    Thank you so much for the very detailed survival guide. I’ve been searching EVERYWHERE for a reliable and explanatory one. However, I still have one question: Although it ends at 12.30am or 1.30am, will I have to expect to stay longer due to long queues or other circumstances? And although non-peak days seem to be the obvious better choice, some of my friends recommend going for peak days as the park closes later. What’s your take on this? What should I do?

    • Dejiki September 29, 2018 at 7:05 am #

      Higher attendance is expected during peak nights as most people would prefer to visit on those days (Fri/ Sat). Typically, if you don’t go for any of the rides and focus on haunted houses, you should be able to complete all of them if you are at the park from 7:00PM till 12:30AM.

    I found the secret room
    She pour something and even tell me to say few words

    One of the songs played was Cannibal by Kesha!

    no more merchandise??! 😱 Fine, I didn’t want a Stranger Things tshirt anyways 😭

    Ah they used a remix version of Power Glove for the opening! Always looking forward to hearing it every year. Kinda hope they had used the original version this year as well – and keep looping it, as per the theme of infinite fear. Haha.

    Hey, thanks for this helpful guide. We’ll be visiting from Hong Kong and we actually reserved the RIP Tour for Sunday, October 14th in fears that it’d be extremely busy and that we wouldn’t be able to get on everything, but it seems like the park wasn’t too busy even on a peak night. Do you think it’s even worth paying for the RIP Tour or should we take the chance and buy regular tickets and do standby?

    • Dejiki September 30, 2018 at 10:27 pm #

      Typically the event starts off with lighter crowds on an opening weekend (however the first peak night is an exception), and the event gets super popular sometime in the middle. You could go either way, but RIP Tour will ensure that you’ll have VIP access to all attractions, along with unlimited Express access after the tour. If it’s your first time visiting Singapore’s Horror Nights, I’d recommend you stick with the RIP Tour.

      The thing about pricing tickets by speculative demand is that the off-peak nights sometimes end up being more crowded than peak nights.

    Omg thank God for your scaremony song name. I was about to A-B record your video recording on YouTube. Have fun!

  9. Miko October 13, 2018 at 12:44 am #

    Would you say the weekend before halloween is less busy than now or next weekend since most Singaporeans who are interested will have gone already?

    • Dejiki October 13, 2018 at 7:01 am #

      This year the tickets are in the peak pricing format and it has been observed so far that off-peak (Thursdays) are extremely crowded because of the cheaper tickets. And yes, usually the hype and rush mellows down towards the end.

    In killuminati, i took the right path. before the room that has a woman dancing, there was a Y junction. I chose right again, it seems there was a door which color blending with the other wall. Is that the secret room? When i wanted to go inside, the staff wont allow me.

  11. Minea October 17, 2018 at 2:32 pm #

    Are the normal rides open to ride too? (like Cylon and human)

    • Dejiki October 17, 2018 at 8:03 pm #

      Yes you can find the full list of attractions in this article, just expand the list below the map.
