Before I start, I understand this place isn’t known for their escape rooms, but thats what I went for. So, being a horror based building, I’d think they have a pretty damned good horror escape room, and they have one based off of 1408, the movie from the 2000s? Sick. However, when I arrived I noticed the escape room wasn’t really its own room, just a series of 8 foot walls with no ceiling, meaning you could hear everything going on outside, including other escape rooms, haunted house noises, and other guests. This really breaks the immersion of an already failed attempt at being spooky. The room itself is quite dark and dull, and you only get one flashlight (which we had to get replaced halfway through due to batteries). With all that being said - the staff and gamemaster are all very kind and personable people, so thats a plus, it just sucks that the experience was a letdown.

I had a good time. Don't do the museum part it's a waste. And I didn't get to go to the maze. It was late and rather went home. If you decide to go show up early because the line is worse than six flags. But everyone waits and has a good time unless you purchase fast pass

Genesis Cordero | Sep 30, 2019

Only if you are wearing a glow in the dark necklace which they supply. At anytime you decide to no longer participate, they tell you to remove the necklace and throw it on the floor and you will no longer be touched.

You don't need to print them out. There's a QR code that is sent to you with the receipt, just open that and they'll scan it. It's the only ticket you'll need, no need to wait in any ticket lines which can get long.

How scary is the asylum

Peter Pietras | Sep 30, 2018
JAK fromNJ | Sep 30, 2018

Totally depends on your ability to handle this. I can say that my wife and I are big fans. However, we took guests (13, 16 and 18 years old) and they had to exit early because it was too much for them. If you like it scary, it is great. They also have different options. No touch at all as well as CONTACT nights!!!!!!!

How old do u have to b

Melissa Danielski | Sep 30, 2018
Mariah (Noods) | Sep 30, 2018

There is no age restriction. However, due to the graphic nature, it is not recommended for small children, toddlers or babies. We also have a strict “no carrying children” policy.  We have had young children go through and have a great time and adults who go through and are in tears! You’re the parent- you be the judge. A good rule of thumb is: if you wouldn’t bring your child to a PG-13 rated movie, it’s probably not a good idea to bring them to a haunted house.

By touching, does that include them possible hurting you? I saw a trailer for the asylum and seen someone being dragged, grabbed by the neck and even held down to a chair. This is not the case is it?

Kimberly Jimenez (KVE'S CO) | Sep 30, 2019
Maria Vytinidou | Sep 30, 2019

Depending on the character. I was wearing a glow necklace which means touching is allowed. If you don't wear it, they don't touch you. One was petting my hair. Other one grapped my shoulder and one pulled & hold me up in the air for a sec and put me down again. Nothing super scary. I don't think that character will try to do it with bigger/heavier guys though haha. Oh, but you are not allowed to touch the actors.

If you go on brightonasylum.com, you can view the calander and see what event is going on and which atttactions they have. If you decided to do all of the attractions (which I HIGHLY recommend) you canneasily spend a good 2-3 hours in this place. On a regular night with one attraction, you can spend a little over an hour. At least for me I can because I'm always getting freaked out and falling all over the place. Its worst it, trust me! The haunts are amazing and if you are with the right group of people, you can go at your own pace and live it up!
