3. Lockdown Escape Room presents the “Haunted Escape – Return of the Headless Horseman.” Open October 13 until October 31 at unit 150 - 4732 60th Ave Red Deer (Riverside Industrial area).

The Headless Horseman and his army put this challenges out to slow groups down enough to deter them from going further. For more information about this fun Halloween event click here.
