The Grimoire

Grimoire! Grimoire!

They really skipped all pre maze show that filled you into the idea of the maze. They really just pushed you through because they over sold the nights

While a highlight during its inaugural year, the sophomore year for Grimoire was disappointing for me because they took away the theatrical introduction. Without it, the story loses its foundation, making it a confusing mess for those who wander through it. It still boasts impressive set and sound design, but a book without its beginning makes for a confusing read.

Like this maze but I think it's time for a refresh. Takes time to go through, great sets and props.

The first time I experienced this maze it was cool. The actors in the preshow were always exciting to watch and it was giving a Stranger Things vibe. There’s a bit of time traveling as you transition through each space and it was fun to experience as a whole. I don’t know what was wrong this year because it didn’t feel the same. The set designs were great but also a bit bland because of the theme they were going for. There was really no “Wow” factor. The energy of the maze ramped down towards the end. I don’t know what was going on in the maze that night because we were at a standstill a few times and we could tell it made the Scareactors and actors feel awkward and it kinda ruined the mood. Don’t be discouraged from this review, it’s still a fun maze. Pay attention to the great storytelling.

The Grimoire is one of my favorites a strange camping scene gone wrong. The story isn’t all that clear but it’s still awesome. They had a great opening scene the first year but fast tracked it a bit this year to control flow. That being said it was still fun and really cool outdoor vibes. There are some light gunshot sounds so if that’s a trigger be aware.

Incredible example of immersive storytelling in a walkthrough theme park haunted attraction. Sure it’s not as long or in depth as a fully developed hour long immersive show, but for the type of attraction they really thought outside of the box and made an incredible piece of entertainment.
