It's not just an ordinary 'haunted dungeon' but I like that it's interactive and the actors are good. There are parts that are a bit boring because of storytelling/storyline. Overall it was quite a good and unique experience.

Really good from start to finish, the performers were amazing and the rooms were great. Great attention to detail, some genuine scares and above all a great laugh. Loved the option of buying out photos from the beginning as well!
