3. Mutants and Mayhem: A Zombie Apocalypse Survival Game
This is not for the faint at heart – gather your bravest friends and survive the zombie apocalypse in this storytelling RPG (game) that takes place in real life. In a fictitious world threatened by mutants, you will be one of the last few human survivors to brave the infected warehouse, plotting your escape with limited weapons. Your team of five friends can also play as infected zombies and hunt down humans – or other zombies – if you wish to join the dark side. It is every man, or zombie, for himself.

5. Funeral: The Mourning Widow
You receive a letter from your friend’s wife, informing you of your friend’s death. You attend his funeral and enter the mourning hall to pay your last respects. However, in an eerie twist of events, the room where your friend’s lifeless body lies suddenly gets locked. Figure your way out of this funeral parlour before you become one of the undead. There is also a virtual reality segment to this Halloween-exclusive escape room – the fear factor is high in this one.
