At the time, I was assigned to go pass out crayons to people outside the corn maze. Once my sister had found me, she was a mess from being hit by paintballs and not being protected. She was telling me of her experience when the owner came up to me and started shouting at me for talking to someone. I explained there was no one to pass out crayons to. He belittled me in front of everyone, and kept shouting, then finally kicked me out of the entire place. We got paid nothing, were mistreated and degraded.
We tried out both sides of the Escape Room. It was AWESOME!!!! We highly recommend it! The owners go above and beyond, to ensure a good time is had by all. We haven't tried the paintball yet, but plenty of our friends have, and had a great time. Reasonably priced, and you're just about guaranteed a fun time to remember! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
The zombies are forced into jumpsuits that are caked in mud and sweat; the protective masks they wear makes visibility completely zero and coat your head in dirt, leaves, and grime; and they only had knee pads. I was forced to strap ill fitting knee pads all over my body in hopes of being protected from paint balls. They only gave me 2 minutes to get ready, while being screamed at and rushed, and I was pushed into the forest with no direction and all of my gear falling off. I was so unprepared and not sure what to do or expect.
We posted reviews back on their Facebook when it first happened, but it looks like all the reviews there are gone. I hope no one will go there to work as a zombie ever again because the conditions were miserable and completely disgusting. I can only conclude that this is the reason that there are only a few zombies there in the forest. Unless their business has improved safety and working conditions for employees, please don't support these people.
Soon enough, paintballs were pummeling me, and I had no gear on as it had all fallen off during my trek uphill into the forest. I tried to cover myself with the surrounding objects to be safe, and because of this, even the "zombie hunters" on the trucks were cussing me out and threatening me and saying very disgusting things. I gave up and decided to find my way out of the forest because it was not safe. I had no idea how long my shift was, if I had to move around, I knew nothing except I was uncomfortable and in pain. Once I finally found my way out of the forest, the owner saw that I had left my station and proceeded to cuss me, my sister, and my friends out. Keep in mind we were all just young teenage girls who were confused and this man had no mercy. He cursed us out and forced us to leave the location for good. We didn't get paid a single cent even though we were there almost the whole day.
This place was pathetically unorganized, dangerous, and a sad excuse for a business. If you ever wondered why there was only about two zombies when you went, this is certainly why.
We walk into the tent and the protective equipment was falling apart and basically nonexistent. All they had were jumpsuits, and knee pads. We were yelled at to put knee pads everywhere they would fit, because there wasn't anything else that could protect our bodies. There were a few masks which had zombie faces glued to them. I tried to put one on, but nothing was visible. I couldn't see or breathe. I couldn't walk, and of course the knee pads had fallen so my body wasn't protected. Not to mention, everything was disgustingly old, damaged and full of dirt. We were yelled at and cussed at for taking too long, even though it had been just a few minutes. We just wanted to protect ourselves. I gave up, and left.
My sister and a friend attempted to go be a zombie. They were thrown into the forest alone with no idea of where to go or what to do. After the first few trucks came, they gave up and returned due to disastrous conditions.
I was told to come work as a zombie here by a family friend because she knew the owners. I came with my sister and a few friends. No one there knew what was going on when we arrived. We waited for over an hour, then were finally screamed at to run and get dressed to be a zombie.
Hi, everyone, sorry for the long review, I just want to share every detail for someone who is looking for an honest review.
I posted this review to their Facebook just a few hours after it happened, but now it appears the reviews are absent from their Facebook, so I just wanted to post it again to warn everyone.
We brought a group of 20 teenagers from about 2 1/2 hours away. It was a fun fall event. The group especially loved the Escape Room. The Zombie Hunt was fun. Wish there would have been many more zombies. Could have ramped up the fear factor a bit. The decorations on the trail of the zombie hunt were excellent.
Paula (one of the owners) was great about helping to plan the details for the night. Great communication leading up to the night. Very friendly and accommodating while we were there. Thanks Paula!
Me and a co worker went after work at Gull Meadow Farms (which is pretty much a friendly rival) and we had a blast. We talked about the farms and they were genuinely nice to us even though we were the competition. Also the events there were just fun ti begin with. Very nice people that run it and I will happily go again
I was hired here in the past to be a zombie and have never been treated with such disrespect and lack of concern from any person, let alone any establishment. Unless they've updated all of their gear and protocols since I worked there, I recommend you do not go due to the mistreatment of their employees.
