Spend your own haunted money for some spooky fun at Slaughtersville. What's more, you get to hear ghost stories too

This could well be your child's first Halloween party and much like its very purpose is out to give your tyke the spook of a lifetime. With over 500 children who participated in the gala that began last year, children's party organisers Shilpa Alur and Devina of Chaos:u00a0 We'll Organize It have a bigger plan in mind this time.

Think all things spooky, and you can have them at this party. Welcome to the city of Slaughterville where spookies are the currency. Collect your spookies (a form of currency that can be used at this party) at the door and walk in to a maze full of activities. A 20 feet tall wall lets your kid do the climbing act and save those witches at the top. A haunted house welcomes kids of all ages into a deep and dark world.

Also awaiting you is a haunted maze. Your kids can solve this maze and get spooked out at the same time.If climbing or quizzing bores your little tyke, he can go and poke around in science experiment counters or get crafty at art bazaars.u00a0

Toddlers can choose to pet their favourite animals at a 'Petting Zoo' where they get to take turns and pick an animal. Also at the venue are tents where kids get to hear ghost stories and tell some too. Open to children between the ages of two and 13, children are required to come in with an accompanying adult.

Four slots of three hours each accommodate around 250 children each through the day. Adults in the meanwhile can entertain themselves with some flea market shopping at the Bewitching Bazaar.
