Minecraft Experience: Villager Rescue will be hosted at Green Canvas in Mandai Wildlife Reserve from 24 April to 13 September 2026, marking its debut in Asia.
After successful events in Dallas, London, and Toronto, the immersive and interactive experience invites visitors of all ages to journey through eight rooms to save a village from a zombie siege.
Whether families, seasoned Minecrafters, or first-time players, everyone will explore, craft, and work together in this one-hour story-driven adventure filled with action, creativity, and teamwork.
Minecraft Experience: Villager Rescue brings an engaging indoor adventure to the Mandai Wildlife Reserve, allowing visitors to enjoy wildlife exploration, immersive play, and family entertainment in a single visit.
Immersive, interactive experience
Minecraft Experience: Villager Rescue combines immersive large-scale projections, theatrical sets, motion-tracking gameplay, and storytelling.
Visitors enter the Minecraft Forest, explore recognisable biomes, gather resources, and interact with iconic Minecraft mobs. Each participant receives a unique “Orb of Interaction” to influence their environment and affect the outcome of their adventure.
