Legend says no guest who remains inside the manor past midnight is ever seen again. To escape, your team must retrace the evening from the moment it began. You will revisit the guest registry, welcome cards, dinner menu, unsettling warnings, unfinished message, caretaker’s ledger, keys to the manor’s rooms, phantom melody, and final departure record. Each completed puzzle reveals one number. Once the correct numbers are identified, players can determine the final four-digit code and escape Blackwood Manor before midnight.
