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?

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.

Gig harbor Escape Hour is always top tier escape rooms and if you enjoy escape rooms you’d definitely love midnight manor!
All of the puzzles were very unique and some we’re definitely more challenging than others but all are doable and the room is non linear so you can have groups working on other things at a time!
The atmosphere was gorgeous, I definitely think the atmosphere was a level up from baker street. The atmosphere is always 100/10 at gig harbor and the whole room follows the storyline so it is a real immersive experience!
Our game master was awesome! She was in a whole outfit to match the theme and talking like she was from the era of the room. Definitely made me feel like I wanted to dress up - and really nice caring and patient and calm with our crazy family asking for hints!

I’d say 5 is the ideal number of players because we played with 4 players and escaped on the buzzer - our group is also more experienced with escape rooms so people who aren’t as experienced may want 5 or more but honestly I think 6 people would be too many.

Incredible design that fits right in with the story of the room makes this a unique and fun experience. I’ve always enjoyed the rooms at Escape Hour, and this being their newest room we had high hopes, and it did not disappoint. GM as always was amazing. Highly recommend!
Gameplay was very unique, fun and enjoyable. Overall, it flowed really well, although some minor confusion on which puzzle was ready to work on or finished.
Dimly lit but still light enough to clearly see, sometimes needing a candle to see all the puzzles, which fit very well with the design and feel of being in an old manor. Spectacular design and feel with some fun and unique special effects.
The GMs at Escape Hour have always been some of the best, always staying in character and cleverly helping guide our experience to have a fun time.

We were in town for a few days for a wedding and looked this company up. The reviews gave this place high praise so we had to try it out. We chose Midnight Manor, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we stepped into the room, the attention to detail in the set design was breathtaking. The dark and eerie ambiance perfectly complemented the theme, immersing us in the mysterious world of the manor. The clue system was nothing short of epic, seamlessly integrating with the storyline and allowing for a truly immersive experience. The puzzles were cleverly crafted, striking a balance between challenge and excitement. Each one required us to think outside the box, keeping us engaged and eager to unravel the secrets of the manor. The game master, who remained in character throughout, added an extra layer of authenticity to the experience, guiding us through the game and providing hints when needed. Midnight Manor truly delivered on its promise of an unforgettable adventure, and it has rightfully earned its place as my top escape room recommendation. One of the highlights of Midnight Manor was the abundance of surprises scattered throughout the room. From hidden compartments to unexpected twists, the game designers ensured that every step of the journey held a delightful revelation. These surprises not only added an element of excitement and anticipation but also showcased the thoughtfulness and creativity behind the room's design. It was evident that the creators had put meticulous effort into crafting an immersive and thrilling experience. Midnight Manor stands out as an escape room that seamlessly combines a captivating theme, mind-bending puzzles, an exceptional clue system, and a dedicated game master to create an unforgettable adventure. If you're a fan of escape rooms, this is an absolute must-try, as it left me longing for more even after the game had ended.

At the time of this writing this is their newest game. And it shows compared to Theradonia. The set design was much more polished. However, this game also had puzzles and tech that seemed very out of place for the theme and storyline. Our GM was fantastic. Many of the puzzles were very good, though signposting could be improved a bit. But, overall we enjoyed this game.

things i liked about this room: our gamemaster was great. the decor was extravagant and immersive. there’s a wide range of types of puzzles—some physical, some brain based, with some easier and some harder. there’s always some surprises in an escape hour room and this room was no exception. to sum up, the vibes were immaculate. things that weren’t my favorite: they don’t show you your timer. like, why?! i need to know how much time i have left. this in my opinion makes it so hard to know when to ask for help. the clue giving system was cool but the immersive factor makes it hard to hear and understand what your gamemaster is saying. finally, the soundtrack was so repetitive that i was sick of hearing it by the end of our hour. a little more variety in the music would make a big difference. overall this was a great room and fun experience, but we had only 2 players and it was not enough. due to some non linear factors and the huge amount of puzzles, having a larger team would be very advantageous here.
