Theme Descriptions:

Dread Hollow
Gruesome abominations are unleashed. Ancient evil rises. The battle for dominion over Dread Hollow has begun.

CONTAINMENT
Step inside Belle Royale Hotel where unsuspecting volunteers are dragged into a world of gruesome experiments powered by dark forces never meant to be unleashed. When tortured subjects break free, chaos erupts trapping volunteers in a desperate race through halls. The only escape route leads you through the gates of Dread Hollow Cemetery in Dreadwood Forest, where ancient evil lies in wait.

Dreadwood Forest
Legions of spiders, reptiles and undead soldiers erupt from the ground, summoned by Mercy Harker, the witch who spawned the original curse that consumes Dread Hollow. As you weave through the crossfire, take care the path you choose. Beware the path that leads to the abandoned high school, where Mercy is watching from the shadows.

Skud Row – The Reckoning of Mercy Harker
She is the original evil. From Skud Row, the high school ruins, the witch Mercy Harker gathers her forces and lies in wait to ensnare all who venture near, condemning them to the ranks of her shadow army for the final battle to seize dominion over Dread Hollow.

Escape Rooms:

The Collector
You and your friends wake up in a room that isn’t yours. The door is locked. The air smells like formaldehyde and old velvet. And somewhere in the shadows, The Collector is watching and waiting.

He doesn’t take things. The Collector takes people.

Solve the clues he’s left behind, outthink the puzzles built into his collection, and unlock the only door before time runs out. But escape has a price. Not everyone gets to leave.
Someone must be added to his collection. The question isn’t only how you escape; it’s who you’re willing to leave behind for the Collector’s shelf. Will you be the one left behind?
30 minutes. One door out. One impossible choice.
Up to 6 Participants

13 Souls
Thirteen innocent souls were executed to feed the power of Dread Hollow’s original evil, the witch Mercy Harker. Now, their spirits are trapped inside the room—whispering through the walls, reaching through the dark, and leaving clues for anyone brave enough to listen.

You and your team must uncover the truth behind their deaths, solve the puzzles they left behind, and free all thirteen souls before Mercy returns to reclaim her prized possessions.

The closer you get to releasing them, the stronger she becomes. If you fail, the innocent remain bound, and Mercy may choose you to take their place.

30 minutes. Mercy IS COMING!

The Curse of Dread Hollow:

Hidden in the shadows of the valley lies Dread Hollow — a town poisoned by its own wicked history and haunted by the spirits of the forsaken. What began as a peaceful settlement turned into a breeding ground for terror, forever marked by the cruelty of one woman: Mercy Harker.

She came whispering lies.

With twisted words, Mercy convinced the town’s founding fathers that thirteen young women were witches who had cursed the land.

Frenzy overtook reason. Fear spread like wildfire. Under the iron command of Constable Jedidiah Kane, the accused were condemned, hanged, and burned without mercy.

As the flames consumed the innocent, something far more sinister was born.

A piercing howl ripped through the night. From the clock tower, Mercy watched with wicked delight, declaring, “This town is forever mine.” In that instant, lightning struck — the tower shattered, crashing to the ground in a fiery ruin. Mercy Harker was believed to have died in the wreckage…

…but the curse did not die with her.

The blood of the innocent seeped into the earth, feeding a darkness still spreading through Dread Hollow. For centuries, the town has been claimed by sinister shadows — a place where nightmares awaken, and the line between the living and the dead disappears.

People simply vanish from Dread Hollow, fate unknown… their names and lives swallowed by the curse Mercy left behind.

Those who dare to enter feel it instantly — the heavy stillness, whispered voices carried on the wind, and the unsettling certainty that something is watching. Waiting. Hungry.
