To mark the release of the new Necromancer hero class within Diablo III, Blizzard is inviting brave video game fans to apply to partake in 'The Haunted Experience.'
The Haunted Experience will be set at Borgvattnet's rectory, which is known as one of Sweden's most haunted places, inviting one person to play as the Necromancer hero inside the haunted house for the night. While one brave soul will spend the night alone in the allegedly haunted setting, their experience is set to be streamed on Twitch for others to partake in.
Across multiple industries, brands are challenging fans to prove their worth when it comes to using their products. In the case of The Haunted Experience, one Diablo fan will have to prove themselves physically and mentally fit for the event.
