Editor’s note: In September, The Reporter’s own Aida Karim visited the first Prison Island location in the United States. You can read that story at this link.

Think you’re brave?

This Halloween, Prison Island is putting Indianapolis to the ultimate test as Prison Island´s Horror Story comes to life after dark beginning on Friday, Oct. 16, at Castleton Square Mall. For a limited time and on select dates only, once the clock strikes 7 p.m., the ghosts of the prison´s past return after dark as teams have to battle their way through physical, mental, and strategic challenges, all while trying to survive the night.

Tickets are now available via Fever’s app or website at prisonisland-indianapolis.com.

Brought to life by immersive entertainment specialists Make It Now and co-produced with Fever, the global live entertainment platform, Prison Island transforms for Halloween into a haunted world where guests become part of the story.

Starting Oct. 16 on exclusive nights only, darkness falls and eerie sounds haunt the halls of Prison Island as ghosts of the prison’s past return to their cells. The question is no longer whether you can beat the cells, but whether you can beat the horror.

This is much more than a traditional haunted house. Beyond the prison doors, more than 47 cells offer different tests of strength, strategy, speed, and skill. Teams of two to five players have 60 minutes to choose their own path to victory, moving cell to cell and deciding which challenges they want to take on. Every challenge earns points, every decision shapes the experience, and every team has the same goal: beat as many cells as possible to climb the leaderboard.

But during Horror Story, the cells are no longer the only thing teams have to worry about.

Bringing a new layer of storytelling, Horror Story transforms the prison from a place of competition into an immersive world of supernatural encounters. Teams will need to think fast and work together because when the ghosts arrive, only the bravest will survive.

Horror Story highlights

• The Prisoners Have Returned: Ghostly prisoners roam the prison, appearing when teams least expect them and bringing the story of Prison Island’s Horror Story to life after dark.

• Cells After Dark: The cells remain intact, but a sinister new atmosphere descends upon the prison as multiple senses are activated with dimmed lights and frightening sounds.

• Survive the Night: Teams must rely on communication, strategy, and memory as they attempt to conquer the challenges while faced with unexpected ominous barriers.

• New Night, New Horror: No two nights are the same as live performers and unscripted encounters take center stage. You never know what, or who, you might see next.

• Limited Time Only: Prison Island’s Horror Story is a limited-time transformation, meaning guests may only enter the haunted prison while the ghosts are still roaming …  at their own risk.

Three weekends to put your bravery to the test
