Beyond Flyering: The Fringe show that's a scavenger hunt
As part of a promotion for new contemporary Chinese musical The Aquatic Melody, a Tarot-themed scavenger hunt will taking place Edinburgh’s Royal Mile this week
The interactive game starts outside the Fringe Shop at 4pm on 21–23 August, before the show itself at 9.40pm theSpace @ Surgeon’s Hall. Players must track down performers dressed as mysterious characters, complete short challenges and collect three Tarot cards. The game ends with a showdown against the Fool, who holds the key to prizes and bragging rights.
The show, created by company Gold and Jade Stages, mixes East Asian pop, Latin beats and street dance in a fantastical tale of a mermaid searching for love against the pull of fate, decided by the turn of ten Tarot cards.
