“I've done around 7 rooms in Portland and southern California, and this was by far my favorite. The design and tech they used made the room incredibly immersive, but didn't feel over the top or unbelievable. The puzzles were varied in difficulty and type, and everyone had something to do.”
“I LOVED the atmosphere and the detail of this room- very Raiders of the Lost Ark/Explorers' Club. It's really apparent that the creators put a lot of thought into constructing every last piece of this experience, and we had a great time. Nice mix of physical puzzles and brain stumpers throughout.
“We really enjoyed our adventure at Hour to Midnight. We had a group ranging from 11-41 and everyone felt like they were a part of the puzzle challenge. The room was incredible with wonderful thought-out props and secrets. The story-line was a bit complex but fun and in theme.”
“Wow! Secrets of Nibiru had a tight, cohesive setup and Hollywood level props and effects that would make Disneyland envious. Hour-To-Midnight's narrative driven puzzles definitely took escape rooms to the next level, delivering an immersive environment that I have yet to find anywhere else.”
“Secrets of Nibiru was AMAZING!!!! One of the best escape rooms I've played in the country. Amazing game with great sets and theme. Backstory was intriguing and game was SUPER FUN!”
“This was our first time! Wow what an experience. Very well done. Totally worth every penny! I can't wait for the other rooms to be done. These guys put a lot of thought and effort into the experience. And it shows. You will not be disappointed.”
“This room was professionally designed and impressively decorated from top to bottom, complete with nice touches on sound and lighting. Fully immersive with a nice variety of puzzles. The props and puzzles were well thought out, and well designed.”
“I've played a fair share of escape rooms, and I can say without a doubt that this place has some really well designed and exciting puzzles. If you're an enthusiast you'll be entirely satisfied with the cleverness and creativity put into the room. I was smiling ear to ear throughout. If you're new to escape rooms, you won't be overwhelmed as the challenges were intuitive and fair. So regardless of who you are, you'll have a blast.”
“We've done Escape Rooms all over the country and this was hands-down my favorite. Can't wait to come do another room!”
It is a room that 2 to 10 people will be locked in for a predetermined amount of time. While in the room they must gather clues to solve puzzles so they can escape the room. Some of our rooms are more of an adventure room, so the end goal may be different.
Typically the games last up to 60 minutes with a short introduction at the start and brief wrap up at the end. We ask that you show up 15 minutes early for rules and a short story.
We specialize in set design, themed environments, theatrics, story telling, lighting/sound effects, electronic wizardry, and use very few padlocks. Our approach is very different to other escape games since we try to create the most immersive game possible.
While we do actually lock some of the rooms, all rooms have an emergency exit button which allows you to leave at any time. If you leave the room you may not be allowed to re-enter depending on team response and show timing.
Yes. However, the minimum age may vary depending on what game you choose to play. See each game's page for information about that game's age restrictions.
Yes, online, prior to 48 hours. Please be aware that our game is a live event, so once the booking is confirmed there is a $30 rescheduling fee if changes are made within 48 hours of your booking time. No shows forfeit funds.
You are in luck! We have made all our rooms private for the foreseeable future. You will have to purchase all the tickets for the players at the time of booking, but if you wish to add players, reach out to us and we can handle it.
We cannot hold tickets until they are paid for, sorry. If you would like to attend the game on a certain date, please purchase the tickets in advance.
No, room escape games are inherently group events and as such our pricing is lower than the average/quality. So in essence you are paying less for larger groups.
