Starting September 19, Art Box Metaverse-the first immersive multi-user VR entertainment space in Poland-invites visitors to “Dracula’s Hotel”, an interactive adventure full of surprises. The role of host is played by a legend of Polish cinema, Daniel Olbrychski.
Art Box Metaverse offers pure entertainment in which visitors become part of a digital world. It is a completely new dimension of fun, allowing audiences to enter a 4D digital reality where participants can interact with their surroundings in real time.
“Art Box Metaverse is our response to the growing expectations of audiences seeking truly immersive entertainment. In our new space, we invite guests to explore interactive virtual worlds together through VR headsets-worlds in which you don’t just observe events, but become part of them. The combination of cutting-edge technology, spectacular effects, and engaging storytelling makes every experience a total immersion into an alternative reality-from the very first seconds to the finale. A regularly changing program ensures that every visit is a new, unique adventure. This is not an ordinary screening-it’s an experience that allows you to step inside the story and feel it firsthand,”
says Joanna Sikora-Kowalkowska, CEO of Art Box Gallery.
To begin with, guests will be transported to the dark “Dracula’s Hotel”, a multi-user interactive VR adventure created in collaboration with Spanish companies Blanco y Negro Music and Univrse, a global leader in multi-user VR experiences. Following its success in Paris, Madrid, and Barcelona, Dracula’s Hotel now opens its doors at Art Box Metaverse in Warsaw’s Norblin Factory.
In this surprise-filled virtual hotel, every room hides different visual and sound effects. It is a fusion of state-of-the-art VR technology with the atmosphere of classic haunted houses. As a result, the experience stands out not only for its realism and special effects, but also for the possibility of sharing fear together-with friends, family, or colleagues. Within the 330-square-meter space, thanks to the latest immersive technology, up to 25 participants at a time can wander through the corridors of Dracula’s Hotel and uncover the secrets hidden behind successive doors. Each one reveals new surprises: encounters with the most famous vampire from the Carpathians, Frankenstein, the Yeti, and a whole gallery of dark creatures that won’t let visitors catch their breath even for a moment. The entire experience lasts approximately 30 minutes and is intended for adults, teenagers, and children aged 10 and above.
The voice of the title character in the Polish version of Dracula’s Hotel is provided by Daniel Olbrychski, one of the most acclaimed and recognizable actors in Poland and abroad. Over the course of his career, he has appeared in more than 150 film roles, including iconic productions by Andrzej Wajda, Jerzy Hoffman, and Krzysztof Zanussi. He has also starred in international productions, collaborating with directors such as Volker Schlöndorff and Claude Lelouch.
Daniel Olbrychski is also known for his extensive voice-over work. His voice is familiar to audiences from Disney’s cult classic Cars, in which he voiced Doc Hudson, as well as Asterix at the Olympic Games, where he voiced Julius Caesar. His distinctive tone and exceptional charisma give the new Art Box Metaverse experience remarkable depth and dramatic power, intensifying the feeling of immersion in the dark world of Dracula’s Hotel-with a subtle wink of humor. As the actor himself says:
“There comes a moment when everyone has the potential-or the dream-to be Dracula, even if only for a moment.”
But that’s not all. In November, Art Box Metaverse will invite visitors into completely new, fantastical worlds inspired by the most beautiful fairy tales. This magical spectacle will transport entire families into beloved childhood stories. Thanks to cutting-edge VR technology and engaging storytelling, visitors will become true heroes of these tales-flying on Aladdin’s magic carpet, meeting Pinocchio inside the belly of a whale, diving into the depths with the Little Mermaid, and facing a dragon. It is a completely new dimension of family entertainment that combines the magic of classic stories with innovative technology, allowing audiences to experience unforgettable adventures.
