KPop Demon Hunters fans have a new interactive attraction to look forward to. Netflix announced KPop Demon Hunters: The Immersive Experience, an in-person event hosted at select Netflix House locations. The press release describes the project as an all-new interactive and music-filled adventure.
Most importantly, participants get to meet the aptly named Derpy Tiger.
Netflix revealed that the experience begins backstage with Huntr/x before the opening night of their world tour. Then the film main antagonist, Gwi-Ma, attacks the venue. Guests join Huntr/x in battling demons through interactive sets, screens, and 3D technology. The storyline unfolds via music and play-based challenges featuring live actors and custom animation. The event plays out to the film soundtrack, featuring songs like “Golden” and “How It’s Done.”
Netflix chief marketing officer Marian Lee shared her thoughts on the Netflix House event:
Fans don’t just want to watch KPop Demon Hunters, they want to live in the world of HUNTR/X. Netflix House is where fandoms like this get to live year-round, so it’s the perfect home for everything KPop Demon Hunters fans have been asking for. Singing the songs they already know by heart, facing off with demons, hanging out with Derpy Tiger — every detail is built so fans of all ages can feel, hear, and see this world exactly the way they imagined it.
Where is the event, and when will tickets be on sale?
The event is available at the Netflix House locations in Dallas and Philadelphia. MasterCard customers can purchase tickets starting on Sept. 22. Tickets become available for Netflix members on Sept. 29. The general public can buy them starting on Oct. 1.

Earlier this year, Netflix announced that a sequel film to KPop Demon Hunters is in development from directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans. However, the wait will likely be long. Initial reports indicated the film would be ready by 2029, but a Sony Pictures Animation executive stated in an interview that this timeline is unlikely due to the lengthy production cycles required for animated features.
