Those looking for a fun Halloween show will find one in the Serendipity sim, where a haunted house ride awaits to take people through it’s corridors.The sign over the house reads “The Greatest Halloween Ride in the World - EVER!” This over-the-top exaggeration aside, the haunted house is a very good one. The few times I was here, the exhibit was always a bit crowded. So one will have to wait for a while for everything to rez, notably the ride seats of which once someone sits on them, they will began to slowly move down the track after a few seconds. It is recommended that visitors set their viewers to midnight, switch off music and make sure sound effects are on, stay in the seat, and for the best view go to mouselook
The “twenty rooms of terror” offer much to scare the visitors. For over fifteen minutes, one will be taken through graveyards, swamps, rickety buildings, monster habitats, hellish caverns of lava, and other scenes. As I went down the track, I could overhear (via type) couples on dates ahead “shriek” at the sights and laugh nervously. At the entry/exit area, there are a few freebies one can get, including a Halloween flag and some virtual candy.The ride is at Serendipity (175, 100, 28) and will be up until November 5
While haunted houses are full of things that bop up as if to say “boo,” other places are more subtle in their spookiness. The Bentham Forest, also known as the Bentham Haunted Dark Forest, is among those. The sim is dark and foreboding, with dim lights making one wonder if something is out there looking upon them.The place is highly detailed, with paths one can go down, or off them if more daring. With many places to look around in, there are some secrets to uncover. I heard there were some quests that could be found there to complete, though I have yet to find them. Still, this spooky sim is a fun and scary place to explore on Halloween.
The sim is at Wasted Night (79,117, 25).Bixyl Shuftan
