So, What is “Tanda Tanya?”
“Tanda Tanya?” (which literally means “Question Mark?” in Bahasa Indonesia) is a theatrical fine dining experience that’s all about making you wonder, feel, taste, and question even yourself, your surroundings, and even your food palate.
Each course is served with a twist and sometimes it’s a riddle, a memory, or a hidden message. There’s acting. There’s movement. There’s music. And there’s a lot of “what’s happening right now?” moments served in the best way possible. The performance will be conducted in Indonesian language with approximately 2 hours length.
They provide two gameplay options for you to take part. First is ‘Interactive Gameplay‘, beyond the theatrical performance, interactive guests will receive clues, connect all the mystery dots, and uncover hidden message, where discovery findings will shape the final decision of the night.
Second is ‘Non-Interactive Gameplay‘, this options still include light engaging and interactive moment without solving the puzzles. All scenes were well-played by the cast of Jaksical, a theatre-lovers community that aims to introduce and become a young innovative platform who has musical theatre interest like Broadway.
