The Haunted University attraction at Mega Bangna invites visitors to step into the eerie world of Anant College, a fictional old university plagued by mysterious student disappearances each year. Participants play first-year students navigating six haunted faculties—from the Information Technology faculty with a mysterious spirit‑binding shrine, to the Science faculty's 'afterlife' experiment, the central library housing occult texts, the Fine Arts faculty's dancing‑ghost legend, the Nursing faculty's unsettling bed, and finally the Chancellor's office where the truth may lie. The event runs from 9 October to 1 November 2026, daily from 12:00 to 22:00 at Mega Plaza, Mega Bangna Shopping Mall. Tickets cost 350 baht, with a Happy Hour discount of 100 baht from 12:00‑13:00 and Mega Smile Reward members can redeem 50 points for a 50‑baht discount or 5 points for a free photo booth session. Completing the challenge earns a chance to share a 100,000‑baht prize pool, and participants who finish the post‑event survey receive a free movie ticket from Mega Cineplex. Additional free activities include the 'Haunted Night… Circle Talk' storytelling sessions on 24 and 31 October, and free photo‑booth prints for Mega Smile Reward members from 23 October to 1 November.
