About This Game

Produced by a team with decades of experience in haunts and themed entertainment, ScareZone is a creative tycoon game that lets you turn an empty warehouse or field into a world of horrors. Design a walkthrough haunt layout, fill it with atmospheric lighting, audio, and decor - then hire a talented crew of scare actors and unleash your twisted creation upon the general public. 

Start with a blank space - a warehouse, a shuttered store, maybe even a soundstage - then transform it into a functional walkthrough haunted attraction. Create a layout with walls and a guest path, then fill every hallway and corridor with props, decor, and atmospheric touches that bring your sinister vision to life.

Place actor scares and custom animatronics along the path using strategic timing and placement inspired by real haunt design mechanics. Chain scare and distraction combos, and dial in every room until guests are sprinting for the chicken exits. (Sorry, no refunds.)

Dial up the atmosphere with ambient lighting and sound effects. Use custom show control sequences to sync lighting, animatronics, and scares. And of course, you can't forget fog, air cannons, or smells (did they say smells?). 

Open your attraction and watch the spooky season chaos unfold as your team terrifies your visitors. But keep an ear on your walkie for security calls, maintenance needs and more (Watch out for the code V.) If you can prove yourself a creative and profitable haunter, bigger opportunities are on the horizon.

ScareZone is created by (spooky) humans. We've collaborated with dozens of talented artists, scare actors, 3D modelers, voice actors, sound designers and more from across the haunting industry to make this game a reality. We love haunting, we love tycoon games - and we're working hard to bring them together.

Game Highlights

  • First person POV — Step into your guest's shoes and experience your wicked creation from eye level

  • Economy — Balance General Admission and Front-of-Line ticket prices with actor pay, attraction maintenance, and nightly rent

  • Amenities — Fill your midway with snack stands, gift shops, bars, and more to increase revenue. Oh, and bathrooms. (You didn't forget bathrooms, did you?)

  • Reputation — Impress VIP visitors and influencers to build buzz for your attraction

  • Seasonal loop — Build, open, haunt, repeat. Every season is a chance to go bigger and scarier

  • Career Mode and Sandbox — start your spooky empire from the ground up or just build creatively with no restrictions
