The circus has come to a standstill – but the director isn’t giving up. In search of new talent, the Academy of Freaks is opening its doors once more. What begins as an extraordinary selection process soon turns into a grim ordeal full of madness and eerie encounters.
Amidst eerie trials, unsettling figures and the circus’s most bizarre attractions, you must prove that you have what it takes to join the Freak Show. But the further you progress, the clearer it becomes: not every applicant leaves the Academy the same person they were when they arrived.
Take on the challenge and find out whether you’ll become the next member of the Freak Show – or remain part of the circus forever.
Open only during Halloween Fright Nights. A reserved time slot is required.
