Really good laugh, the actors gave it their all and the set pieces were really funny too. Well worth the entry fee.

This was excellent and well worth the frankly not bad at all entry fee, the actors were top and it was lot's of fun with grisly pretend gore, spooky scares and lot's of laughs, enjoyed it thoroughly, highly recommended.

I saw a review on the front door about being scared initially and so glad they visited, this pursuaded me, they were spot on. What an incredible immersive experience, the staff/actors are all incredible, the attention to detail, set designs etc and story telling/costumes all just phenomenal. I was just amazed by it all. Well worth the £50. Just go you wont be dissappinted and I dont do scary so was the right level for me as I was really apprehensive, it was amazing!!!!! Thank you

Great atmosphere, the actors and staff were brilliant throughout ! The plague doctor was very disturbing I think he was my favourite 🤣 Having been to most of the dungeons now I did worry it would become tiresome but I enjoyed every minute of it . The only thing I missed from my last visit was the maze part ( it’s about 6 years since I went ) I did really like that bit but it seems to have gone 😔 This is definitely the best experience out of all the dungeons Iv visited , I actually fancy doing the adult version now 😈 I wonder if the torturer will actually use any of the devices 😬😱🤣

Interactive and fun. Not too scary. Participants not too out of comfort zone. All in good humour

Definitely look for a deal as the prices online or on the door are crazy! We went as a family with our two boys aged 14 and 8. The actors were fantastic and the setting is great. My youngest left after room 5 as it was too scary for him. I would not recommend for children under 10. Very dark and in your face!!! I stayed with my 14 year old and we loved the rest of it. If you don’t like being selected then ask for a yellow sticker. We did and I am glad we did.

Absolutely amazing experience. A combination of scary and funny. I didn't realise that it would be that interactive, which might bother some people,but it was fun/ scary to be put in the cage and then later summoned by the judge. I was with a small group of lovely people which made it more fun. The actors were incredible and every room held another suprise or scare. I was buzzing when I came out. Would highly recommend
