The fear of the scare started as soon as we had booked the tickets.
The scary experience started as soon as we arrived on site and waited for our mission instructions. In the dark. In the middle of nowhere.
The mission become our reality.
The scare factor was through the roof.
I found brave people in our group to take on particular tasks when my heart was beating so fast I needed Zombie protection.
The group, including a couple we met tonight, worked together so as to accommodate everyone’s tolerance of the fear factor.
I lost track of time and had no chance to think of anything outside the mission.
The duration was spot on, around 2.5 hours.
At the end the round of applause for the actors was well deserved.
It was a totally immersive experience thanks to the great company of actors.
They were zombies, real zombies.
I will recommend this to my friends and my family but not my mother. My mother is the one person I know who could not handle the scare level. She’d be screaming from the start of the journey to the bunker until the end of the mission. Everyone else can handle it.
Be brave.
When the mission changes I will certainly be rebooking.
That initial fear has now turned into a great memory and a huge smile.
Tips:
1. You can take some water and leave it in a convenient place.
2. You have access to toilets throughout.
3. You get hot and excited and you can take off layers during the mission and keep them in a safe place. It’s warm in the bunker.
4. You are in a bunker, you will have no phone signal so you leave it in the car.
5. Wear comfy clothes.
6. Go with the flow and the mission will take you into the zombie reality.
