Know Before You Go

Tips & Advice

  • Dress in layers and wear sturdy footwear suitable for dirt paths and fields, as this is an outdoor experience that runs in various weather conditions.
  • Arrive 5-10 minutes before your booked time slot to complete payment and any necessary preparations.
  • If you have a smaller group, you may be grouped with other players to fill the time slot of up to 10 people.
  • Leave cell phones in the car or pocket; they are not to be taken out during the game unless for an emergency.
  • If you become too scared or experience anxiety, notify one of the haunt actors to end your experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if it's raining during our time slot?

The game runs rain or shine. Please dress for the weather, as there is some shelter at each station, but you will be in the weather while walking between stations.

How many people can book into a time slot?

There is a maximum of ten players per time slot. If you have more than 10 players, book back-to-back time slots and split your group.

Can we drink alcohol on the property?

No, alcohol, beer, or wine cannot be consumed on the farm property at all.

What should I wear?

Dress for the weather. Wear a warm jacket, hat, and boots if it's cold, something lighter if it's nice, and water-resistant shoes and a raincoat if it's rainy.

Can I cancel my booking?

It's like buying concert tickets; you can give them to someone else or try changing to a different time or night. There are no refunds.
