Madame Daphne cordially invites you to a private séance to contact the spirit of Harry Houdini. But all is not what it seems, and when the ghost appears, things take a dramatic turn. Unravel mysteries a century in the making, and you could find yourselves doing more than escaping a room.

This room lived up to its hype. I appreciated the flow and gradual buildup. Right when you enter the lobby to Strange Bird, the signs and decor begins to tickle the curious. Huge props to the acting

Wow!! What an experience... Unlike anything we had done. Sets the benchmark for immersion, set design, and live acting. Literally, from the moment you enter the premises, you feel you've stepped into something else. Even the lobby was designed purposeful, and the game started in an unexpected way. From start to finish, I was completely absorbed in the theater the live actor had created (they are actual professional actors who put on a proper show and stay in character throughout). The puzzles are moderately challenging if taken individually but the non-linearity makes them more challenging. Hints were given when the game felt you needed them (a different approach to the traditonal way of asking for clues). It can be perplexing on how/where to start when the game truly begins but don't worry, just do whatever makes sense to you. The flow comes eventually. It's not a "scary" game but definitely spooky. I wouldn't recommend this to a group of completely new players. That being said, I would recommend everyone to try this game at some point. The staff do a great job and can accommodate custom time bookings if all slots on a day are booked (subject to staff availability).
The whole thing was next level. Excellent flow, nonlinear gameplay.
Definition of immersive. Props were excellent. Sp
We don't know who exactly our GM was but that's because of the immersion right from the beginning! We felt transported to an actual setting. Staff was great though. The excellent acting and staying in character, weaving in the business formalities seamlessly.
Yes
One of the best experiences. Must do for any enthusiast.
Mysterious, relevant to gameplay, prologue and epilogue very good.

Challenge is augmented because you may not be exactly sure where you start or need to head towards. It is because the prologue is an excellent device for immersing you in the game without the standard "this is what you need to do to escape the room".

4-5 is ideal. 4 at least to enjoy the seance properly. The game is non-linear; teams tackling different puzzles together can be helpful.

Atmosphere is spooky. But wouldn't call it scary.

This game was amazing. The puzzles were fun, interesting, challenging, and thematic. The atmosphere was amazing and the actors never broke character even once! This one was tons of fun and made my jaw drop. I wish I could do it again

The puzzles and story were great and flowed together well. It was exciting, fun and engaged our group well. There was one special effect that our whole group thought was phenomenal. The actors did a great job and that is what brought the experience to life. I don’t any negative things to say on this one.

An absolute joy of an escape room to get to experience. The blending of storytelling and puzzles was extremely well done and kept the atmosphere light and playful. Quite a few puzzles too that play on the theme of the room and help teach some of the tricks that were used in historical days. The actors were a delight, making the characters come to life and having fun banter with the members of my party (Emily and Scott you were amazing (an apologies if I messed up your names)). Definitely worth the detour to be able to go and play this game.

What can I even say that hasn’t already been said? This was a phenomenal experience from beginning to end. I have nothing negative to say. Eternally grateful that they were able to accommodate us on such short notice.
Emily and Scott were amazing!!!!!

Wow. After hearing about this room for years, I was a little worried it might not live up to the hype. Summary: it did a dang good job. Note: I won’t say it’s perfect, a few things were quite worn, but the story, and the building /lobby/room were all absolutely incredible. Puzzles were solid, quite a few very satisfying ah ha moments. Actors are present and a critical part of the room; all of them did a phenomenal job. With a few special moments/interactions that absolutely made my day. Strange Bird deserves the praise and I will be among the many waiting for their next room to open its doors.

Possibly the best story I’ve seen in a room, but top 3 for sure. (200+)

I mean, what a class act. Earns its awards in spades. This is the shift I want in escape rooms; Away from escape percentages and leaderboards and more towards amazing immersive story experiences with intriguing puzzles. Do expect of use the entire 90 minutes, you’re not going for a good time here. Very very good immersion overall and nothing major to break your flow. We ran with 2 and there was only one thing we couldn’t do physically by ourselves, but our GM was ready to help. If you’re lucky enough to be close to this room, it’s worth it.

I don’t even know how to describe this experience but if I had to try, transcendental is the word I would choose. Escape rooms are designed to entertain. But this experience was designed to transcend, to reflect, to heal. This is probably the first room that I cried in. Deeply moving story and the puzzles were on point. Although, by the end of it, you’ll realize that the puzzles were the story all along. Strange Bird Immersive, thank you for this special moment. I will cherish these 90 minutes with the people in that room forever.
