It was my first time attending scarefest a week ago, our group definitely thought the attic was the strongest maze in the lineup this year (although maybe because we were sent through in a group of 4). AVMT was probably second best, although I'm confused about the helmets they kept referring to; none of our group had helmets and I don't think anyone else in the maze did either. Maybe something broke for our visit? Or it's been retired from previous years? Darkest depths was alright, probably our least favourite of the actual mazes.
The Invitation was.... an experience, certainly. It was entirely disjointed; I don't understand why there was a (rather small) lift sequence through which the poor host had to squeeze through the people who were packed in like sardines. Seems pretty poorly thought-out. The audio itself was... cool, I guess. Something interesting which I'm not sure if people noticed is that the person who is in the cage as a "vampire" at the end is actually batched with you. For our group, he was sitting next to me on the end of our row (right side of the room as you enter). He was in the cage at the end, which is cool, I guess. But nobody really seemed to notice.
Queues were alright, could've been worse. Met a few fellow enthusiasts which was nice too.
Overall, it was enjoyable, although somewhat lacking any "halloween-ness" outside of the mazes.
