Step into the Unknown at the Q LIMINAL Event

As anticipation builds for the release of the horror film The Backrooms produced by A24, an exhilarating space experience event, Q LIMINAL, is set to take place in Ikebukuro, Tokyo from September 11 to September 20, 2026. This limited-time event promises an immersive encounter, allowing attendees to navigate a space inspired by the internet-derived urban legend known as The Backrooms.

What Awaits You: The Q LIMINAL Experience

Upon entering the venue, guests will be greeted by the faint buzzing sounds of fluorescent lights and extensive, stark walls that extend into the abyss. These seemingly mundane surroundings will be peppered with countless QR codes, beckoning visitors to embark on a journey through this chilling, modular reality. The Q LIMINAL event draws upon the eerie essence of “liminal spaces,” described as places that feel both familiar and alien, where everyday settings become hauntingly devoid of life.

Participants will have the chance to explore and unravel the mystery of an unsettling space where reality bends and shifts. The primary objective? Decipher the meaning behind the numerous QR codes scattered throughout the area. Not all codes hold secrets, and only with the correct scans via a dedicated app can individuals increase their “exploration rate.” Intriguingly, guidance comes solely from obscure symbols and shapes, devoid of any words—encouraging unique interpretations from each participant. This interactive venture promises to vary drastically from person to person, enhancing the suspense and engagement of the experience.

The Q LIMINAL event will run for ten days, starting from September 11, 2026. Visitors can partake in this haunting experience from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with the last entry at 5:30 PM.
