LELA ROUTE
Help LELA open the Portal to return home to the Parallel City. In 2002, when she was just 4 years old, Lela was trapped on Earth and separated from her parents.
For the party:
1. Dress funky! And include at least one pink or blue item in your costume.
2. Wear super comfortable shoes! You'll have to walk, in some cases, around 500 meters. You'll also be climbing stairs, and moving through space. Leave the heels at home. Our party is uber-casual.
3. Come with a charged phone. And a pair of headphones, if it’s possible. You'll have QR codes to scan giving you access to an audio story. We don't provide phones, that would be really lame.
4. You can take photos, make Insta stories, TikToks, and any other type of social media content you wish. We're not a boring theater. You have freedom! Just tag us @orasulparalel.
