Haunted attraction operators ran denser schedules, guests expected instant, mobile-first booking, and peak scare nights demanded systems that would not fail under pressure.
Millions of guests and visitors passed through FEARTICKET-powered haunted houses, escape rooms, Krampus trails, ghost tours, immersive horror attractions, and seasonal scare experiences this year. To support that intensity, we rebuilt core systems, released high-impact revenue tools, and refined the experience end-to-end, from first click to final scan.
The result: the most ambitious upgrade cycle in FEARTICKET’s history.
No matter the format: haunted houses, escape rooms, live scare attractions, farm-based Halloween trails, immersive horror exhibits, or city-wide fright events, every update released this year was engineered around one goal:
Help you sell faster, operate cleaner, and deliver unforgettable fear without friction.
Before diving into the story, here are the numbers that defined 2025 on FEARTICKET:

Attraction Setup & Design: Build Immersive Scare Pages Faster
Improved Event Template Design Experience
Designing attraction pages became faster, cleaner, and more controlled in 2025.
We reorganized the Template Design interface to give operators a focused editing workflow using pop-up editors for every major module.
You now get instant access to:
- Attraction page styling
- All content controls under “Other Parts of Your Event”
- Centralized management of Terms, Instructions, and post-visit messaging
Your entire scare presentation is now predictable, centralized, and easy to adjust — even mid-season.
Design Your Attraction Page Your Way
Operators can choose between:
- Basic Editor for fast, guided setup
- Advanced Editor for full creative control over immersive experiences
Both paths are designed to build high-conversion scare pages without external designers.

Generate atmospheric banners instantly using AI prompts, or let AI write the prompt for you.
