Melt

Overview

If you're looking for something a bit different this Halloween and want to avoid wearing the half-hearted witch costume that you've worn for many years now, look no further than Madame Tussauds. The home of hyper-realistic (and terrifying) wax figures of famous celebrities has cooked up something for the spooky holiday. Dubbed Melt, these 45-minute and, quite frankly, horrifying after-dark tours are not for the faint-hearted.

Head on down to Tussauds' Darling Harbour digs from Thursday, October 31 to Saturday, November 2 and you'll rub shoulders with wax celebs as you navigate your way through the halls — think escape room meets House of Wax. You'll use instructions, clues and puzzle-solving skills on your quest to 'make it out alive'. But you must be wary of 'The Artist' — Madame Tussauds' serial killer — looking for its next victim. Run into it and you'll become a strange, half-melted creature who'll haunt the shadows in Madame Tussauds forever. So, it's safe to say your orienteering skills from scouts will come in handy here. Maybe bring along your most calm and logical mates, plus that guy from work who's the only one who knows how to do cryptic crosswords.

Madame Tussauds' Melt is a series of 45-minute tours, running between 7–10.30pm from Thursday, October 31 through Saturday, November 2. The event is for persons over 18 years and the maximum number of persons per session is ten. To make a booking, head to the website.
