The Unknown, is a character created for the 2024 Live Event called “Willy’s Chocolate Experience” an unauthorized event based on the popular Charlie & The Chocolate Factory book and subsequent movies. In the script ,which was generated with AI the Unknown is described as “an evil chocolate maker who lives in the walls” in the event they were given a silver mask and a mirror that they gripped onto. In the script they try to get McDuff’s “Anti-Graffiti Gobstopper” but is eventually sucked into a vacuum and therefore thwarted.
Willy’s Chocolate Experience
Willy’s Chocolate Experience was an unlicensed event based on Roald Dahl’s Charlie & The Chocolate Factory that occured in February 2024.
The event organizer scammed people with AI generated art on a promotional site to attend a lackluster event where the script was also generated using AI. This quickly became a meme online and negatively compared to other disaster events such as Dashcon or Fyre Fest.
