Acquiring tickets
The location of the house is a secret. Players will have to meet up with the team at 11:30am at the closed Dray Walk Gallery on Brick Lane in Tower Hamlets (postcode: E1 6QL) to acquire tickets. Though the event is free, tickets are required and will be handed out at a first-come-first-serve basis to anyone over 18, and there will at most be 28 groups of two players - 56 players in all. Anyone who is the 57th or further in the queue will fail to gain tickets and will have to try again the next day.

Attending the event
Players who receive tickets will be randomly allocated a timeslot between 1pm and 9:50pm to take part in the experience. Players are free to stay at the gallery and play a new demo of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard while they wait their turn. Those who leave the gallery are required to return to the gallery 30 minutes before the time on their ticket (e.g. the 9:50 ticket requires players to be present at 9:20), allowing for the player to receive the proper information on how to play the game. Players who fail to present their ID will lose their tickets and be allocated to another team at the gallery.

Playing the game
In the actual game the two players are part of the 'Sewer Gator' team, and have 45 minutes to solve a number of puzzles in order to explain the mystery. Actors, possibly playing the Baker family, will occasionally make surprise appearances.
