Also in the 2026 issue of “Let's Play Showmasters” brings the digital format of Let's Play to the theater stage. In the live shows, the studio audience accompanies presenter and gamemaster Greta Călinescu as she guides the moderately skilled gamer Tim Steinheimer through diverse and carefully curated video game worlds. The sections played are characterized by creative gameplay, visual aesthetics, or narrative sophistication.

The four-piece live band (Ferdinand Roscher, Julia Fischer, Luna Burkert, Domi Back) plays a special role, improvising in real time to match the atmosphere of the game, not only providing musical surprises but also intensifying the gaming experience – because the original game music is turned off. The audience is also actively involved and can vote on decisions or give tips out loud. Sketches and clips interrupt and expand the gameplay by bringing curious moments from the games into the studio:  from absurd guest appearances to bizarre show interludes.
