Tomb Raider Experience Seattle
Daring adventurers will help Lara Croft protect a powerful artifact in an ancient volcanic temple while being hunted by the sinister Natla Technologies. But participants in this 90+ minute experience will find themselves contending with something even more daunting than evil scientists—the fiery Cherufe. The Cherufe is a legendary creature of folklore from the indigenous Mapuche people of Chile, dwelling in the magma pools of volcanoes and causing eruptions… unless appeased with a sacrifice.
Hourglass Attractions is proud to partner with Crystal Dynamics to pull the iconic TOMB RAIDER franchise out of video game consoles and into Seattle's downtown waterfront. With the new waterfront redevelopment project fully underway and slated for completion in early 2025, this new TOMB RAIDER experience will be one of many exciting destinations for visitors and locals alike to enjoy along the new pedestrian-friendly "front porch of our city."
Attendees of PAX West 2024 (Aug 30 – Sept 2) will have the opportunity to purchase presale tickets for the upcoming attraction. Every presale ticket purchase will include exclusive, limited-edition merchandise only available at PAX. There will also be photo opportunities with an official Lara Croft cosplay ambassador (@phia.cos on Instagram), giveaways of premium collectibles from Dark Horse Direct and Evercade, behind the scenes peeks, and more. The booth will be located on Level 4 of the Arch Building in the Atrium Lobby, near the Grand Staircase (Area S3).
