Sometimes, fear is the biggest motivator in life. The feeling pushes our adrenaline levels into overdrive to force us to do what we need to do to get the euphoria from surviving the fear. Other times, people want to get that dose of fear in their lives just to feel something. In any case, there is no need to look far and wide for that hit, as Manila has its own fair share of fear-inducing attractions that you can visit with your friends.
Mystery Manila
The first on our list is Mystery Manila, a breakout room filled to the brim with puzzles and riddles alike. Team up with a group of friends to figure your way out of the rooms and uncover the mystery that plagues each of the rooms.
Both branches come with a different set of stories to solve and adventures to go on.
Mystery Manila can be found either in Eastwood Mall in Quezon City or in Century City Mall in Makati City. Alternatively, you can also book rooms at https://www.mysterymanila.com/
Breakout Philippines
Similar to Mystery Manila, Breakout Philippines presents another roster of rooms and plotlines for challengers to try and gather their wits to escape before the 45 minutes are over. Will you be able to make it out alive?
Breakout Philippines is available for bookings at https://breakout.com.ph/escaperooms.php or visit their branches either at Shangri-La Plaza in Mandaluyong City or in their Alabang Town Center branch in Muntinlupa City.
Zombie Assault
If you would prefer matching fear with a real-life shooting game experience, then the Zombie Assault attraction from Asylum Manila is the right pick for you and your friends. Enter an arena swarming with zombies, and face them all down with nothing but your paintball guns and your lives.
This experience is located in Nightmare Manila in Parañaque City, Manila.
Nightmare Manila’s Haunted House Attractions
One of the more masthead attractions in Nightmare Manila are their haunted house attractions. Rather than trying to escape the rooms, victi— visitors have to go through all the rooms and face down corridors upon corridors of ghouls, demons, dolls, and everything in between for a full haunted house experience.
Currently, Nightmare Manila offers two attractions for visitors to experience. One is called the Nightmares Haunted Attraction, while the other is called the Haunted School House. Each attraction offers a unique plot that is sure to keep attraction-goers engaged the whole time.
Both Nightmare Manila’s Haunted Attraction and Zombie Assault experiences are located in Nightmare Manila in Parañaque City, Manila.
Intramuros After Dark
To round out our list of spooks, the realest one of them all would be Intramuros After Dark. While it’s not exactly a haunted attraction or something that’s MEANT to be scary, it’s an experience that brings both history buffs and self-proclaimed ghost hunters together.
Go through a 4-hour walkthrough guided tour of Intramuros from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m.Here, you’ll be exposed to the rich history that can be found in the walled city. This includes both historical facts and urban legends that have graced the city over time. Who knows, maybe you might see one of those legends become more than just stories.
