A Ghoulishly Fun and Spooky Haunted House
Descend into the chilling depths of our haunted house, where the monstrous Minotaur, a nightmarish fusion of man and bull, has been imprisoned by the Greek Gods at the center of the labyrinth of ancient legend.
Your daunting quest unfolds as you help the valiant Warrior Theseus, tasked with a harrowing mission: to rescue the Minotaur’s human captives before they are devoured by the hideous beast.
But the peril doesn’t end there; you must also navigate the labyrinth’s twisting passages and unearth its secrets to find a means of escape. It’s an A-MAZE-ing adventure!
Dare you embark on this treacherous journey through the heart of the labyrinth and face the Minotaur’s horrifying presence?
