The sets were nice and detailed but the sound was subpar. Even with a microphone it was difficult to understand the lobby actor and with the TV going off inside the parlor the curator/explorer guy was hard to hear also. Some areas of the house seemed to lack any soundtrack at all.

This is well worth the time. The actors, costumes, makeup and sets all made this a great time.read more

First, the BS of buying a ticket to have it emailed is just annoying. Person selling the tickets…read moreneeding to get name, email, zip just to sell a ticket slows everything up, then waiting to get the email...then filling out a completely useless waiver. It would be nice if someone did some pest control. We were absolutely ripped apart by fleas or mosquitos or chiggers or something waiting to purchase tickets; which also made the whole annoying process more irritating. Once in line, things were better. There's no kind of entertainment like line actors or even a video screen so dull but, the line moved pretty quickly and we only had about an hour wait. The sets were really well done and the atmosphere was great. The make up was terrible. Several times I was looking at an actor and just thinking 'what is going on with your face'. I know this was opening weekend so maybe they just haven't settled into their roles yet but the acting was also pretty bad. Many seemed to think the best way to scare people was just standing in front of them and screaming. One girl actually said 'help me'. Overall I enjoyed it.

So it's about $30 for a basic entry ticket (before fees) but as you pre-purchase the tickets online…read morethere is add-on after add-on offer which could essentially double the ticket price. I don't have a lot of experience with haunted houses etc but this was fairly well done from a structural point of view. The buildings and maze and props all well done, actors were fine not great. What I don't like beyond the add-on pricing was the fact we got here as they opened on a slow Tuesday night before just before Halloween. They coral you into different lines depending on the level of ticket you get. The basic entry had only about 50 people in front of us. Even though nobody was in the fast pass lines they didn't send people in efficiently or speedily. They made people wait and what should have take 5-10 minute took 45 min +. No bathroom options once you get inside. If you need to go as I didn't not expecting that wait for so few people you need to back out through the line to the porta potty outside and then swim your wave back through the line which at that point had grown 4x due to their inefficiency . Apparently they are trying to prove a point if you don't spend up to any of the higher price points they WILL make you wait even if there are no fast pass ticket holders and no backup. Once inside it probably only takes about 15-20 minutes to go through. Parking while easy the night we went but unorganized and people were parking behind cars to where they couldn't get out so be mindful how you park. Was it fun? MEH it was ok. Was I scared? Not at all, but got a laugh out of it. Overall it's too expensive, not well organized and punish you if you don't fast pass. I wouldn't return.

STAY FAR AWAY -- They literally stole our wedding deposit…read more We paid over $5,000 for wedding welcome drinks and Common House Charlottesville suddenly shut down. Now they're ghosting us on our money. No refunds, no real communication, just endless "ongoing legal process" excuses while we're left holding the bag. This company is clearly bankrupt or headed there fast due to terrible mismanagement. We're now forced to go to court during wedding planning an incredibly stressful and expensive nightmare they created. The whole operation feels rotten. Richmond, Chattanooga, New Orleans - whatever location you're looking at, do not give them your money. They will take your deposit and leave you screwed.

Nola Games on Wheels is awesome! I just booked the video game truck for my third event with them…read moreand have been thoroughly impressed each time. Lisa is always so responsive and nice in all of my communications leading up to each event. The team always arrives on time and set up is so quick and easy. Every person I've met from their company has been so professional, easy going, and friendly. My favorite part is that they are completely self sufficient. I just let them know where to park and they do the rest. Their team gets all of the kids set up to play games and rotates so everyone gets a turn. There are video games inside and outside of the truck which I think is really cool too so a lot of kids can all play at the same time. Having the indoor option is especially nice for our summertime events! I always look forward to hiring them and knowing they're going to be such a big hit!

I didn't want to write this review. I wanted the business to make it right, so I reached out to…read morethem on two separate occasions with no response. I booked myself and six young people for an event that was advertised as family friendly. The class started 30 minutes late (tough for an impatient 7 year old) and then the ONLY instruction was, "I would start with the background." I wish this was an exaggeration. Then the instructor sat behind the desk for the duration of the class. When I've gone in the past, the instructor walked us through the painting while they painted on stage and gave tips, often circulating through the class to see if anyone needed help. Not this time. There were no printed instructions either. There was a monitor that displayed the painting but it went off halfway through the class, leaving us to use our phone screen or our imagination to finish. Despite starting thirty minutes late, it ended on time which cheated us out of our full booking. And then the "instructor" had the nerve to put a tip bucket atop a stool standing between us the door. Everyone has a bad day, but this experience was particularly egregious. Coupled with the company's refusal to acknowledge, apologize, or remedy the problem leaves me no other option than to recommend Google users NOT patronize Painting With a Twist Metairie.
