This Halloween, a brand-new immersive scare experience is launching in Manchester’s
city centre, 5 minutes’ walk from Piccadilly Station – Time To Die.

From the teams behind Diecast and the award-winning Newsham Scream Park in
Liverpool, and curated by the infamous masters of horror, Area 51, Time To Die is taking
horror to a whole new level.

Truly nightmarish and terror-filled nights await this October with two terrifying scare
experiences – The Die Is Cast and The Toymaker – with dates across Friday 11th October
to Saturday 2nd November on sale now. The opening date for Time To Die has been put
back a week to allow for extra production to be installed for each scare experience.
So prepare to be petrified this Halloween. Deep in the dark heart of Manchester lies a
quarter of a million square feet of deserted industrial metalworks; forgotten, boarded up
and consigned to history decades ago. Within this towering maze of rusted mechanical
hulks and abandoned machinery, something sinister will confront only the very bravest
this Halloween at Time To Die’s two scare experiences.

THE DIE IS CAST

The Dice Master sees all and watches everyone’s step as they lose themselves ever
deeper in his gargantuan labyrinth of fear. The die is cast and making it out alive is at stake,
braving a truly intense 20 minutes of adrenaline-fuelled panic as the story of each guest’s
demise unfolds around them.

THE TOYMAKER

Somewhere in very darkest, most infernal depths of this tortured other-world, a shell of a
man hunches over his workbench, long fingers twitching away as he ceaselessly
practices his dark art. He is a creator of monstrosities and for those unlucky enough to
stumble upon him. Can anyone last 15 minutes? The Toymaker thinks not… and he’s after
spare parts. Those bold enough will find a way out, perhaps… but be warned this
encounter will drive even the toughest souls to the very edge of sanity. Prepare to meet
the face of pure evil as and travel into the Devil’s own dungeon.

WARNING: These are extreme level scare attractions designed to unsettle and terrify –
recommended for adults only, the minimum age is 14 years old and above.

Matt Page, Area 51’s director and designer, says: “We took one look at Diecast and knew
it would be perfect; hands-down the best location we have ever seen for an immersive
horror experience and right in the city centre; it’s the stuff of nightmares even without the
ghouls. We look forwards to delivering something truly horrifying come this October; this
will be brutal!”

Infamous masters of horror, Area 51, have been designing scare attractions for 20 years.
Renowned for their special effects, creature creation and incredibly immersive
experiences, they’ve delivered ridiculously frightening encounters across the UK and as
far afield as Dubai – and they annually supply Jonathan Ross with suitably sinister
entertainment for his legendary Halloween Party. Scare Projects are award winning horror
experience designers who scooped Best New Scare Attraction 2018 for Garden of
Ghouls. Together, they are behind Road to Hell live action horror drive, Whatton House of
Horror, Satan’s Slammer and many more highly rated UK Halloween shows – all have
been nominees or winners at the prestigious Scare Awards.

Time To Die will feature live entertainment each night, food court and licensed bars, plus
