This year for the annual haunted house I served as the overall lead for the project. In this role I oversaw the entire story in each room to create a fully immersive experience for guests to get them to feel like they have been transported into the world we created.

The theme for this year are the Purge movies. With this theme as the project lead along with storyline developer, I did research on what exactly happens in these films and why. In this process I sought to understand the motives behind why the Purge was created in the first place along with why people partake in it. After this research I created a storyline, that was strengthened thanks to the help from my team, that dives into what it really means to "purge". In this experience guests are transported into a house that is marketed as protection on purge night. This is because the guests are believed to have never participated in the purge and they decide to hide every year. To there surprise everything goes terribly wrong as the purge alarm sounds to start the night and the killing commences. In this experience guests become very confused by why this is happening like they would be if it was real and while they try to escape multiple jump scares and deadly scenes are taking place all around them. Finally at the end guests come face to face with the executives that are running this "protection" company and it is revealed that the entire night they have tried to force guests into partaking in the purge by giving them no choice but to kill or be killed in every room. Ultimately, these executives give guests one last chance to kill in cold blood as they believe is the only way to cleanse the soul due to many years of purging. To this a hidden actor refuses still which results in their ultimate demise that then signals guests to run out the house finally escaping the purge.
