It’s not unfair to assume that nearly everyone on Earth has heard of, played or seen Minecraft before. It’s the best-selling video game of all time, with more than 400-million copies sold (those figures are wild – the equivalent to everyone in Australia having bought it 14 times over). Now, the game’s real-world immersive spin-off, Minecraft Experience: Villager Rescue, is finally breaking blocks here in Australia – opening at Luna Park Sydney just in time for summer.
In this 1-hour scavenger hunt experience, you’ll spawn in the forest to nail the basics, then embark on a heroic quest to save kidnapped villagers with fellow crafters of all ages. On your mission, you’ll traverse exotic biomes, build structures and come face to face with mobs both friendly and hostile – including pandas, dolphins, skeletons, spiders and the most famous of all: the creeper.
Once you’ve completed your quest, you’ll get to bask in heroic glory and take home a crafty keepsake to remember your time in the Overworld. More than a million crafters have completed the experience worldwide, but nothing like this purpose-built adventure has ever really come to Australia until now.
It’s touching down just in time for the Christmas holidays, and it’s perfect for people of all ages – you’ll love it if you’re a Minecraft fan, though no in-game experience is required.
Minecraft Experience: Villager Rescue presented by Jaecoo is coming to Luna Park from December 18, 2026 to April 25, 2027. Tickets are on sale now and start at $49, get yours here.
