The ‘Horror stories’ are true...
Amazing experience last night! Came with my family and had lots of fun! The whole experience was 10/10 defo go with someone who gets jumpy and scared easily, makes the experience so much fun!!
It was an amazing night from start to finish, everyone played a good part – I’d definitely recommend it. Those looking for a properly immersive and scary experience don’t need to look any further!
Unreal experience, fun, definitely recommended to anyone and hopefully more nights to come. Would definitely go back. From start to finish we were shocked, surprised, and scared beyond what we’d expected. It gave us everything we wanted and more.
