Midnite

Midnight by OuterGround was the first room of Day 2 of our NL/BL 4-day escape tour 2026 and the 4th game overall. We played as a group of 5 and had a great time. Two people in our team aren’t particularly fond of scary experiences, but they were completely fine with how this one was executed, it creates tension without pushing things too far. This room is clearly made with care and attention to detail, especially in its theming around cinema and going to the movies. As someone who loves films, I might be slightly biased, but the amount of small references and atmosphere tied to movie culture was fantastic. The puzzles lean toward the easier side, which makes sense given the tension-driven nature of the experience. The focus is more on immersion than complexity. The acting was sharp and well timed, and the sound and lighting design were outstanding, constantly reinforcing the mood. Recommended for players who don’t mind a bit of tension and atmosphere, but who don’t necessarily want full horror.

We are horror noobs, and we were all a bit scared to enter this room, but I am so, so happy that we did! From the fantastic set, to the wonderful beginning (that eased us a bit into the experience), all the way to the finale, this room is really, really good. The scares are placed in a way that makes this approachable for people who haven't played a lot of horror. The puzzles are simpler, but still fun. The use of light was fantastic. Highly recommend this, even if you are a bit hesitant to play horror rooms!

You and your friends are attending a midnight showing of a film, but it seems the cinema is not used to having customers. Although it is already clear what we are in for, there is a nice actor interaction to help get you into the story. The room is beautifully built (I actually wonder if they could use it for staff movie nights or something, as it is very authentic). There is one really cool effect, but half our team didn't notice it - perhaps there were too scared to look around ;-) This room is advertised as a horror room, and I am not the bravest, but I was able to endure quite well (it helps that I was the bravest of our group of 4.. ha!). So if you are hesitant, don't be! The puzzles were well integrated into the space, and there was one puzzles I LOVED that was integrated with technology in a way I had not seen before (no spoilers). As with many "scary" rooms, the puzzles in general were not too deep, and we definitely got our steps in during this room (iykyk). I am so happy we were able to get a booking during our trip!

We played this room for free as the first test team. Although there were some things we think could be improved, the experience was already amazing! It is a room you are going to play for the experience itself, the puzzles are very good but not the main focus of the room. The actor in the room really made the room come alive and startled us many times. Really a must play!
