Image: AI-generated (Midjourney) It's one of many people's worst nightmares, yet at least six brave souls will be attempting to spend more than a day trapped inside a coffin as part of a bizarre new stunt at a theme park in Missouri.

Known as the "Coffin Challenge", the competition will see each participant sealed inside a wooden box measuring a mere 2ft by 7ft from 1pm on October 13th to 7pm on October 14th.

They will be permitted a short bathroom break every hour and will also be served free meals inside their temporary accommodations.If they leave at any other time during the challenge however they will be immediately disqualified.

With $300 up for grabs, it remains to be seen whether any of them will be able to last the distance.

Update: The challenge has proven so popular that it has now been rolled out to other parks as well.

We were buried alive with responses, so we have expanded the 30-hour Coffin Challenge to all theme parks! https://t.co/aeY6E52QH0 #FrightFest pic.twitter.com/2EFCIxafHy
