE, but there’s always a price….

Greetings deadlings, your beloved Necrotic Narrator has once again decided to open the Archive of Dead things to idiot mortals who think they’re smart enough - you keep coming in to drag things out of there anyway!
Hit follow to pretend you're not afraid of me.
Greetings Deadlings, it's your old pal Necrotic Narrator here with a whole host of links here, each more damning than the chains of regret that bind you in death.
1st JOBS https://www.jeremylinnell.com/jobs - Come join my shambling horde and help spread my terror tales.
2nd: Tell me what you thought about the marketing https://forms.gle/6twGqNYFtyX6jgtZ8 - Not that I care what you think
3rd: Tell me what you thought about the show: https://forms.gle/e4ejejH8QWftpsVC9 - I mean I know it's brilliant but flatter me further, mortal.
They're all anonymous so be brave. What's the worst that could happen?
An important message from your beloved Necrotic Narrator.
ONLY 3 SHOWS LEFT
Will any of humanity's representivies manage to win against me? Or will you all go down as a bunch of LOSERS?
PLAY or WATCH from home, anywhere in the world and find out.
An eldritch god-demon named Eunice stalks the land and even an all powerful Necrotic Narrator knows when not to f**k around with dark forces.
TONIGHT'S SHOWS ARE CANCELLED.
If you have tickets you will be contacted on how we are handling this for viewers and players.
We will ALSO be sharing a recording of last night's show to watch from home in case you're really missing out on some pleasant screams.
Oh and Eunice? F**k off, yeah? There's only room for one destructive force on this plane of reality and that's me.
Had a wonderful review from ScareTOUR based on their experience trying to beat me last night. They lost, naturally, but knew the consequences for anything less than the utmost glowing praise.
Player tickets sold out fast but.....
DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND WE ARE DOING EXTRA SHOWS AT 5:30 ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
So if you watched and wished you'd bought a player ticket now's your chance. Head to www.chapter.org and grab one because once they're gone they're gone.
Don't Play With Dead Things is a new online escape room experience that mixes dark humour, gore and lashings of bad taste!
Player previews have finished and at current standing your odds of beating me are 50%. Far too generous in my opinion. Perhaps that sets a glimmer of hope alight in your chest. Fine. I will enjoy extinguishing it. Come face me next week in
DON'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS
Although I'm completely unsurprised by the praise here's what our players said, in case you're a brain dead cretin who needs others to make decisions for them.
"Funny f**ked-up and fun"
"Gloriously gruesome"
"If you think you're ready for it, think again"
A “brilliant creation”
"Jigsaws wet dream"
“I bloody loved it! Totally my bag.”
"Disgusting and gruesome. Just the way I like it."
So come see what they're gushing about and get your tickets at

Remember you can PLAY or WATCH from home, anywhere in the world. It's all online so I can find you, wherever you are.

Necrotic Narrator
We had the first batch of LIVING FAILURES experience Don't Play With Dead Things yesterday and, for once in their lives, they didn't disappoint.

Less than one hour until my unholy return to your screens. Be there at 7pm on Sofa Share Wales
Deadlings don't forget we're back at 7pm tonight on Sofa Share Wales where they're celebrating one year of being entombed. See you then for another bout of live democratic horror.
Greetings Deadlings it's a big week here in my mouldy mausoleum. We're playtesting the NEXT GEN of Don't Play With Dead Things THIS Friday afternoon, which you can get involved with by emailing [email protected]. Limited spaces so act fast, I can only kill so many of you at once.
Secondly you all clearly have given up the will to live as due to popular demand a revival episode is taking place THIS WEEKEND on Sofa Share Wales . And I can assure you any sort of revival is f**king risky when I'm involved.
