The Beaumont Studios

Shattered at the Beaumont on Halloween evening could have been a great event but was ruined by being poorly run. Highlights were some very well done visuals and decorations, adding the riddle to escape was a nice interactive touch to replace the live actors from previous years. Low points were: - The event was running behind and it felt like they were just rushing people in at the end of the night which resulted in minimal social distancing. Staff were accepting sales at the door while there were still people with booked times waiting in line. - We attended near the tail end of the night and the bar was closed with no notice and a number of staff were just sitting around talking and blocking areas which would have been good for pictures. They obviously saw us waiting to take a picture but chose to ignore us. - During the walkthrough twice we were asked to wait +15 minutes before being allowed to continue, once in a stairway/hallway with no room for social distancing. - One guest was fed up with waiting and tried to “escape” she was confronted by the “mad scientist” which resulted in shouting and pushing, she eventually found and walked out of an alarmed door. Witnessing the confrontation ruined the evening. Our entire group of 5 were disappointed in the event and would probably not return. If you plan on going next year I suggest on going slower weekday evening.

"Shattered at The Beaumont: A Wicked Walkthrough Experience" Oct 2020, is not what it is advertised to be. It's nothing like the marketing pictures posted online.. I was feeling bad for the staff who had to be in character esp. Mad Doctor and the Evil Scientist. 'Beaumont Studio' should really check before letting shows like this perform in there venue. Hype is not worth it. I'm sorry but the show is a very juvenile attempt at horror and a complete money grab 23$ for 1 ticket. Save your self the trouble of the "Clues".... CREATIVITY is the answer.. What a letdown.

Not a bad Halloween experience given that we're in the midst of a pandemic and they have special policies to adhere to. The sounds how was great, the ending skit got some laughs out of me. Was a good outing altogether.

So I’ll start with the positive, the staff were all lovely and friendly! The event was sold as being mind bending and illusions, so I was probably going into it with very different expectations of there being some cool visual trippy effects. The photos for the event marketing also alluded to this too. When you actually get there it’s unfortunately just a very cheaply done haunted house. They had a game where you have to collect symbols on your way round to decrypt into an answer that was kind of cool, and there was a good bit with a chucky looking doll in a corridor that was spooky, but the rest was just not great. If the ticket was 5-10 bucks and the description was more accurate it would be more acceptable, but at the price and what you get we were pretty disappointed and just wanted to get out of there. Hopefully next years will be better!

Went there for a movie night with friends three weeks ago. The event was nicely organized. Lovely outdoor setup while all covid guidelines were followed. Cute food and beverage truck with many options.
