Terror Roulette, New Interactive Horror Experience, Makes Its Debut This Fall in the Chicago Area

Horror aficionados are invited to give in to fate and gamble their lives away 

 The Arboretum of South Barrington in partnership with IWG Productions, a pioneer in immersive entertainment, will debut Terror Roulette this Fall. This spine-tingling haunted house challenge will embrace intimate immersive fear, plunging guests into a nightmare they won’t soon forget. The unpredictable Terror Roulette will shuffle up Illinois’ horror offerings beginning Sept. 29 for a limited time through Halloween.  

Designed for horror fans, this event thrusts participants wishing to test their fate into an interactive story where they become the selected victims of a bloodthirsty secret society. At the heart of this bone-chilling experience is the enigmatic villain known as “The Dealer” who literally holds all of the cards. The Dealer presides over a sinister realm, filled with a host of maniacal slayers, each with their own killer specialty.  

Terror Roulette combines heart-pounding challenges with the thrill of an ever-changing narrative. Groups of eight guests will be separated and reshuffled as they face different challenges. Some may even be forced to face their fears alone. Each card assigned by The Dealer will expose the guests to the lurking horrors awaiting them in the next room.  

Guest safety at Terror Roulette is a top priority. Guests will be required to sign a waiver before entering and if the experience becomes too overwhelming, safe words will be issued, allowing guests to terminate their terror.  

“Prepare to face The Dealer and his cadre of assassins as they unleash a new night of fright that will push guests to their limit,” said Jeffrey Holmes of IWG Productions. “Terror Roulette blends adrenaline, suspense and vile acts, to create an immersive environment for those seeking an unparalleled thrill. Because The Dealer, just like fate, is fickle, no two visits will be the same.”  

“We are thrilled to host the immersive new Terror Roulette experience at The Arboretum this year,” said Cory Born, general manager for The Arboretum. “Visitors will have the chance to indulge in a new dimension of Arboretum Halloween activities while also enjoying our array of shopping, dining and entertainment opportunities.”  

Terror Roulette will be available for a limited time starting Sept. 29 - Oct. 31 running Thursdays through Sundays, extending through Halloween. Tickets are available at TerrorRoulette.com. Book early to secure a place in the ultimate horror adventure.  

Hours are as follows:

Thursdays = 7P to 11P 

Fridays = 7P to Midnight 

Saturdays = 6P to Midnight 

Sundays = 6P to 11P  

Monday, Oct 30 and Tuesday Oct 31st = 7P to 11P
