A member of Next Haunt has makeup applied Oct. 26 for his role as an actor who spooks participants. In the conference room of Next House's basement, coordinators of Next Haunt monitor participants' progress Oct 26. A few days before Next Haunt officially begins, coordinators monitor participants and evaluate the quality of the escape room. Next Haunt incorporates many mind-boggling puzzles to not only challenge MIT students to think on their feet, but also do so under the stress of scares inside a haunted house. The coordinators of Next Haunt are responsible for devising clever and witty puzzles for participants to solve. The exterior of Next Haunt's project was located in the basement lounge of Next House. The project was constructed from scratch in a matter of a few weeks.
Next Haunt is a Next House-based student group that has been building and operating a haunted house-themed escape the room game in the dorm’s basement every Halloween since 2014. The Tech captured photos of both the haunted house and the behind-the-scenes efforts of the actors and producers.
