To allow touching...for extra scare effect. Nothing hurtful.
They hand out optional red "glow stick" hoops to wear around your neck. This signals to the actors that you give permission to be touched, and even taken aside briefly for a 1/1 encounter. Like lying on a gurney. Its brief and doesnt separate you from your group. I recommend for anyone nervous they pocket one and watch others do it. (75+% wear one). Its not that big a deal. And would be a shame to pass on wearing once they see its harmless fun and enhances the experience. Have fun!
It allows the actors to touch you and send u down different passages. They give you the option at the start. Doesnt cost anything extra.
You can be wisked away from your group but only for a short time. It might not be good for younger ones or people really scared.
