14. During the Event
● Please don’t leave your location open. If you must leave your location,
please inform security, and they will backfill while you’re away.
● No food or sugary drinks are allowed in the Tunnels of Terror or Officers
Quarters. Water is allowed. Our concern is nightly creatures like skunks
and racoons. We greatly appreciate your help with this!
● Snacks and Beverages are available each night inside the barracks. A
volunteer care team member will be making rounds with food and drinks
during the night.

15. When we close...
● Closing time is 10pm - however, that is when we stop ticket sales. We may
run until 11pm some nights. This is unlikely, but it can happen. If you must
leave, please be sure to sign out properly.
● All volunteers must sign out for the night inside the barracks. If you don’t
sign out, we may call you to verify you have left, so we know no one is
locked in the fort.
● Security will announce closing time, and will patrol the fort from the front, to
the back, and make sure all volunteers have been accounted for. Please
wait in your location for a security team member to announce the closure.
