## What is Hue Haunted House?

We created a Sound and Light Scape system which is unpredictable (no looping sounds), highly customisable and versatile in it's setup. Hue Haunted House contains high quality audio effects with beautifully synced lighting to create the perfect eerie mood.

Hue Haunted House offers the following scary themes to choose from:

- Creepy Cave
Dripping stones, scary bats and ferocious monsters haunt you while you wander through the corridors of this dark cave. Did you take the right turn 10 minutes ago? Sure you are not lost?...

- Grisly Graveyard
This is definitely a place where you do not want to be. Zombies stray over this graveyard while rain and wind make you shiver. Or is it the fear in your body? A distant church reminds you you are not far from safety. But why can it's bell be heard so often and irregular? Isn't that odd? 

- Demon Dollhouse
Dolls are sweet aren't they? So you would say... This dollhouse is full of evil. So evil, It makes the small dolls cry. Or are they possessed as well? Something is very wrong, that's for sure.

- Eerie Forest
This is a spine-chilling forest. Birds give the impression of some peace. But don't be fooled. Weird creatures also roam this place. Is that the wind in the trees you hear? Sounds of raven are never a good sign...

- Frightening Pursuit
You're running but it seems you don't progress. What is it you flee from? Not knowing is the worst. But one thing is for sure. You don't want it to catch up with you, then you'll suffer the same faith as that poor little fluffy creature which wasn't fast enough.

- Distressing Dungeon 
Locked up, nobody knows why. Damp and dark you scream for help but the only reaction you get is your own echo. Doors open and close, chains rattle around you. Nobody there to help you out. Will it end here?

- Abandoned Fairground
This must be the weirdest place on earth. Fairgrounds look so gruesome when abandoned. Once a place of joy and laugh, now a spooky ground where some machines still try to entertain you as you pass by. Sounds of the past appear out of nothing. As if ghosts and spirits are still on a roller coaster ride. Is that a clown I hear? 

- Haunted House
Whispers around you make your heart beat faster, while you walk through this old house with it's creaky floors and doors. Thunder bursts concentrated above the house making cats and other animals scream. After every door you think you found the exit, but every door leads to another room with new surprises. Most of them not so pleasant. Wish you haven't been so curious and never entered this Haunted House?

- Hell Fire
When you open your eyes from whats seems like a nap, flames warm your body from below. Standing on top of a big rock you look at the bubbling Lava. Where to go? Fireballs shoot all over the place. You see some phantoms who fail to dodge them. Distant screams make the place even more horrific. You can just hope this is a very bad dream.

- Gloomy Ghosts
Have you ever seen a ghost? Some say they do. But in this place you can hear them for sure. Have a look around, maybe you see or feel them. It's said that if you feel a sudden cold, a ghost might just pass you. Or even fly right through you. Look out! On your left!

- Sinister Strings
When you enter the Opera house, the theater hall is dark and there's nobody on the podium. These instruments seem to play themselves! It's an orchestra without direction. I think there are too many false notes being played here..

- Witch Hunt
Screeching laughter so typically for witches. A lot of them are gathered to discuss new spells and recipes. The winner of last year's soup competition is already cooking this years soup. The ingredients are gore and not so typical. Make sure you do not end up in the boiling cauldron in the middle of the square.

- Pirate Ship
Arr aaaaaargh. This is not the average pirate ship. This one is haunted. We suspect ghost are glooming around the rudder.

- Lurid Laboratory
Not Dexter, not DeeDee but evil forces brew here.

### 1/5 — Läuft nicht mit der neuen Hue Bridge

*2026-08-10*

Ich habe die App geliebt leider läuft diese nicht mit den neuen Hue Bridge bringt endlich ein Update raus!!!!

### 5/5 — Update wäre wünschenswert

*2026-01-31*

Ein Update wäre toll damit die neue Bridge Pro unterstützt wird

### 1/5 — Not for Hue Pro

*2025-12-02*

Does not work with Hue Pro

### 1/5 — Won’t connect to Hue Bridge+

*2025-10-29, version 1.8*

It sees my Hue Bridge+ and instructed me to push the button, but when I do, nothing happens - it just continues to spin and then times out. 
The bridge works fine because it connects nicely to other apps.

### 3/5 — Top App, aber nicht mit Hue Bridge Pro

*2025-10-26*

Die Apps sind alle wirklich der Knaller. Allerdings funktionieren Sie nicht mehr mit der Hue Bridge Pro. Die Bridge wird zwar gefunden und man wird aufgefordert den Pairing Button zu drücken, jedoch passiert danach dann nichts weiter. Habe das mit zwei Apps des Entwicklers nachstellen können

### 1/5 — Hue haunted house

*2025-04-09*

How do i change the internet settings from my old internet connection

### 5/5 — Schaurig Schöne Grusel Unterhaltung

*2025-03-02*

Echt top für das Geld und läuft einwandfrei, ein Muss für jede Halloween Party

### 1/5 — Impossible de connecter le pont Hue

*2024-09-21*

Tout est dans le titre!
Appli inutilisable

### 1/5 — Basic and boring

*2023-10-16, version 1.8*

Spend your money on one of the much better apps.

### 2/5 — AirPlay 2 Still Broken

*2022-10-29*

Great timing to realize that the AirPlay 2 functionality that worked perfectly fine the last couple of years no longer works in this version that apparently was supposed to fix it. At least if you are on iOS 16. Terrible timing. Great app when AirPlay 2 works but the creep vibe to the party just died with the ability to only have sound coming from one device. Five stars when fixed.
