If you have block-obsessed kids at home (or if you yourself have spent entire nights mining for diamonds), you need to know that Buenos Aires is one of the cities hosting Minecraft Experience: Moonlight Trail, the first immersive, nighttime outdoor adventure based on Minecraft. Everything you need to know to experience Minecraft in real life.
The Minecraft experience in Buenos Aires has already sold over 50,000 tickets and extended its dates. If you’re planning to go, here’s the complete guide with official information and, above all, those survival secrets that no other media outlet will tell you.
Minecraft under the stars: what the experience is like and useful tips
This experience is an interactive and immersive tour in a natural setting at Ciudad Universitaria, just a few meters from the river. Upon entering this nighttime world of Minecraft, you’ll be given an interactive device—a glowing cube—that reacts to the environment.
Along a trail that lasts about an hour, you’ll pass through different stations where you’ll complete tasks just as if you were inside Minecraft—just like in the game, but in real life: from gathering resources in an amethyst cave and dodging skeletons, to wandering through a bioluminescent Cherry Blossom Forest. And if you thought there wouldn’t be any survival-style action, get ready because you’ll end up joining forces with others in a grand final battle against the mobs.
Helpful tips to make the most of your experience
At the mining stations, try not to crowd together so that your bucket’s sensor works without interference from others and you can collect the resources the tour offers.
This immersive Minecraft experience is full of incredible spots to take photos and capture your moment. Who wouldn’t want a photo with a zombie or a creeper? One of the best spots is the Cherry Tree Forest.
And keep in mind that it’s an outdoor experience very close to the Costanera Norte Nature Reserve. It’s already fall, and at night, the cold will be much more intense. It’s very important to dress warmly because thewind chill can drop to 3 or 4 degrees. Don’t forget to gear up like a true expert player with a hat and gloves. It’s real survival!
Useful info: Prices, schedules, and restrictions
