Ah Halloween, the time of haunted houses, horror movies and scandalous costumes.
It's a wonderful time of year. Seriously, what's better than horror movies and haunted houses that scare scantily clothed girl's right into your arms; it's like the amazing wing-man you never had.
Well, if you want to find out what it's like to be in an actual horror movie for Halloween this year, you're in luck. The Purge Breakout, the awesome escape game that debuted earlier this year, based on the Purge movies (you know that one where everyone has a free pass for one night to kill whoever they feel like), is back for a limited time only, to scare your pants off for Halloween.

Don't be fooled though dudes, this isn't your typical Halloween haunted house; it's completely interactive and not in the way where people jump out at you with chainsaws and pretend to saw your head off. Following the theme of the popular movies, it's the fateful purge night and you have to do your best to survive. Seriously though, you and five other people get trapped in the house of a psycho murderer and have 30 minutes to get your act together and solve puzzles, look for clues and escape the psycho's house before he kills you all. How lovely.

Don't worry, we're pretty sure that you don't actually die if you don't escape in the 30 minutes (that would just be a law suit waiting to happen), and word on the street is that there's a little red panic button inside just in case you can't handle the pressure (wimp).
If this sounds like the way you want to spend your Halloween night, then you better get a move on and get over there; once Halloween weekend is over, so is the Purge Breakout.
Well, it was nice knowing you.
