Ever wanted to build your own haunted attraction but didn’t have the space, money, resources, or time? Well, now you have all those things ready to go with your keyboard and mouse.
ScareZone: Haunted Tycoon Attraction released its first playable demo for the public on Steam after months of playtesting throughout different conventions, game festivals, and local pop-ups. But you can now experience the game for yourself!
There are 4 steps to getting your haunted attraction to look good:
Design Your Layout

Start with a blank space - a warehouse, a shuttered store, maybe even a soundstage - then transform it into a functional walkthrough haunted attraction. Create a layout with walls and a guest path, then fill every hallway and corridor with props, decor, and atmospheric touches that bring your sinister vision to life.
Engineer the Fear

Place actor scares and custom animatronics along the path using strategic timing and placement inspired by real haunt design mechanics. Chain scare and distraction combos, and dial in every room until guests are sprinting for the chicken exits. (Sorry, no refunds.)
Set the Stage

Dial up the atmosphere with ambient lighting and sound effects. Use custom show control sequences to sync lighting, animatronics, and scares. And of course, you can't forget fog, air cannons, or smells (did they say smells?).
Open the Gates!
Open your attraction and watch the spooky season chaos unfold as your team terrifies your visitors. But keep an ear on your walkie for security calls, maintenance needs and more (Watch out for the code V.) If you can prove yourself a creative and profitable haunter, bigger opportunities are on the horizon.
Scarezone: Haunted Attraction Tycoon will be released in 2027 on PC, but you can play the demo on Steam today.
