Primitive Fear: Walkers: Bloodshed paints the city red after an incurable virus has plagued humankind, leaving the undead desperate for flesh. Your job is to battle through bloodthirsty zombies in hopes of finding sanctuary from these demonic creatures.
Contagium: The Escape: Enter into the Asylum to discover a body of a victim lost to a ghastly disease waiting for you on an autopsy table. What begins as a tour quickly turns into a trap and a race against the clock for survival. You must work with your group to uncover clues in hopes of making your escape. But hurry, because the chamber where you make your mad search will eventually begin to fill with sedation gas. Get out before you’re the next one on the autopsy table…
Ridgegate: The Condemned: Welcome to Ridgegate Hospital, where the dangerous and deranged patients are the least of your worries and fears. Doctors routinely take patients and visitors into the basement for rituals so horrifying, those who were sane, come out crazed, and those already crazed, return with a deeper, more sickening level of insanity. If you happen to make it past the tortuous staff, beware of the serial-killing nurse who has taken over 30 souls and counting. In Ridgegate, it can sometime be hard to determine who is a friend and who is foe. Don’t be fooled…the nightmarish staff and residents of Ridgegate will surprise you when you least expect it.

The House of Darkness – Poppy Sycamore was the proud director of a small town circus in 1947. His clown themed funhouse was the highlight of his hometown year after year, and every fall during the Halloween season, Poppy could not wait to open his doors to the public. Tragically, Poppy fell mentally ill in the summer of 1976, and on opening night that fall, the fun house turned into the bloodiest massacre the small town had ever seen. No one survived the psychotic rampage of Poppy Sycamore. The town was so scared to step foot into the clown house that it sat dormant for decades, until finally the abandoned, scary clown house was relocated to Denver’s world famous haunted house – The Frightmare Compound.
