It's not every day that one gets unexpectedly bear hugged, repeatedly berated and verbally abused, and forced to get up close and personal with naked strangers. This is what you can expect if you visit Blackout—the scariest haunted house ever created.
All participants have to be 18 years or older because participants could be required to strip naked. Visitors are sensory deprived and verbally abused in dark spaces. But that is just the mild beginning. They encounter just about anything imaginable in a series of dark corridors—while walking through entirely alone. You are not allowed to take anybody with you.
Attendees are expected to do everything that they are told to do (no matter what) and to never speak unless told to do so. Before being allowed to enter, waivers are signed noting potential parts of the experience—complete darkness, strobe lights, crawling, stairs, loud noises, water, physical contact, and sexual and violent situations. Almost everything goes, without the participant having any say in it once the waiver is signed and they are inside.
If a guest feels that the experience is too intense to handle, a safety word can be used to end it all immediately. No refund is given.
