The 17th Door Haunt Experience

This place was a completely new experience for me and some of my group members, and it exceeded our expectations. I was especially impressed by how accommodating they were for my handicapped friend. Their team took the initiative to assist by pushing our friend around, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience without worry.The actors were phenomenal and went above and beyond, adding to the immersive atmosphere. Their dedication truly stood out and left a lasting impression on all of us. I'm already looking forward to next year!

I went with my Boyfriend to 17th Door on Sunday 10/20/24. I was truly looking forward to getting scared and heard this was the spot. It started awesome, walking through the long corridor and the lights flickered displaying the 17th sign made it spooky , the perfect night to be scared. We walked in and were told to sign the waivers immediately and then rushed to the VIP line. I read twice that we could be exposed to "electric shocks". I didn't want to be tasered but decided to go through the experience thinking "how bad can it be?" It's part of the experience plus they don't use professional tasers. It shouldn't be too bad. We were place in a group of 6 people. We were with a family of 4. Mom, dad, daughter and son. We went through with the night but at the end we felt (my BF and I) that we were targeted or picked on more than the family. I won't describe each door because I am not against the event at all but I will describe two main ones that stood out to us. One was the butcher's shop. To me it was ugh a bit disgusting. They had realistic looking chickens hanging. They also touched me with a real looking possum which reminded me of a rat and I was grossed out. It was funny to everyone else seeing me suffer but again part of the fun. No big deal. Once that was over they put us inside what I can describe as our personal human refrigerators. Each person in a locker size fridge where the temperature was freezing. (I've heard that in this door some people got soaked, we did not). The second door I'll describe is one of the lasts ones. They placed all six of us against a white wall like little soldiers. Then a white sheer cloth/curtain cover came down covering our whole bodies and face. Like an old school garage door. It smelled like sweat. I guess because of guests before us. Then another sheer curtain came down over the first one. Lastly another protective barrier came down but it had straps. The straps were rubber feeling similar to what covers a doctor's stethoscope. They hold you in place firmly. You could hardly move. It was super tight. I didn't feel comfortable especially because one of those straps was in my face. I tried to fix it as best as I could when suddenly I felt a taser hit my back, then another one, then another one. Then two at a time. I couldn't pinpoint where I was feeling the taser. I started getting anxious and annoyed. I thought "how long can this last?, how many times am I getting tased?" I started feeling nervous and getting anxious. I called out for my BF but I felt he was having a hard time himself. I tried to move and moved my head to the right and got tasered in the head twice. It hurt badly. I started getting upset. This was no longer "fun" this was complete torture and uncalled for. I think I yelled "stop" and then the straps and sheer curtains came up. When I looked down my Bf was on the floor. They tasered him so much he tried to wiggle himself out to the point that he fell on the floor. I tried helping him get up and we walked out. I had a massive headache and wanted nothing to do with this place. As we walked out my BF kept on asking if I was okay and honestly all I had was a headache and felt hematomas. He kept touching his head and asked me to check if he was bleeding. I said let's get to the car and I'll check. Once we got to the car sure enough he had to big lacerations from him being tasered in the head too. We also felt my head and it had swelled from the taser. I was furious. I understand being tasered once and up to five times max. But the quantity we endured and in our heads was uncalled for. It was over twenty times. I felt it was two ppl targeting me alone I can't imagine who and how many tasered my BF. Then we learned that the family of four was wearing a necklace with a red wand that I guess once the employees saw that necklace they wouldn't touch them. We were never offered such a necklace, especially because we were rushed in. We also feel that since out of the group of six we were the only ones without the protective necklace we were targeted a bit more. I wonder were more ppl tasering us because they didn't have six ppl to taser? Why the heads? Shouldn't they have a policy against the head and quantity? Is this why we didn't get soaked? It's one of or the other? I rather get soaked than tasered, specially the way they did to us.

This was really a lot of fun! Not nearly as scary as we expected. The mercy pens weren't really necessary unless you absolutely don't want to be shocked. It didn't look that bad at all. I probablyWould have done it. The actors are great. It is very dark inside. I did mercy out of two room but that was more about the germs! I wasn't going to cover my head and face in something hundreds of other people had used and the latex wall covers group after group. My friend told me when she covered her head she could smell all the cologne and hair products from other people and she could see makeup and lipstick on the latexAs it was coming down. Ewwwwe no thank you. If you don't want your haircut don't sit in the barber chair. Just know one person from the group has to sit before you can move to the next room. We did get wet but it wasn't awful and we weren't drenched. I recommend and would definitely return. Just make sure you know you can say mercy before you have to do anything you don't want to. Make sure you say it up front. Don't wait. If you think you shouldn't do it, don't! It is loud and slightly vulgar but it should be!!! Enjoy and don't overthink it. It's really not that bad! This is for 2024! I hear it changes every year.

17th door has become a yearly tradition for me and I am here for it.I love how they always push the limits and get you out of your comfort zone.Of course, this isn't for everyone, and if you are expecting a haunted house you will be gravely disappointed. 17th door tests you mentally and really tries to break you. Pushes you to the point where they want you to cry "mercy" where you can be removed from the room. Granted this is not for the weak as you will experience a lot of unpleasant situations from electrocution, bugs, moving floors, winds at 100mph, claustrophobia. Its all the things that make this place unique and one of a kind. Recommend 2024!

Good Halloween event . Worth the ticket . Definitely scary and tortureFilled . See ya next year

Honestly what an amazing experience! My girlfriend and I loved it! It was so unique and we were terrified to do it but we got through it and had a great time. Everyone was so kind and respectful!

2023 was different. New Location in Buena Park and a little tricky to find. Use the "YELPFOR17" for the biggest percentage off. I did the Field Trip, you can use code "First" for $6 dollars off on certain days or Yelp for 10% "yelpfor17." They will not stack. It is near the Asia Buffet side of the Mall. Park on that side or you will have to walk all the way around to get to your car if you park on the Walmart Side since they close the mall. My group was extremely excited as 7/8 were regulars and 1/8 was a first time prisoner. While it wasn't as torturous as people in my group mentioned, it was fun. Be prepared to run. They did modify the doors to be less of a liability :( Definitely didn't have the mind bending (how did they get away with this) doors that made 17th Door Famous minus the room that spins and the Bible. ** Spoiler Alert **They ended the furries and watered it down from 2022 and 2021. ** No more WATER **

Let's start with the good. The ambience was really incredible. The anticipation was built up. Every set felt really well crafted. They put a lot of thought into each room. The aftercare that one of my group members expirenced after the breath play was very cute and heartfelt I didn't like having to touch dead animals and one accidentally touched my face, I'm slightly concerned about the potential diseases from the animal corpses. I'm not trying to be patient zero for the next global pandemic. The cockroaches also scare me to because I don't know where they went . But overall really fun. Less scary than I thought but also more fun than I thought

Went again tonight (October 26th) for my birthday with my friends and this time I decided to not wear the pendant. The maze was so worth it and I enjoyed every second of it!! The actors were so interactive and overall im suggesting anyone who's brave enough to go try it out. Mind you they will taze, touch and put insects on you. Without the pendant it even helped me get rid of my roach and spider fear! Thank you so much 17th door for an amazing experience I can't wait to see you guys again very soon !!
