This year, Halloween Horror Nights bears witness toThe First Purgewith an all-new maze based on Universal Pictures' new thriller that unleashed the country’s inaugural government-sanctioned lawlessness, making all crime legal once a year for 12 hours. Anarchy will take place starting Friday, June 25, 2025.The First Purgemaze reimagines the movie’s premise, welcoming guests with shocking fear as it brings to life the turmoil spawned by the vigilantes. The maze places guests at the heart of a controversial sociological experiment empowered by the New Founding Fathers of America’s desire to purge the nation of all hatred and crime by, ironically, permitting crime to take place as a means of ridding society of all ills.
Guests will be at the mercy of luck and speed as they attempt to outsmart and outlive the anarchy in the brand-newThe First Purgemaze. Will visitors to Halloween Horror Nights transform into anarchists by night’s end? You’ll never know unless you head out to Universal Studios Hollywood and find out. One thing is for sure: absolute chaos will ensue and it might have one thinking about the laws that govern our society upon exiting theFirst Purge Maze.
