Context
The House of the Gravekeeper is a unique horror-themed complex located in Toledo, just 25 minutes from Madrid, set in a remote, secluded area accessible only by a 500-meter dirt track. This one-of-a-kind venue features a grand mansion with over 18 rooms, a family-run museum, a massive cemetery with more than 200 graves, and a church where macabre rituals take place. The atmosphere is permanently enhanced by eerie Christmas decorations, creating a dark, unsettling mood that runs throughout the entire experience.
The Experience
The event begins with a horror-themed dinner served in a dimly lit, atmospheric setting, accompanied by a free bar offering sangria, beer, soft drinks, and water. After dinner, guests enter a multi-room escape game that winds through the mansion’s elaborate interiors, where sound effects and visual illusions heighten the tension. Next, participants journey through a terror-themed passage set in the enormous cemetery, complete with atmospheric lighting and immersive storytelling. The event concludes with a full-night party in the complex’s underground nightclub, lasting until early morning. The air carries a scent of damp wood and earth, blending with the adrenaline of the game.
Who It's For
This experience is ideal for small groups of friends or bachelor parties seeking a mix of dinner, puzzle-solving, and high-energy partying with minimal physical demands but strong mental and social challenges. Not recommended for people with limited mobility, children under 12, or those who prefer highly polished escape rooms or less intense environments.
