Scare Me is a small independent Halloween attraction which is located in Almere in The Netherlands. This is around a 30 minute drive from Amsterdam and is easy to get to by car. Scare Me have been operation for a number of years and is known for some unique attractions, which always improve year upon year from what it seems. With the event becoming ever popular, the event expands and adjusts accordingly so that they keep their ethos front & centre. 

Scare Me has several exciting attractions for 2022. This includes 5 Halloween haunts plus an additional experience which translates to The Ride. This being a dark ride built by the creator of the event, Perry, who spent his lockdown designing this unique attraction. 

The event runs on selected nights and as a small event, tickets are very limited. The reason is that groups are usually of a very small size, around 2-4 guests, to give a premium experience. Therefore, whilst queues are not long by the eye, they can be up to an hour on the popular mazes. 

Baku

“Step into this little chinese shop and immerse yourself in oriental myths. You had heard of this “Dream eater” but whether it is true… “

Baku was a very interesting maze as we had no idea what to expect. Interaction began before you even entered the maze, with the chinese shop owner coming out trying to sell you random items (different every time) before inviting you in. After another great introduction scene, we then found out to enter our dreams we would of course needed to be blindfolded using some special goggles! There was plenty of unusual sounds and different touching methods used throughout which was cool to see from the others we have experienced. Half way round we were shocked even more, as we were taken away from the rope to have a dance…. weird we know! Towards the end, you are able to see again and it had a great final few scenes. Overall, a really interesting take on a blindfolded mazes with a unique theme! 

The Mansion

“This house belongs to Mr. “Van der Graaf”. But sir has been missing for 3 weeks. Now an investigation team has been placed on that missing person, but after 1 week there was only 1 left of the team. The rest… Unfindable! You are sent from the office as backup private detectives! Go to that house and find out where Mr. Van der Graaf is and of course your colleagues! Come back with answers!”

The Mansion was a very solid scare maze and really put into perspective that Scare Me could do a terrifying maze. The introduction into the mansion really set the eerie story to light. Very quickly however, his assistant disappears and the scare maze begins and all you have to guide you through the darkened corridors is a lamp, more importantly a Haunted Lantern! These flash and glow different colours and settings in each room as needed, which help bring this attraction to light in a new way. This technology really brings a whole new level of excitement and fear to a maze. The actors got more and more creepy as we walked through, as we met a chef, a maid and a group of Satanists! The scares were executed cleverly, with no actors screaming at you or shouting, but simply hiding in the darkness, grabbing you from unexpected spots and effects happening at the right time. The ending was like a nightmare, with it having the best ending out of all the attractions and one of the best stories we’ve seen this Halloween.
