5.00Lots of fun! Actors are totally in character, be prepared to be ‘picked on’, the actors will shout at you, accuse you, lock you up, attempt to chop your head off! There are lots of flashing lights, bangs, screams and laughter! Bit of fun !
Don’t Recommend

1.00Wouldn’t recommend - staff are not welcoming at all and don’t want your business. Have done other attractions in York and were treated 100 times better. We simply went up and asked if there was availability to go into the Dungeon, two staff members were standing outside having a conversation and trying to flirt with the young girls at the front of the queue so refused to answer our question. I then took a spot in the queue while my dad tried for the second time to ask the question. I could see this happening. As my dad approached and asked the staff member turned away from him and refused to answer the question while making a face. At this point we left, not good customer service at all and would NOT recommend despite how good the attraction might be. Let down at the first hurdle. Tried to phone the office with no answer to discuss what happened.
So many laughs and funny jump scares

WARNING: The opt-out sticker does NOT work.

1.00I only agreed to go because I was told there was an opt-out, and I wore the sticker the whole time—but actors ignored it and pulled me into a scene anyway, which completely ruined the experience for me. Even if they hadn’t noticed it at first, they could have improvised to remove me—but they didn’t. It felt uncomfortable and deeply disrespectful. If guests are going to be involved regardless, this should be made clear instead of offering an opt-out that isn’t respected. Do NOT rely on this system.
Brilliant fun but not for the faint hearted

5.00Really enjoyed this visit with my son. I went over twenty years ago ( I live in York) and thought it was just ok but they have completely changed the experience and the ten rooms you go through now each with their own time and actor were top notch. Well worth the money when you consider the quality of acting on display . It’s interactive so be prepared to take part if called upon. Great entertainment and in my humble opinion way better than value than other attractions in York ( looking at you Yorvik)
We’re were a group of 9...

5.00This was better than going to the theatre! Being so close up with the actors and being integrated into the performance was so much fun. They get you involved from the start and we had a great laugh.
Brillant
