Spooky Attractions
Are you as fearless as you claim? Or will you be terrified by the horrors within?
DIABOLUS: The Pendle Witches
The Pendle Witches are casting spells on the good people of Doncaster and only you can stop them. Figure out what spells they plan to use and put a stop to the evil once and for all!
Friargate Foundry
This October, join our Detective Somerville in his timetravelling mystery. The doors to Friargate Foundry creak open once more, inviting those fearless—or foolish—enough to complete his quest and find all the answers he needs. Step inside his office and witness the evolution of fear. Some prototypes have been enhanced. Others… have been left to rot. But all of them are waiting.

Dare to enter the Crimson Harvest SCAREZONE at Fearless Factory—a spine-chilling walk-through adventure like no other.
