The Black Mirror Experience in Montreal is an immersive virtual reality adventure inspired by the famous science fiction series. Presented by Expériences Infinity at the Old Port of Montreal, at 2, rue de la Commune Ouest, it opened its doors on May 21, 2026, in a world premiere. Note: the experience ends on September 27, 2026, according to the official site and ticketing. If you want to experience the world of Black Mirror from the inside, now is the time to book your ticket. Here's everything you need to know before you go.
What is the Black Mirror Experience?
The Black Mirror Experience is an immersive adventure in virtual reality where the physical world and virtual reality meet. In a group, you move through a real set while wearing a VR headset. You can touch objects, interact with the environment, and make choices that influence the course of the story.
The goal, according to Expériences Infinity: to make you feel like you're inside an episode of Black Mirror. You're not just a spectator. Your decisions matter, and the lines between fiction and reality become increasingly blurred. For Black Mirror fans, it's a unique way to experience the series beyond the screen.
The Story of the Black Mirror Experience: Welcome to Phaethon
The scenario of the Black Mirror Experience is original: it doesn't reprise a specific episode of the series but is inspired by its universe. You enter the laboratories of Phaethon, a technology multinational presenting its new artificial intelligence, AgentDeVie (LifeAgent in English). This AI is designed to simplify your life... until it takes an unexpected turn.
Before starting, the experience collects some data, like a photo and a sample of your voice. These are used to personalize certain challenges. It's all in the spirit of Black Mirror: technology that seems reassuring at first, but eventually raises troubling questions about the relationship between humanity and its creations. Without giving anything away, know that the story holds some twists.
Banijay Live Studio and Expériences Infinity: Who's Behind This Immersive Experience?
The Black Mirror Experience was produced by Banijay Live Studio, which holds the rights to the series, with the Spanish studio Univrse for mixed reality technology. It is presented in Montreal by Expériences Infinity, a Quebec joint venture of PHI Studio and Felix & Paul Studios, known for its virtual reality experiences in the Old Port. The experience also won an award at the Cannes Immersive festival.
Montreal is the first city in the world to host this public experience, before a planned rollout elsewhere globally. For Banijay Live Studio, the Old Port of Montreal serves as an international showcase.
