Press Start on an Adventure with Extra Lives

What if your next video game adventure didn’t happen on a screen—but in a room full of people, with live music, lights, sound effects, and your imagination leading the way?

Get ready for Extra Lives, the world’s first audience role-playing concert, coming to the Laramie County Library on Saturday, August 1!

This isn’t your typical concert, and it’s definitely not your typical game. Throughout the evening, the audience becomes the main character in a fully narrated choose-your-own-adventure story. Together, you’ll make decisions that shape the story while live musicians bring the action to life with an original score inspired by the classic console games of the ’80s, ’90s, and 2000s.

Whether you grew up blowing into game cartridges, racing through pixelated worlds, or you’ve never picked up a controller, Extra Lives blends storytelling, nostalgia, comedy, and live music to create an experience unlike anything you’ve seen at the library before

Make It a Full Night Out

The fun starts before the concert begins!

Doors open at 5:00 p.m. for a pizza party and mocktail hour. Grab a slice, enjoy a themed drink, and connect with fellow adventurers before the story begins.

Then, at 6:00 p.m., the lights dim and the adventure begins.

No Gaming Experience Required

You don’t have to be a gamer to enjoy Extra Lives. If you love live music, interactive theater, creative storytelling, or simply trying something new, you’ll feel right at home. Throughout the performance, the audience works together to make choices that shape the story, making every show a little different.

Bring your friends, bring your family, or come solo. However you join us, be ready to laugh, cheer, and help decide what happens next.

Whether you’re reliving your favorite gaming memories or discovering this style of interactive performance for the first time, Extra Lives is a chance to experience something unexpected at your library.
