Compound
Located in a series of shipping containers between the Curse at Alton Manor and Forbidden Valley, Compound is a brand-new maze that takes guests deep into the world of The Phalanx. Starting in an isolated pod, you’re shown a video briefing that quickly descends into chaos. From there, guests are taken one by one—backwards—into a maze filled with multiple routes, disorienting environments, and immersive theming that’s both impressive and intense. It evoked strong memories of Sub Species: The End Games, which is high praise. One of our absolute favourites this year, and an exciting addition to the Scarefest line-up.
Back again for 2025, The Compound continues to deliver the intensity and unpredictability that made it a standout last year. Although the layout hasn’t changed, there are so many possible routes that each run-through still feels different. The costumes and makeup remain first-class, and while we would love to see an even more intense version in future, the experience is still a highlight.
