Frequently Asked

How scary is it, really?+

You choose. Level 1 keeps monsters at a distance; Level 5 lets them restrain, move, and separate you from your group. Pick the intensity that's right for your crew — and upgrade at the door if you're feeling brave.

What are the age limits?+

Not recommended for children under 13. Level 4 requires 16+ (or 13–17 with parental consent and ID). Level 5 is strictly 18+ with ID.

How long does it take?+

Most groups spend 25–40 minutes inside, depending on your level and how fast you move (or run).

Do I need to sign a waiver?+

Yes — every guest signs one. Save time in line and sign it online before you arrive.

Where are you, and is there parking?+

7980 S State St, Midvale, UT — about 15 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City, with free parking on site.

What's your refund policy?+

Tickets are date-and-time specific. No refunds within 24 hours of your event — but you can reschedule based on availability.
