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?

Escape Hour always delivers on quality. It is clear that they care a lot about the experience of their players and Midnight Manor is no exception. The theming of this room is exceptional, puzzles are fun but not horribly challenging, and progress always feels rewarding. Our game master, Adam, did an exceptional job ensuring our immersion and nudged us nicely without giving away any answers (I can’t begin to express how much I appreciate this approach). This room is not really scary, but it is eerie and naturally raises the heart rate a few times, so be mindful if you’re not into this kind of thing. Lastly, as a duo, we were able to complete this room pretty easily. I recommend going into this room with no more than 3-4 people if you want to ensure everyone partakes in progression. Overall, Midnight Manor was exceptional, highly recommend.

Midnight Manor is really good. It's not 'scary' but it very much gives off the haunted house vibe. The puzzles were challenging but not impossibly hard. It's not a lot of bending, twisting, crawling, and cramped spaces which made it really nice for those of us that have minor physical disabilities. It's also pretty dark, but that just adds to the atmosphere. All in all my party had a blast and we will be going back.
The whole story flowed really well.
The props were nice and really added to experience.
Amazing. Our game master was super friendly and helpful.

Adam killed it as our GM! This was yet another Escape Hour adventure that we could not miss! I wish they had more rooms!

Straight into my favorites! The room's decor is very detailed and atmospheric. There is a lot of custom-made devices, apparently built by the owners themselves. I liked the flow of the puzzles. We had a great time chatting with folks from the staff, before and after the experience. I'll be back for the other rooms!

Setting was fine enough, just seemed like a knock-off of Enigma Escapes’ Condemned. Hard to be immersed when that’s what I was thinking the whole time.

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.
Thank you for including our newest room in your day of adventures! So glad to hear you enjoyed this one too!

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.

Thank you for taking the time to come and see us again! Cheers to your next adventure!

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.

I thought the story and the hint system was particularly interesting and unique to other experiences I’ve tried.

I’d say a mix, but there were definitely a fair number of automated components
