OK Guys, time to do some productive thinking!!!
There are usually a couple 3 day (weekend) Fall Festivals in most locations.
They are mostly daytime programs geared towards families.
I am looking for something we can put into the festival that would be a promotional tool for the haunt. Here's some points I was considering:
*either a low admission ($1-$2) to help recoup cost or free if the investment cost is nominal
*easy set up- you will be busy with your attraction and the festivals usually don't give you much time
*little manpower- you don't want to burn out your haunt actors or have to pay too many people
*more cute and "Halloweeny" as opposed to scary
*involves the audience, like a maze, to promote return usage (That's cool let's do it again!! OR I missed that, can I do it again??)
I was thinking along the lines of a haybale maze but at $8-9 a bale it could be quite pricing and labor intensive to set up. ( I would want to make it at least 3 bales high, then what to do with the bales after???)
You could do something along the line of an Adventure Maze, you print up a page where they have to find certain clues in the maze, you have a coupon on the bottom or back of the page.
Has anyone done any other maze type structure that was kid friendly and "set-up" friendly???
Even though it is for the younger kids, you have signage that says it's sponsored by "Your Haunted House" and you hand out special coupons so it's a promotional gig. If the unit is portable enough you could even use it at your actual haunt in season as either something for the little kids or in conjuction with a daylight tour.
OK..... Ready, Set, THINK!!!! What ideas are lurking out ther in those weirdly wonderful minds????
