What Is This?
What is a “Score Sheet?”
Score Sheets are our way of letting you know how we came up with the scores for this review. Each of our review categories are broken down into several questions that we ask ourselves when we leave the attraction. Each question gets its own score from 1 to 10, which is then used to calculate the overall score for the category. After that, the overall “Final” score for the attraction (haunted houses only) is calculated by using a weighted average formula.

Customer Service (10%) |
1: How easy was it to locate the attraction, park and navigate the premises? (25%) |
10 |
2: How safe was the attraction? (30%) |
| 9 |
There were a couple of trip spots in the haunt but very minimal and there is defiantly a disclaimer on the website. We were advised to maintain 6 feet of space between us and the group in front or behind, a few of the set areas just didn’t allow for this behavior overall. |
3: How professional, helpful and friendly were the staff members? (25%) |
| 9 |
Staff wasn’t super easy to distinguish, but they were generally very proactive about asking if people needed help and directing them where to go. |

Customer Service Score: |
9.45 |
Atmosphere (10%) |
---|
1: How obvious was it that you were at a haunted house before entering? (60%) |
7 |
There was very little decoration and build up to the experience before going inside. The addition of talkative queue line actors would help bring up the energy. The DJ was a great addition. |
2: How well did the atmosphere prepare you for what you experienced inside? (40%) |
7 |
In the barn, there was a lurking clown in a box that felt overly superfluous and out of place – this could’ve been moved into the clown portion of the haunt and felt more worthwhile. |
