Looking for creative people to help build a Halloween experience in Grand Rapids. I’m putting together an idea for Halloween that’s basically 10 mini immersive experiences, each lasting about 10 minutes. Groups of around 4–8 people would rotate from station to station.

If you have ever done true dungeon at Gencon think that but Halloween and in the woods.

Groups of around 4–8 people would rotate from station to station, so the whole thing would take roughly 90–100 minutes.

Some loose examples:

A mini escape room

A low-ropes / “cross the cursed swamp” challenge

A creepy “sit in the chair and survive” experience with lights, sound and surprise effects

A séance

A “don’t wake the monster” stealth challenge

A witch’s potion puzzle

A laser/string obstacle crypt

Haunted carnival games

A creature hunt

A final ritual/challenge that ties everything together

The goal isn’t necessarily a traditional haunted house. I want it to feel more like an interactive Halloween adventure where you actually DO things instead of just walking past actors jumping out at you.

I’m looking for volunteers, actors, builders, puzzle people, theater people, Halloween nerds, escape-room fans, prop makers, tech/effects people, or anyone who hears this idea and immediately starts thinking of something ridiculous we should add.

Ideally, different people or small teams could basically adopt a station and help create/run their own 10-minute experience.

This is still in the brainstorming/planning stage, so I’d especially love to find people interested in helping shape it.

If that sounds fun to you, comment or message me. And if you have an idea for a 10-minute Halloween challenge, I want to hear that too.

If this is you or just insisted for when it comes online.
