Minecraft Experience: Villager Rescue

Minecraft Experience: Villager Rescue is an in-person interactive event run by Experience Mod and Supply+Demand, in conjunction with Mojang Studios. This event has participants in groups of up to 25 go through a mission and scavenger hunt through multiple Minecraft biomes and dimensions to rescue villagers. The first event took place in Dallas, Texas, from October 18, 2024, to January 20, 2025. Additional events have occurred in Toronto, London, Riyadh, Denmark, Mexico, Singapore, Chicago, and Germany, with two events planned for Qatar and Austria. Additional locations are planned across the Americas, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.[1][2] It was announced on May 29, 2024, the final day of the 15 Days of Minecraft.[3] This was the first adventure for the Minecraft Experience.

The event is an hour-long, interactive, in-person adventure where participants in groups of up to 25 go through a mission and scavenger hunt through multiple Minecraft biomes and dimensions to rescue villagers. Mobs such as skeletons and creepers can be encountered, ore can be mined, and ingredients can be foraged.[1] Guests must cure as many villagers as possible using the ingredients they collect through their 9 room adventure.[4] The world is created using displays in tall projection walls and floors which can be interacted with using orbs of interaction and motion detection.[5] People will be exploring each room for six minutes, with the exception for the forest which could be up to twelve minutes depending on the attendance level.

At the Dallas and Toronto locations, every Wednesday and/or Thursday (Thursdays only at the Chicago location[6]) after 7 PM was considered an "adult night", allowing only guests aged 18 and older. The event served several Minecraft-themed mocktails and held different "side quests".[7]
