Something went wrong on Halloween night, OCT 31 2024

When Frank the Rabbit appeared at Donnie Darko's sold-out house party in London UK, without warning, time fractured. A tangent universe – an unstable copy of our reality – quietly formed. Since then, strange portals have been reported to be opening in cities around the world. Each portal triggers a countdown – "28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, and 12 seconds. That is when the world will end".

When it ends, a version of Donnie’s house reappears, and with it, a party trapped inside a timeline that shouldn't exist. Step inside and enter something unexplainable. A high-energy Halloween experience where time bends, reality breaks, and nothing makes sense. As midnight nears, things unravel. Will Frank return? Will Donnie set things right? Or have we been in the wrong universe all along?

In 2025, new portals are predicted to open in Tokyo , Osaka, Shanghai, Seoul, Bangkok, Berlin, Prague, Amsterdam , Belgium, Athens, Iceland, Paris, New York and Los Angeles.
