Most of the actors were non-verbal.
5: Was there a good variety of characters? (15%) 8
It felt like a third to half of the characters were some kind of clown, but otherwise, the character variety was pretty good.

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.
4: How easy was it to find their information before you arrived? 10
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.
Atmosphere Score: 7

Special Effects (15%)
1: How effective were the sound effects? (20%) 7.67
Most sound FX were a bit out of place like the Nu-Metal music going in the chain link maze and the zombie horde sound for a prop with 2 zombies animatronics attacking the metal fence.
2: How creative / original were the scenes & props? (20%) 8.67
3: How well were the scenes detailed? (20%) 9.33

Theme (5%) N/A
Theme Score: N/A
Scare Factor (15%)
1: How scary was it? (30%) 6.67
