Venture into the heart of Midnight Manor, a place where time doesn't just tick, it plots revenge. Haunted by a vengeful presence and shrouded in a chilling family legend, this once vibrant manor now bares its teeth at the stroke of midnight. As the rightful heir, you're drawn into a sinister dance of shadows and whispers, on a mission to unearth the truth hidden deep within its eerie walls. Tick-tock, can you reclaim what's rightfully yours from the relentless passage of time before you become its next victim? Will you dare to challenge the manor's haunting legacy, or will it claim you at midnight's chime? It's not just a clock, it's a countdown... to your destiny. Are you ready? Long ago, inside the heart of this manor, there resided a sacred grandfather clock and the person who tended to it—a timekeeper named Jenkins. This clock not only kept the household to their schedules, but it safeguarded a priceless memento belonging to Jenkins, an item given to him by his wife before her untimely death. Tragedy struck, however, when a groundskeeper, driven by greed, pilfered the clock's contents. Bereft of his cherished possession, Jenkins perished from a broken heart, leaving the manor dormant and abandoned for many years to come. That is until the same thieving groundskeeper received an enigmatic letter, inviting him back to the manor once more—tempting him with hidden treasure. The house, now enchanted with darkness, yearned to exact revenge. It is said the groundskeeper was never seen again, having fallen victim to the vengeful presence inside the manor. Legend tells that at each stroke of midnight, the manor now releases toxic gas, ensnaring souls within its sinister grasp. Generations of the groundskeeper's family were trapped for thirty years, except for one fortunate escapee. Over time, the truth blurred into folklore, becoming a chilling ghost story whispered among your family during yearly reunions. But one fateful night, a letter arrived at your door, bearing an ominous message and a key. Familiar yet inexplicable, it invited you to claim your inheritance at the dreaded midnight manor. Perplexed by the letter's authenticity, you pondered whether it was an elaborate prank. But deep down, you sensed the weight of destiny upon your shoulders. As the rightful heir, the time had come to confront the haunting legacy that awaited within the manor's shadows. With every heartbeat, the midnight hour drew nearer, urging you to uncover the truth or risk becoming yet another victim of this timeless malevolence. Now that you're here, eerie whispers reverberate through the walls, and elongated shadows dance ominously. With every step, you unearth clues that point to a disturbing pattern: each death occurred precisely at the stroke of midnight. Something precious had been taken, and it is your duty to recover it. As the relentless passage of time weighs upon you, every tick of the clock feels like a step closer to your impending fate. Are you ready to accept the challenge, unveil the secrets of the midnight manor and claim your birthright before it claims you?

Loved this room, it was creepy and a little scary. Puzzles were fun and special effects were cool. Immersive from the moment you step into the building. The game masters are some of the best (if not the best) I’ve ever encountered. They did very well at nudging us in the right direction or telling us if we were completely off track so we didn’t waste time. BF and I did all four rooms in a day and they wrote us a very sweet note at the end. We loved loved loved our experience here and couldn’t recommend it enough.

Not our favorite Escape Hour escape room... but the bar is very high for Escape Hour! Perfect for a team of two; we went on spurts where we solved puzzle after puzzle in quick succession, and then found ourselves a little stumped two times. Puzzles were varied, they flowed and made sense within the theme of the room. Overall, maybe just not as immersive a story as Theradonia or The Cabin.

I really enjoyed this game. The story was well flushed out, and the gameplay all seemed to tie into the story and the scenario we were given— That might seem like a given, but I have played too many rooms where we were faced with puzzles just for the sake of having another puzzle. Nothing here felt unnecessary. There were a couple of holdups where my group got stuck, but overall I found the problem solving to be intuitive while still being appropriately challenging. It’s not scary, but I was spooked (though I’m a weenie), so I’d say be prepared for a light startle or two.

Overall ok, but not our favorite room at this location. Some of the clues and puzzles were difficult to make sense of.

This room is visually stunning with some really cool puzzles but we were definitely finding ourselves really stuck and overwhelmed several times. The GM was always helpful when we asked but we still felt like we were struggling quite a bit. When we got out, I’m pretty sure we went a few minutes over our time but our GM told us we had 6 seconds left on the clock which was an awesome way to run a business. We didn’t feel like total failures when we left lol
Gameplay
I think if we had more people in our group it would have flowed better. We were a group of 3 and we were often really confused at what to do next

Absolutely stunning down to every little detail

The GM was amazing, in full character from the second we stepped into the room

Very very hard for us. We struggled. We three players were very overwhelmed by the zillions of puzzles every where you look from the moment you step in the room(s) There are multiple rooms and we really struggled with our group of 3, but I have a disability and this room had tons of back and forth so I couldn’t participate as much as I wanted to.

Lots of both. I do think it’s confusing when you find two (or more) locks in a room of the exact same type (for instance 4-number locks. You find a 4 digit code, you should know exactly where to input it. It’s a small thing but something I’ve noticed in rooms at this business.

There was one piece of a puzzle that seemed distended/broken (maybe from someone pulling too hard?) but it still worked when we tried it.

Tons of running back and forth from room to room, which for me being disabled was very difficult.

8/10 overall. Right out of the Haunted Mansion from Disneyland!!! Such a cool atmosphere!! Some of the puzzles were hard but we ended up figuring everything out in the nick of time! I personally think it could flow better but the ending was very anticlimactic compared to others from this same company… still loved it though!!

Midnight Manor was a page right out of the haunted mansion at Disneyland. I came to this experience after having so much fun at Sirens Cove in point Ruston and man this one did not disappoint. The immersion in this experience is next level and the game flowed perfectly. The story really takes you on an adventure and the puzzles are high tech. This whole room is alive . The games masters/actors are in character the moment you walk through the door. They must be trained actors cause they are perfect. This place is amazing. This experience is top notch and rivals sirens Cove as my all time fav. It’s to hard to pick. They are both so great and yet so different. I would run to this experience if you haven’t done it yet. Have Fun!!! Oh and watch out for that Mr Jenkins, I don’t think he likes visitors.

I was talked into playing this room again. First time we played it was a horrible experience. I’d never been so frustrated. Numerous puzzles broken. To be fair, it was just opened. I’ve loved all of Escape Hour’s rooms other than this. One of the GMs from one of their other rooms talked me into playing it again. So glad I did. Everything was fixed and the game flowed smoothly. Had a great time! Puzzles are good and the room was fantastic.
