Day One (New for 2026)

WOO – Theming | WOO – Actor Performance | BOO –  Concept

Day One is one of the brand new mazes taking over Traumatica. Designed around the story of day one of the apocalypse, you witness the chaos, destruction and evil that now fills the air. The theming here was spectacular, with well themed booths around a deserted town and a wrecked train carriage, before getting lost in the catacombs. Each scene was so detailed, filled with props and little details, building the level of immersion to make you feel like you were in the apocalypse. The concept of the apocalypse isn’t a new one in terms of horror or mazes, however it is nice to see it fit the overall Traumatica brand. The cast inside was lively, horrific and knew their space, delivering scare after scare as you travelled across the town. You really had to keep your eyes out, as they were literally everywhere.

Tarot House: Final Descent

WOO – Storytelling | WOO – Costume & Makeup | BOO – Concept

Tarot House is a returning maze and has been around since our last visit back in 2024. This attraction has a great starting scene which sets the story. Whilst in German, you can still feel the mysteriousness of the story as the fortune teller stares into her crystal ball and opens the portal into the house. Inside, it is haunted by Madam Monroe and her coven, as you go through different scenes while the story plays out. The concept isn’t anything unique or special as such, with a haunted Tarot House fitting the Halloween and spooky theme, but with that said, it fits the Traumatica story and the overlay of Last Descent keeps the story progressing. The costumes inside were top notch, highly detailed and blending in with the sets and effects. The makeup was realistic and horrifying and all in all, it did not disappoint.

The Hill: Hide & Seek

WOO – Concept | WOO – Lighting & SFX | BOO – Screams

The Hill is another returning attraction and takes the story of missing kids and a mystical magical force taking over. With time not on your side, will you find out what happened before they find you? The concept on the surface seems basic, however they have added interactive scenes as you go through the forest and structures. From red light, green light to staying quiet to keep away from these creatures. The scares were the weakest in this maze, due to limited places they could hide and attack from and it seeming to have the least actors. However, with great lighting throughout, playing with the interactive nature made it a lot of fun and certainly different to the rest of the intense mazes.

Murderdome: Bonus Round

WOO – Screams | WOO – Lighting & SFX | BOO – Theming

Murderdome is another returning attraction and this has had huge changes since our last visit. Hosted in a large circus tent, this maze has a huge array of effects. From fire, ball pits, smoke and a lighting package that is mesmerising. They had air blasts which caught you off guard and chainsaws at the end to make sure you left running. The theming inside Murderdome isn’t of the quality of the rest of Traumatica. Whilst still plenty of different props and many different routes and spaces to explore, it felt just a little less. This was made up by the scares, as this attraction was one of the most intense. They were very forceful with grabbing, moving and getting in your way, and with their terrifying costumes and quite vicious look, it all played a part in the intimidation and fear of this maze.

The Hotel

The Hotel is a brand new upcharge attraction that you can purchase on top of your entry ticket. Costing €30, this is a solo experience where you join the paranormal hunt team in the hotel, with not much more said, leaving what’s inside a mystery. Whilst we don’t wish to spoil the maze, it takes inspiration from other solo experiences found in Europe, and the team make sure to immerse you from check in until check out. Even the host outside won’t tell you how long the experience is or what you might encounter, only those who step in know. Guests do get a token of their stay, a laundry bag with The Hotel branding on it, which is a nice touch. We would highly recommend this to those looking for a unique experience to do alone and to see the unusual done spectacularly.

Legends Party, Vampire Club & Eden Manor

Starting with The Legends Party, it was surreal to be with the Mack family, partners and friends celebrating the anniversary of the event. With a welcome reception, drinks and even a special show for Michael Mack, who was given a key from the cast to open the terror realm of the event. We had a private dinner in the Greek tavern, with exclusive videos, talks and interviews celebrating Traumatica. At the end, we were able to head into the event and try some of the mazes before close.

This then led on to experiencing Vampire Club once more. Taking over the Poseidon ride station and transforming it into a nightclub blows our minds every time. The entertainment inside had Marc Terenzi and Leon Fuller providing songs, plus other circus acts, with the rest of the crew on the bar tops or stage podiums at the back, giving out free shots and blasting flamethrowers into the crowd. It feels like a lucid dream at points. The lighting, the performance and the setting are just perfect, and getting the opportunity one last time to enjoy Vampire Club won’t be forgotten in a hurry!

On the Saturday night, we were also invited to try Eden Manor, the after hours lounge bar which is exclusive to those who buy the Psycho Pass ticket this year. This experience has very little info online, with no pictures or details. We found out your phone is taken from you before you can step inside, and that makes sense. Inside, we were treated to more performances from the cast, this time headlined by Cadaverous Black, the main new creature in the Traumatica story for 2026. Up close illusion acts, circus performance and cabaret singing all featured in a brand new show they designed, which was very much enjoyed, before a party with a live DJ took over the rest of the evening. Even the team came out and partied with us too!
