Nerves of steel are needed for the new immersive horror experience coming to Bluewater.

Trapped Down South, which comes to the shopping centre on Friday, April 28, has a set up resembling the most terrifying of horror movies where the daring and fearless who enter are the stars, or rather, the victims, pitting their wits against mind numbing puzzles and elaborate clues to make it out alive and avoid being trapped.

Groups of six work against the clock to complete their mission.

There are two initial rooms to choose from: Jigsaw, and Cabin Fever. In the Jigsaw room, players are locked away in a makeshift torture chamber within the sinister world of The Judge, a prolific serial killer who has escaped from prison. Famous for subjecting his victims to a grotesque ‘purity’ test known as the Jigsaw, there is one hour on the clock to solve the Jigsaw or be forced to face The Judge.

In Cabin Fever, a night of camping turns into a nightmare as a group of bloodthirsty locals have kidnapped a member of the group – the one with the car keys. The only way to get home is embark on a terrifying journey through the savage’s cabin in the woods to find the captive friend. But are they lying in wait?

Trapped Down South is a 4D gaming experience created by horror attraction experts House of the Dead, led by Richard Cottier and Sally Duguid. Horror expert and director of House of the Dead Ltd Richard Cottier said: “I’m immensely proud of the achievements that I and the team made with House of the Dead and Trapped. Escape rooms have become incredibly popular in recent years, but we can promise an experience like no other. Trapped Down South is not for the fainthearted and we bring a wealth of experience in horror attractions to terrify anybody brave enough to take part”.

The experience is suitable for ages 12 and over with parental discretion for anyone under 15. It will be open from Thursday to Sunday, with sessions lasting up to an hour. Groups of four cost £65. For details visit houseofthedead.com
