Ghosts and fun bring your team closer together.

When looking for specific venues to host your group, it can be quite challenging. And the last thing you want is another work event that feels more like a chore than a fun activity.

- Throw any more axes
- Go bowling again
- Sit bored at a large group dinner
Experience The City's Haunted Past with Your Entire Team
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.
