My review!😊

It was very fun and also very scary too go through. When I was crying and feeling unwell some broke character to ask if I was okay, and then went back to character which I found very nice. And only 15 dollars for that is also a plus. 5 stars I recommend.

Amazing Haunted House

It was so fun and I never knew what was going to happen next. There was something new around each corner. It’s well worth the money. There was a bit of a wait, but the haunted house isn’t short either, so it made up for it. Definitely plan to go again next year!

We had to wait to get in but Mayhem is definitely the wait! They periodically have actors come out to where we were waiting in line. This gave you an expectation of what you are going to experience inside. There’s something new and different around each corner and when you think there’s nothing there to scare you BOOM an actor scares the crap out of you. When you think the haunt is over you end up in another scare. Fantastic job Mayhem and look forward to next year!

Email Verified Just wow!

I would have to say that this was the best haunted house I’ve ever been too. You can tell that they put so much effort into it and it really paid off. The wait was a little long but they had refreshments and a movie playing so you didn’t get bored. They also had scare actors come in and scare us to get us ready for the haunted house. And for the wait it really didn’t matter because the price was very cheap and the haunted house was actually a lot longer than I expected. Just really an amazing cause and just a really good time all around. I hope the scare actors and people who put this haunted house on are very proud of themselves because they should be!

Extremely fun local haunt! Great maze and excellent scare actors! Some great engineering and endless volunteer hours to build it and keep it fresh from year to year! Absolutely worth the trip!! Benefits the local 4H as well, as a bonus! As a haunt addict who spends every fall hitting up many mazes (over 50 last fall alone), I'm proud this one is in my home town!!

I went through the haunt 4 times this year!! Each time it got better and better!! I know the creators have put many tireless hours in building this each year. The amount of actors that it takes to pull of this haunt is unbelievable. Adding the outside building was a well worth the money that they added to the price. The people working the front part the building before you get into the haunt are so nice and friendly and the fact that they totally give up their weekends is remarkable!! Top notch Haunt all the way around!!

Spook-tacular!

The intricate designs, paired with the energy filled actors made this haunted house experience one to remember. Just when you think you have it figured out, there's another victim of the explosion around the corner. Actors identifying the easier to scare customers is definitely key in providing the best scares. The actors stayed in character regardless of what you try to say to them. One girl just yelled at me to GOOOOO!!!! I already can't wait to do it again next year. Cheers to any and all involved in coordination and running of the Mayhem haunted house. And thank you for making Ottumwa recognized as #1!

Loved the rooms and effects! Tons of scares! Me and my two kids actually had a very obnoxious group of teens behind is that kind of ruined a portion of the walk. We let them pass us and a worker actually hung out with us in one of the rooms for a bit until they got farther ahead of us. That was really appreciated because we got the FULL effect after that. Another person we didn't even see in the room still gave a really good scare before we went on. Once you think it's over... It's not over! Highly recommend!!

Don’t waste your money on any other haunted house. This is the place to go. If you don’t think haunted houses are scary.. think again. You’ll be scared and you won’t be disappointed and it’s only $10 a person!

This is our family's second year going to Mayhem Haunted House. I enjoyed the friendly environment while we waited in line and got our tickets. And the inside was absolutely TERRORIFIC (see what I did there ;) ) not only was it horrifying when I parked but when I got in the amount of creativity and SCARIFYING (last one I promise lol) skills these volunteers had I wanted to go back but was too scared too and out of breath. Just WOW, I can't wait to see what they have in store for next year!! Halloween is not long enough!

Email Verified My favorite haunted house

Halloween is my favorite holiday. So naturally we have went to many haunted houses. This has been my favorite for several years. The detail they put into decorations,props, and makeup is extraordinary. The haunt itself is one of the longer ones I’ve been to in several years. You wait inside only with access to bathrooms. The money goes back to the 4H in Wapello county so that makes it all the better. I wish I could do a walk through at the end of the season just to admire the pure art they put into each and every room. Each year they come up with something new and they never fail to impress me. It’s the one haunted house I would not miss this year. I went through 38 weeks pregnant!

Email Verified Scary enough I peed twice!

Was looking forward to this haunted house & it met all my expectations! The first thing that made me scream & pee my pants was the blow gun that puffed air on me! Then the physco room with bridge & moving walls definitely got me sick & dizzy! Great scares & bad words were said! Can't wait til next year! Here's an idea for the photo before you go in.... have someone scares them then take that picture! Would be priceless!

This is an amazing haunt! It’s in an old county home/mental institute and so you never know what is lurking in front, behind or beside you. It takes about a half hour to go through! You have different rooms, hallways and more to travel through. Don’t want to giveaway what’s waiting for you inside and out! If you don’t get scared at least once they aren’t doing their job.

This was the best haunted house I’ve ever been to. It was very scary. The trippy tunnel at the end was a perfect way to end it. They had so much detail in every room and some terrifying costumes/makeup. I had so much fun that I’m planning on going back again next weekend.

I’ve traveled most of Iowa visiting different types of haunts. This is Hands Down the BEST one I’ve came across! The line is long but very much worth the wait! They have a concession stand inside with snacks and drinks. The line is also inside out of the weather. Great job by these volunteers!!
