Hallowed Peak 2022 Review

A thrilling Halloween spectacular for a limited time only has made its way to London. Phantom Peak enters a brand new exciting chapter, doubling in size and offers 13 exclusive trials for the spookiest time of year. This is Hallowed Peak! 

For anybody who has yet to experience Phantom Peak, it’s an open world experience where you roam completing trails. To complete trails, you need to meet the town folk and seek the answers to your story. With carnival games, food and drink and other entertainment happening all around, it’s easy to get immersed and lost in this world for the 5 hours you have to explore.

We were lucky enough to have an adventure already in Season 1 of Phantom Peak. You can read more details of that by checking out that review by…

The story of Hallowed Peak is based around the Lunar Festival, which is a time of celebration for the people in Phantom Peak. However, something stirs in the soil as the moon is at its closest and the mysteries and visions of the past, present and future resurface…

wWith this being our return visit, we are going to focus on the new expansion, trails and best bits of our experience in the review. Our journey started on the evening session at 5:30pm, with us arriving into Canada Water and taking the short 5 minute walk to the venue from the tube. We were then checked in by some of the team and asked to sign a digital waiver which took only a quick moment. When entering the venue this time round, you are given a free drink token for one of the festive drinks on offer. Additionally, they’ll introduce you to the world and get you started on everything you need to know. 

Let’s talk about the expansion since season 1. Old Town is now huge and has more than doubled in size! Consisting of many new shops, additional food stalls and even an arcade. Also new was a carnival expansion with 2 brand new carnival games to play, such as Feed The Mayor 2. We lose the boat ride and that remains closed and hidden out of sight. Back in the new town, we see more of a roofed area above the seating area and walkway, giving more dry seating when it rains in addition to the new indoor space in the Old Town. 

This is only touching up what they already had from season 1, so this is fantastic to see the new added space and how they keep building and developing. One of the best new areas was in Old Town, we now have the Miramaze. This being a short walkthrough similar to a funhouse, containing a few interesting rooms and even a slide! This was simple, unexpected yet fantastically fun.

With 13 new trails, it’s one hell of a challenge to complete them all in the 5 hours set. We managed to complete 5, which is around the average and what they recommend. Our stories let us explore about the Platycurse, a romantic but violent gnome and even a Haunted picture house. No story is the same and each contains a jam packed adventure for you to solve in your own time. What makes each trail is the actors, they are the true assets to this immersive open world. Every member you come across, from shops to bars, everyone plays their role in order to keep you lost in this world. We just immediately fall in love with the design and concept of this experience, with it truly being one of a kind. 

The Lunar Festival is the main story of the whole event in general and with every great festival, is a closing ceremony. Yes that’s right, an end of the evening gathering to close out the event. This was brand new to us and you hear about this later into the evening from the priest as she hands out hymn sheets. Not your average hymn though, as the song we had was titled Eggs of Truth!

Whilst everyone got deeply involved into the hymn, Jonas (for those who don’t know Jonas, he is always watching) had a surprise for us all. A robot DJ! The most random 10 minute rave with all the characters you’ve met joining in. It was surreal to see and such a laugh! This is a perfect ending to the Halloween special and second visit to this magnificent place. 

Overall, Hallowed Peak is a perfect Halloween edition following on from the first season of Phantom Peak. It contained an expansion which shocked us, new ghostly trails which we adored alongside other surprises and additions we couldn’t dream of. This experience is going from strength to strength and if you have yet to experience it, we would highly suggest it on your next visit into London. For those who have visited, you would know we are Platyhooked about Phantom Peak (bad pun we know)! 

With the Halloween season almost at the end due to a super limited run, not to worry as Phantom Peak: Wintermas launches! A 6 week Christmas run offering 13 festive new trails and a Christmas overlay to the world of Phantom Peak. We will certainly be making an appearance! 

A huge thank you to the whole Phantom Peak team for inviting us to explore Season 2 and we look forward to visiting for Season 3 very shortly. The team did provide us with 3x complimentary entry in return for our review, images and TikTok! Until Christmas, remember, Jonas is watching you!
