Austin, Texas

Every once and a while you come across something unique, Ecopocalypse certainly qualifies. This non-linear attraction portrays the world after an ecological collapse of the planet. Think Mad Max without Tina Turner.All the usual cliches are missing. No demons, no zombies, no vampires, no chainsaws.... The lighting is a couple of notches above dim so you can see your surroundings and the actors. The actors will try to engage you with semi-scripted dialogue intended to drive the narrative and guide you through the attraction. There are lots of startle scares and some blood used.
During the pre-admission introduction, (No touching, No running, etc...) visitors are told that there is no one way to find your way out of the show. Customers are encouraged to explore the Ecopocalypsean world and that back tracking to see the entire venue is a good idea. A wrist band presented upon ticket purchase entitles you to multiple trips though the labyrinth that evening.
The attraction is one part haunted house and one part interactive dinner theatre (minus the dinner). At $20 admission this haunt is a good deal. Located one block off the infamous 6th Street in Austin it is easy to put together a fun evening that include scares, food, and live music.
