Halfway to Halloween!!

It’s hard to believe that it’s already a few days past “Halfway to Halloween”, that amazing time of year when those who love all things Halloween celebrate the 6-month mark for anticipation. For some, “Halfway to Halloween” is a time to start planning and is a calendar reminder of everything that needs to be done before the BIG DAY. For us, this year is the marker of having been busy for 2 months already and 5 months from the beginning of something NEW, EXCITING, and even BIGGER than before.

We’ve already been busy with this year’s Not-So-Spooky Haunted House plans and creative props for two months and have kept the theme under wraps long enough. We will take you on a Not-So-Spooky trip to Egypt with a festive Halloween Holiday flair! But, it’s even BIGGER than that!!

Perhaps the BIGGEST NEWS is that because of the enormous growth we’ve seen year on year and the risks and responsibilities associated, which we take very seriously, we’ve decided to go from a backyard haunt to a commercial venue. We will be open even more days, have MORE space and props, and can host more of you without the weather dampening or freezing out the fun!

Part of what helped us to decide this was attending the February 2025 TransWorld Halloween, Christmas, and Escape Room trade show and seminars in St. Louis, Missouri. It brought to light what we can and should do to ensure those who love our Not-So-Spooky Haunted House at Halloween and Christmas Eye Spy Adventure are safe and enjoy our events even more. We were already leaning into improving our events, especially regarding weather and safety. Still, between the two dozen workshops we attended, discovering new friends, and finding mentors in an industry that supports each other and has fun, we knew we had something special that we could grow with staff and space to be EVEN BETTER! Drum roll, please. I am pleased to present QUEST WORLD FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT!

At Quest World, you can expect all the same goodness – no jump scares, but a little creepy fun at Halloween, Christmas Magic without cold weather dampening the fun, same crazy big hearts and growth into something NEW! No, it’s not Easter. You’ll have to stay tuned for the formal unveiling. LOL.

Right now, we are busy setting up policies & procedures, building relationships with vendors, and creating some smaller props for Halloween. We’re excited to bring others on board to help us make our events even more accessible and create even more memories with you. Of course, we are actively looking for an appropriate commercial space to call home for this crazy, fun adventure. I’m holding space for the right place as we begin our search next week. I can’t wait to find it and build Quest World to share the family fun with you!!

Happy Halfway to Halloween!
