Amsterdam Dungeon Halloween highlights

Home of Halloween

To mark the Dungeon’s 20th birthday, guests are invited to join the celebration, if they dare. Expect extra scares, heightened tension, and surprises lurking in every room. Bring your bravest friends; only one may make it out smiling.

The House with the Bloodstains

Venture into an abandoned canal house where the walls are scarred with blood-red scribbles, left behind by Mayor Coenraad van Beuningen in his final, deranged years. Rumours whisper that his restless spirit still roams inside. Locals claim to hear chilling screams at night, and the street outside is plagued by strange accidents.

Murder Mystery

Step into a chilling three-hour live investigation where guests become detectives in a gruesome whodunit. Actors, eerie settings, and dark humour blend into a night of suspense, drinks, and deadly secrets. Will you solve the crime, or become part of it?

The Key Keeper

Beware the return of the Key Keeper, the Dungeon’s most sinister guardian. He roams the corridors in search of wandering souls, his keys clinking like ghostly chains. Once he locks eyes with you, escape is nearly impossible.
