Great acting, great story, well worth it

whittington79, Oct 2025

Really enjoyed this. Im a bit claustrophobic so was nervous but its not that enclosed and there are plenty of lights that go on and off and actors around! Very well acted and good story. Be prepared to be touched and pushed around!

Thank You very much! :)

I had an incredible time...

I had an incredible time at Nightmare in Budapest! The actors were absolutely amazing, fully professional, completely in character, and they made every moment feel so real. The scares were intense and creative, with scenarios that kept me on edge the entire time. Highly recommended for anyone who loves horror and adrenaline!

It was sooooo much fun!

Zeljana_T, Jun 2025

The scary lady was really careful after I told her I had heart problems. That was very nice and I appreciate it.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank You so much! :)

Great scare experience in Budapest - Must see!

Kaydia_S, May 2025

Adults only due to some of the content but a very good scary experience We thorough enjoyed this! Very good and entertaining very jumpy and lost cases pitch black to bring the scare effect to reality! We were also left with small gifts and emailed videos captured from our experience to remember

STUARTMARTIN_D, Aug 2024

Cant really say as i an sure that it would spoil the experience that someone else will have when they go if they know what to expect But i can say that it is well worth a visit And the person at the reception was very helpful and explained everything to us well worth a visit

Brilliant and unique experience

Stuwade02, Mar 2022

What a brilliant and unique tour / experience. Myself and a friend had a very enjoyable 45 minutes on this unique tour most of which was in complete darkness so not for the faint hearted. The actors and host were also very professional. Excellent value for money!
