William Elshoff has scoured the globe for artifacts of great power. He claimed he had found the key to Nibiru! He locked himself in his study and began to work. When we went to check on him we discovered he had vanished. That’s why we have summoned you here. We are hoping with your unique skill set you can unlock the secrets to Uncle William’s whereabouts, and bring him home!
Era: Modern day, just a few hours after the event.
Dress: We suggest an adventurer's costume for this room (Indiana Jones, Laura Croft, international explorer).
Room Difficulty: This room is fairly difficult in that there are a lot of things to be done in the room. While it was designed for enthusiasts, new players can still puzzle through it and solve the room in time.
Suggested Age: We highly suggest 13 and over for this room. Players under 13 may find it difficult to stay stimulated as this is a single room.
I had an absolute blast here! This was the first escape room I tried, and have since done more. This particular one, "The Secrets of Nibiru", was amazing. The props were authentic as it gets. It kind of felt like it was straight out of an archaeology/adventure movie. I won't give anything away, but the theatrics were special to say the least. The puzzles and clues were well thought out, way beyond just a series of combo locks.
I had a chance to play a few escape rooms during my short trip to Portland, and Secrets of Nibiru was my favorite. The room is well-designed and immersive with puzzles that flowed really, really well. The set design/technology is what really separates it from the other rooms in the area. I played with just my girlfriend, and we probably would've benefited from having a little more help, but there were a couple adjustments made to the room to accommodate our small group size and we did manage to escape in time.
