The Secrets of Nibiru

Beautiful room! So many intricate details and the theming was excellent. A little ambitious of a room for us as we were a party of 2 with one experienced player and one new player. However, we made it to the last two puzzles! Our game master, Horatio, was an excellent addition to our experience. My partner had no idea that game masters can be so enthusiastic and involved.

A really fun classic puzzle style room - we had 5 people so we were able to brain brute force a couple of puzzles. The ambiance is excellent and the props are all really charming.

This was a well done room. Our only complaint is that we spent a long time doing seek and find. I’d say probably 1/2 the time. Then after that the puzzles were not unique. It was a well done room and we were not sad we did it. Recommend it.

Fun room but way too short and easy.

This is the third escape room I've done at Hour to Midnight and it was spectacular! Every detail was important to solving the game. I'm always impressed by what this place can do with theming and puzzle design. Some people might find the ending difficult, but everything... I mean everything is told to the players on how to solve it: no brute force needed! Excellent...and I can't wait to see their new room next year!

I had a small group and there are a few puzzles that are designed to eat up time which is not too bad but the last puzzle was more guessing than anything else. Pluse the whole game is in one room. This is their first game they opened so it feels like a room built in those days.

Great room for 3 people, the attention to the little details is extra important for this room. Quite literally a scavenger hunt. I did love all the props and decor that went into space. Can't share too much more without spoilers. Thanks again to Horatio for following us into our second room! Your acting was still on point :)

The Secrets of Nibiru is a solid Gen 1.5-2 room. For a team of two, we had plenty to do between us but it still felt like the room was more of a scavenger hunt than an actual puzzle room. Horatio was a very attentive game master and I wish we could ask him to be our game master when we come back for the other rooms in this location. He did share with us at the end that other folks experienced our frustration with the last puzzle, and that felt affirming. During our experience, he gave us a tablet to work through one of the puzzles and this seems to be a much better experience than what other folks have done. There were some puzzles that I personally did ahead of getting the clues and it worked out just fine. Parking in this location is relatively easy because they have a parking lot just dedicated to the folks doing escape rooms. I still like the Pharaoh’s Lost Relic more than the Secrets of Nibiru but I’m glad I did both so I can see the entirety of the storyline.

One puzzle in particular is boom or bust. It takes a while. If it is your group's style, you will like this game; if not, then you will probably dislike it. The set is nice, and you get to explore and touch everything, which was unexpected. Some props had some serious weight to the, which is really cool!

The execution and ambience of this room is top level! Wish the room was longer because we did have so much fun and felt so immersed.
