Ghosts and fun bring your team closer together.

- Throw any more axes
- Go bowling again
- Sit bored at a large group dinner

On this special evening, you and your team will have the perfect opportunity to get to know each other better! Your guide is well-versed in local culture, so you can expect a fun, engaging, and spooky event.
