Do you enjoy getting spooked out of your mind? Test your mettle at Hauntu, an immersive horror series created by entertainment company Superdough, which now has a new thrilling experience at The Curve (in Petaling Jaya) inspired by some of Malaysia’s oldest performing arts.

Hauntu The Curve is set in the golden Sultanate-era, where participants are asked to put themselves in the shoes of courageous siblings on a perilous hunt for their long-lost mother. After discovering a cryptic note, they are led to the mysterious Seri Panggung Academy.
