Located in Wharton, New Jersey, 13th Hour Haunted House offers a unique adventure mash-up that pairs mental agility with physical precision through its "Wizard of Oz + Hatchet Throwing Combo." Situated at 105 W Dewey Ave, this experience invites guests to dive into an interactive, 60-minute escape room where teams of up to eight navigate puzzles and clues inspired by Dorothy’s journey to and from Oz. The setting is cleverly designed to challenge your problem-solving skills under time pressure, making it both a brain teaser and a thrilling group activity.
Once your group unravels the final puzzle and “escapes” the whimsical yet suspenseful room, the adventure shifts gears. Step outside to 13th Hour’s hatchet throwing lanes, where you’ll spend an hour honing your aim and embracing the satisfying thud of an axe hitting its mark. This combination invites a rare duality of fun—strategic teamwork inside, raw individual focus outside.
Wharton’s landscape, nestled in a region marked by rolling hills and forested ridges typical of northern New Jersey’s terrain, offers a refreshing contrast to indoor entertainment venues. This fusion of immersive indoor challenge with active outdoor play makes 13th Hour a standout within the local outdoor recreation scene.
Beyond its unique activity blend, 13th Hour is an accessible destination for thrill seekers and groups looking to build camaraderie in a stress-free environment.
