Tips & Advice
- Fuel up your vehicle before starting, as the routes can be extensive and you'll want to avoid getting lost due to a low gas tank.
- Consider forming a themed team and dressing up to enhance the retro game experience and add to the fun of the spooky adventure.
- Pack essentials like snacks and a flashlight, as you might be in the car for an extended period, and the driver may prefer not to use the interior dome light.
- To fully embrace the retro challenge, try putting phones away and relying on a physical dictionary, map, and your team's wits instead of GPS.
- Start your adventure early in the evening to minimize wait times at the haunted attractions and ensure you have ample time to complete the entire experience.
