WAKALA´S WONDERLAND
Grim's Funhouse
Grim and his troupe of crazy clowns have come up with a new idea for luring even more victims into the funhouse.
Following the success of the freak show, Grim wants to expand his repertoire to offer entertainment for all the family. He believes that his imaginary friend Wakala is the perfect person to help him achieve this!
Welcome to Wakala’s Wonderland!
EXODUS
Unknown
It seems as though the unknown spacecraft is repairing itself as if it were a living, breathing organism.
Some members of our investigation team are still inside. Some are desperately clinging to their humanity, while those who were first to succumb to the infection have already died. Their bodies have been grotesquely deformed by forces beyond their control. The longer they remain on the ship, the less human they become.
The choice of who can be saved and who must be sacrificed to the ship’s controls lies with you. But be warned: every decision you make comes at a cost.
Time is running out. The ship’s energy is growing stronger, and it could take off at any moment.
Will you escape the ship alive, or will it refuse to let you go?
LAST DESCEND
Tarot House
The Tarot House was once a place full of fascination and mystery, but it is now a cursed crypt, haunted by Madame Monroe and her coven. Her tarot readings were once said to hold great power, but they were also a trap. Those seeking answers were merely sacrifices for dark rituals.
When she opened the gates of hell, she expected to gain control of the demons she had summoned. Instead, she unleashed destruction, and as punishment, her soul was bound to the house.Although the demons’ rule over their former empire, it is the vengeful spirits of the witches who are hungry for new souls to welcome into their eternal prison.
It’s time to face your fate one last time.
As you descend into the swamp of the damned and wade through its waters, which are clung to by tormented souls, you come face to face with the demon Ferryman. He has the power to seal your fate.
Will your soul be valuable enough to be spared for the demons’ future plans, or will you be trapped in Madame Monroe’s clutches forever?
ELEANOR RETURNS
Cinema Macabre
Eleanor returns to draw her guests even deeper into the heart of horror. Cinema Macabre is no ordinary cinema, and the new feature film, ‘Rotters Attack!’, promises to get the adrenaline pumping, providing Eleanor with the fear she needs to grow stronger.
HIDE AND SEEK
The Hill
The sinister forces lurking on The Hill are becoming increasingly threatening. Recent discoveries have revealed the presence of dark, forbidden magic – proof that a powerful witch has summoned the legendary Night Stalker – but to what end?
It is not only he that every living being should fear – other unspeakable creatures lurk, waiting to play their deadly game of hide and seek. The Hill is full of secrets – secrets that may already have cost some their lives.
Will you find them before it’s too late – or will they find you first?
DEATH RACE
Murderdome
Even after all the relentless battles, glorious victories and devastating losses, you still haven’t had enough.
You thought you could escape them. But they’ve been waiting for you. And they’re watching you. This time, you can’t hide behind a weapon – you’re defenceless against them! Rest assured: The Wasted are getting closer than you’d like.
Are you ready for another round in the arena?
ATTENTION: YOU WILL BE TOUCHED IN THIS ATTRACTION!

The 2024 Traumatica Scare Attractions
Freak Show
Grim's Funhouse
Come closer, come closer, the freaks are in town! Grim and his gang are not deterred by all the events at the festival. Quite the opposite: their hunger for entertainment and fun is greater than ever. New victims are required and, as we all know, the definition of fun is always in the eye of the beholder. What will attract new and more visitors to the Funhouse? A freak show. The decision was made quickly and there were more than enough freaks at the festival. First locked up and then driven mad, they are sent into the arena to the delight of Grim.
Outbreak
Unknown
The investigators on the spaceship Unknown still have their hands full. Now that the spaceship has been saved from the explosion, there is still a big problem. The aliens have made themselves at home and are not planning to leave. And that’s not all. After the first investigators contracted a virus during the last mission, it is spreading. It cannot be stopped without help. Anyone who dares to enter the spaceship automatically becomes part of the rescue team: can the developed antidote be distributed via the spaceship’s ventilation system before it’s too late?
Hells Gate
Tarot House
Dark forces have always surrounded Tarot House. After Madame Monroe had sacrificed enough people, she and her inner circle were finally able to summon the demon she had wished for as an ally. But at what cost? The opening of the Gates of Hell causes Traumatica and the underworld to merge. Demonic forces take over Tarot House and everyone inside. The demon turns out not to be the ally that Madame Monroe had so eagerly longed for.

Rise of Eleanor
Cinema Macabre
Eleanor – a creation of the Shadows, had found her new home in the Wax Museum last year. Made to make the victims tremble with fear and then to extract the adrenalin-fuelled blood for her masters. She found pleasure in her task and grew beyond herself – the hunger for adrenaline caused her power to grow immeasurably. The Wax Museum is history and a new place has been created. Eleanor shows no mercy. Welcome to Cinema Macabre!
The Hill
It seems as if the walls between the human world and the darkness are collapsing. After a huge wedding party, the family reunion and one or two unplanned grooms joining the Hill Billy family, the inhabitants of Petting Zoo have also left. There was no longer enough space for the extended family. However, the uninhabited area did not remain empty for long. We don’t know what exactly lives there, we only know one thing: IT takes children with it and leaves devastated parents behind.
End Games
Murderdome
Cannon shots, screams, the loud sound of metal crashing together. The Resistance had no chance against the Rotters and the volunteer supporters had also failed and become fodder. They were born from the ashes of the venerable Resistance and returned with their youthful recklessness and heavy artillery: The Wasted. A gang of untamed punks, always in search of thrills and always ready to give everything they’ve got in the fight for freedom. The only thing you have to lose is your life. The Wasted have created their own sadistic arena and it’s bigger than you might imagine.
Studio -13
And action! What better opportunity than a festival to find actors for the latest film from ‘Traumatica Pictures’? A lot of people and therefore a lot of potential in one place and of course we want to capitalise on that. We invite you to our new on-site film studio, applications will be accepted at the reception by our crew member. There will be a studio tour and we will show you how our monsters are made. ATTENTION, the line between reality and fiction is very thin. And even on set, things don’t always go as planned…
