Frequently Asked Questions

We’re an archive and community resource focused on Extreme Haunt experiences—documenting shows, collecting reviews, and helping participants understand what to expect before they step inside.

Extreme Haunts are defined here as any immersive horror experience that incorporates physical elements beyond light touch.

Go to the Archive, choose a haunt and show, and click Review. You’ll need to sign in with your Google account first. Reviews are stored centrally and displayed on the show’s page.

Publicly—yes. Reviews are shown without your identity. Internally, we store your account’s email and name to prevent abuse (like multiple reviews on the same show) and to let admins moderate if needed.

Our iconography maps to:

• 1 – Rotting: very negative experience
• 2 – Worn: below average
• 3 – Cracked: mixed/average
• 4 – Clean: strong positive experience
• 5 – Crystal: outstanding, exceptional

Sign-in prevents spam, lets us limit one current review per account per show, and improves moderation. Your public review remains anonymous to other users.

The site should refresh automatically after a successful sign-in. If it doesn’t:

• Hard refresh the page (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + R).
• Make sure your browser allows third-party cookies for Google sign-in.

You may edit and/or change your rating for any reviews by hitting the Review Button again. For deletion requests, contact us via Contact Us.

We enforce community guidelines and remove content that is doxxing, hateful, threatening, or clearly fabricated. Admins can remove individual reviews or bulk-clear spam from a show/haunt.

We curate new entries regularly. If we’re missing something, send details via Contact Us and we’ll review it for inclusion.

When you review, we store: your Google account email and name, which haunts/shows you’ve reviewed, your review text, rating, and a hashed IP for abuse control. Public pages never show your identity.

No—reviews are personal experiences and opinions. Extreme haunts can involve physical and psychological risks. Research organizers’ content warnings and waivers, and make informed decisions.

Use Contact Us and include links/screenshots. We’ll review and follow up.

Show descriptions are explicitly pulled from the haunts website, socials, or other published media by the haunt. These can also be submitted directly to us by the creator through Here

No we require physical actor-participant contact to qualify for being listed.
