Situated in the Joshua Tree desert where unexplained phenomena have been reported for decades, the location is designed for maximum immersion and minimum outside contact fit for the ultimate X-Phile. For these passionate fans, comfort and conspiracies go hand-in-hand. And for fans looking to escape modern dystopia with a heavy dose of nostalgia, it’s a perfect outlet. The off-grid installation features:
A living case board to track patterns, connections, and conspiracies across all 218 episodes
Themed provisions including black coffee, sunflower seeds, and paranormal paraphernalia
Daily on-camera debriefing confessionals for social documentation
Classified details still under wraps
Pluto TV is hosting a contest for #TheXFiles fans to watch the show in seclusion for nine days in Joshua Tree: the-fan-is-out-there.prod.fooji.com (This is my dream, but I would also never return.)
