Solve puzzles, race the clock, and add hatchet throwing — 90–120 minute group challenges for friends and teams.
13th Hour Haunted House in Wharton, New Jersey, offers immersive, group-focused escape experiences designed for friends, families, and team-building outings.
The business presents two core experiences: "The Campground," a 90-minute adventure set at Whispering Oaks State Forest where participants must solve the mystery of a vanished companion with a group of up to eight people; and the "Wizard of Oz + Hatchet Throwing Combo," which pairs a 60-minute escape room challenge themed around helping Dorothy reach Oz and return home with a separate hour of supervised hatchet throwing. Both offerings emphasize teamwork, timed puzzle-solving, and active participation.
Operating in Wharton, 13th Hour Haunted House provides clear session lengths, group-size guidance, and combined activity options so visitors can pick the right experience for social gatherings or skill-building outings. Booking information and availability are published through the business's scheduling channels, and each session outlines the expected duration and participant limits.
By focusing on structured escape scenarios and a paired physical activity option, 13th Hour Haunted House delivers distinct entertainment choices without embellishment.
