From the creator and performer of the hit virtual production Inside the Box comes an immersive experience of puzzles and cryptology. Following a sold-out New York City run in 2019, renowned magician and New York Times crossword constructor David Kwong brings his popular in-person show to the Geffen Playhouse. Clues are everywhere, so keep your eyes open and be ready for surprises behind every multi-layered illusion.
Theater lobbies and patios open one hour before curtain, and we recommend that you arrive early to solve the four puzzle walls which will be located both inside and outside the building. Please plan to spend 20 to 30 minutes (in total) solving the puzzles before taking your seat inside. While not mandatory to gain entry to the performance, completing the puzzles will enhance your overall experience of the show.
For the health, safety and well-being of our patrons, staff and artists, we are requiring guests to be vaccinated and wear masks. Please read the Geffen Playhouse’s current COVID-19 vaccination policy before purchasing. Learn More
