Branded as the best scream park in 2023, PrimEvil returns for 2024 with the fearsome five to create another season of sinister screams for those ready. With 15 years of terror and experience behind them, PrimEvil promises that screaming won’t help as you take on 5 horrifying mazes amongst additional entertainment this Halloween. With food, drink and side stalls to keep you occupied on your night out, we decided that PrimEvil was worth a visit to see what they had going on.
The event is located at ROARR adventure park in Norwich, that’s in the east of England. Open during selected nights over the Halloween season, you can enter as early as 6pm with last entry being 9pm. Maze queues close around 10:30pm with the scream park closing by 11pm. They have a range of ticket options, with standard, fastrack or VIP on offer. Standard getting you 1x entry to each of the 5 mazes, fastrack allowing you to skip the queues and VIP giving you unlimited mazes in the fastrack queue. You also get a free drink and the high ropes course added on with the VIP package. Prices range from £35 for standard tickets and go up depending on if you want a better package.
For 2024, they have an unchanged lineup in terms of the mazes, with it being labelled as the fearsome five. This includes The Crypt, Route 666, Warehouse 51, Circus of Terror and Mayhem Hotel. They have some Funfair rides at the event, some shocking chairs, and a live band providing the entertainment in the Bitter & Twisted zone in the middle of the event.

Our First thoughts…
This was our second ever time visiting PrimEvil, with our last visit being in 2021. Whilst the maze lineup remains very similar, we did remember the event to have some fun unique elements not seen elsewhere, but had so much potential with many points of improvement. Since then to be branded as the best scream park, it peaked our interest in returning to see what all the fuss is about and to see if we agreed.
Heading into the event, we had a short wait to get our tickets but this queue and area had plenty of actors keeping you entertained. Heading into the event, we had a VIP wristband so we knew we could do the mazes as much as we liked, so we managed to get them all done early on before it got busy.
The event seemed to be missing a bit of atmosphere outside of the band playing on the main stage. With dark pathways and a small entertainment hub which consisted of food places, a bar and stage, we expected something a little more. We did enjoy the interactions with the roaming street team, such as the one with the flamethrower on top of the archway, which was fantastic to see. We also loved the predator high ropes, which whilst had nothing spooky going on about it, outside of doing it in the dark, it was certainly fun & different.
Below we go into more depth about the attractions, giving you our thoughts and rating. Our ratings are completely separate and allows us to give a fair unbiased rating of each attraction. To know more about the ratings before you read below, do click here!
Route 666 – Scare Score: 54%
Theming 50% | Storyline 65% | Screams 45% | Laughs 60% | Actors 50%
Your classic hillbilly theme is found in this forest of fear. A long way to longville introduces you to pa and the hillbillies as you try to stay on the right route to make it out alive. This is a long trail of terror, with blinding lights, comedic actors and some scary moments. With the first half of the mazes being a pretty dark walk with a few interactions, the second half does pick up with more impactful scares and theming. We did unfortunately catch up with the group ahead and ended up queueing inside the maze which isn’t ideal but it was a bit of fun in the forest.
The Crypt – Scare Score: 65%
Theming 60% | Storyline 70% | Screams 70% | Laughs 55% | Actors 70%
Inside a beautifully themed church, you are welcomed by the father and his nuns inside the house of faith. You will encounter pitch black horror as the black death has taken over inside, with those inside being dammed for forever. Entering into the darkness, we encountered so many creepy creatures that sent chills down our spine. Trying to follow the walls without our vision yet not even being hooded, prays on the fear of those scared of the dark. Whilst getting lighter in the second half, the maze was filled with clever hiding spots and clever lighting tricks. One of our favourites from the night for sure.
Warehouse 51- Scare Score: 66%
Theming 75% | Storyline 70% | Screams 65% | Laughs 60% | Actors 60%
The toxic mutation has spread inside this warehouse as you start your first shift. This warehouse of nightmares provides plenty of creepy yet terrifying scares from those who are just hanging on from the fumes. The theming takes you right into the story and has some really cool effects to add to it, which we really appreciated. The infected inside did a great job in providing a sinister feel but just felt they weren’t vocal enough, but maybe the toxic fumes got their tongues? With some very tight spaces and a confusing layout, it completely made you lose your sense of direction and question if you have lost your mind, or going the right way.
Circus of Terror- Scare Score: 63%
Theming 60% | Storyline 55% | Screams 60% | Laughs 80% | Actors 60%
Prepare to freak out in the circus of terror, where you will be clowning around in this party. They have brought the fun in this haunt, with it having so many unique elements. From a spinning floor to silent disco headphones to climbing inside a ball pit, they have it all. They manage to still keep it spooky enough with the clowns hiding about however, it did feel a little light in many areas. Due to this, the terror just didn’t feel like it existed, but with the only maze with headphones we are likely to do this year, it’s fun to see different techniques being used to keep the clown concept alive.
Mayhem Manor – Scare Score: 36%
Theming 60% | Storyline 25% | Screams 35% | Laughs 30% | Actors 30%
This hotel apocalypse is now a safe zone for all survivors to get away from the murderous zombies. You roam an abandoned yet creepy hotel, passing through disorientating corridors and dimly lit walkways to try and keep safe. We did meet with some military personal at the start, then a hotel worker shortly after and then, a few zombies. Which as far as the story goes, it was pretty confusing. It was the only maze of the night where the story just didn’t work and it felt most of the maze was just rushed or the actors wanting us to just pass. There were a small amount of good moments, such as a spark machine that got pretty close, plus a cool lift but, this was overshadowed with many empty rooms and being rushed through. With the loss of the haunted lantern technology when we last visited, it feels the charm and mayhem has disappeared.
Overall, PrimEvil was evil and entertaining but lacklustre given the best scream park accolade, which is a huge shame, as we managed to do all the mazes twice, at the start and end of the night to see if anything changed. They have the concepts and principles to make it incredible but with a noticeable lack of actors and many points of improvements needed, it just did not hit the mark for us.
With this said, PrimEvil is the full package with 5 mazes, food and drink and some entertainment which many people were out enjoying and feeling festive for Halloween, which we love to see.
A huge thank you to the team for inviting us to visit and providing us with 2 VIP wristbands to enjoy our evening. We were unable to take any in maze content but in return for our gifted visit, we have completed our review and a small overviewing video of the event.
