The experience was amazing. The staff and actors were fully committed from start to finish. The atmosphere was scary in the best way and the tasks were creative and intense. There was even a mission my wife had to complete or they would have “cut off” my head or hand which had us laughing from the pressure. A professional and highly recommended place for anyone who loves quality horror experiences.

Absolutely amazing experience, and absolutely f*cking scary. The actors are completely committed and deeply scary but also hilarious. The setting is very well made and thought out, every room is darker and scarier than the last. Follow instructions and have fun and you will be fine, my girlfriend's and mine hearts are still beating out of our chests. So fun!

This was an awesome experience but not for the faint hearted. Lots of different actors in several rooms and they talk with you and make you do tasks so highly interactive. All rooms really well made with perfect lighting and sound. Very scary but good fun.

It was so cool, I would do it over and over again. The individual rooms you walk through were so hammer designed and also great compliment to the performers. So if you are in Budapest is definitely worth a visit.

The actors play was absolutely proffessional! There was one thing i couldn't even imagine they will use. Won't tell what it is. The best way is to gi alone in there (if you have the guts). 100% recommend it!

What an excellent thrill ride! It was creepy, scary and some bits got under my skin! Which is hard to do 😂 the couple who went in after us chickened out after about 3 minutes! 🤣 if you’re looking for somewhere or a gift for a true horror fan, this is the place for you! Thank you for being supportive/mindful of my type 1 diabetes. I won’t write any spoilers but the last part is what got under my skin and had me super creeped out 😅 great job guys! 🖤

Really nice! Friendly welcome and friendly staff. After that I had a lot of screaming and after fun. These actors will touch you. You should be able to handle it;)

Really enjoyed this. Im a bit claustrophobic so was nervous but its not that enclosed and there are plenty of lights that go on and off and actors around! Very well acted and good story. Be prepared to be touched and pushed around!

We had such a fantastic time at Nightmare in Budapest! The experience gave us just the right amount of scares while still keeping it entertaining and fun. The atmosphere was immersive, the actors were excellent, and the whole adventure kept us on our toes.
