Madame Daphne cordially invites you to a private sΓ©ance 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.

What can be said that hasn't already been said? This game is #1 in the United States for a reason. It far exceeded my expectations (which were extremely high) and was absolutely positively among the best escape rooms I have ever played. Many enthusiasts have told me this "isn't a real escape room." Don't listen to them. This is absolutely an escape room, and it is one of the best you'll ever play. Well worth the trip to Houston to experience!

We really enjoyed our experience! From the beginning tarot card reading through the completion of the escape room, we were immersed in the experience. The actors were fantastic and the room aesthetic was very well done! It was challenging and fun! This room is a must!

This is one of my most favorite experiences of all time! I don't normally expect to be deeply emotionally invested in an escape room's story, but this one tugged at my heartstrings and made me want to cry. The actors were incredible! There's so much to do in this room, and would definitely recommend giving it a try.

Most immersive rooms I've done so far. Immersion starts from the second you walk in the door. For beginners this might be a little confusing. Detailed story and narrative. Live actors that really immerse. Non linear room. Puzzle very on theme.Good diagetic and mimetic puzzles. Flowed well. Hint system was very clever and effects were top notch.

I came to love escape rooms through immersive theater. Iβve travelled to London and Portugal just to see immersive theater shows. This room was a highlight of all of my experiences with immersive theater and the best escape room I have ever done. The place making from the moment you walk in, from the signage, the scents, the quirks of the lobby let you know this is something special. Once the experience begins, you feel wholly a part of a world that both feels surreal and believable at the same time. Strange Bird was kind enough to create a custom booking for us on a Monday afternoon and Madam Daphne was a joy to meet. The entire experience felt like a dream, the perfect amount of puzzles that made thematic sense and evoked the magic of Harry Houdini himself. I cannot recommend this room more, the emotion, care, precision and creativity poured into this experience elevated it beyond a perfectly executed escape room and into an immersive experience that I truly felt a part of from start to finish.

Strange Bird is an experience. There is a pre-show before the escape room that pulls you into the world, the escape room, a climax, and even a denouement. While I enjoyed the escape room, the pre-show was my highlight. It was so much fun. Super immersive!

We had a heard a lot of good things about the experience from the Escape Room Divas before going to the game and it did not disappoint. We did the upgrade for Tarot Readings and a pre-game libation which was a great way to set the stage of the experience. The puzzles were fun but not so challenging to take you away from the story which is the real star of the show. I really enjoyed the unique method for delivering hints in game.
