Do not park in neighboring retail lots. They tow.
The building is the former Impact Hub Honolulu, Ward side of Kakaʻako, at 1050 Queen Street, Suite 100. Whole Foods Market at Ward Village is a short walk. I would go there after if I want food and a normal lit lot.
What to expect
You go through in groups of 8. Plan on about 25–35 minutes. It is a haunted house plus escape-room puzzles.
Inside: fog, strobe, dark, and profanity. Actors get close. They do not intentionally touch guests. Do not touch the actors. Do not touch the props.
Phones, photos, video, and flashlights are banned inside the quarantine zone. Put the phone away before you go in.
The line outside can be 100 people or more. Once you are indoors, the weather does not matter.
They advertise a 4.9 from 1,500+ Google reviews. That is their advertised rating. It is not a number I measured.
Go if you are 10 or older and you are fine with the dark, the fog, the strobes, the language, and actors standing close.
Skip it with little kids. The age line is 10 and up. If you need help with access, senses, a medical condition, or an assistive device, speak with staff before you enter.
2026 vs 2025
I went opening weekend. I also did 2025. That one was Maison de Chair.
Staff said they had a year of practice. My take: this year is bigger. It is longer. The actors are tighter. It is about twice the 2025 experience.
