The de Lille family owned the Bird Apothecary for generations. Well-known for their magic and crafting talents, visitors came from afar to seek advice and magical remedies for all ailments. The apothecary was named after the family’s cherished bird, which they had miraculously kept alive for generations using their magic. In fact, the entire village thrived on the apothecary’s success and reputation—until the bird tragically passed away. Johann de Lille, the family’s youngest descendant and a brilliant alchemist, had been working on an elixir of rebirth—but he failed to finish it in time to save the bird. The de Lille family has since moved on, but it appears some magic still lingers in the abandoned pharmacy. Could this lingering magic be harnessed one final time? Maybe all hope is not yet lost.

My favorite room here at Mysstic rooms and perhaps one of my top 10 all time. Read the other reviews, it truly lives up to the hype. For starters it delivers in that it is very creative, beautifully designed, and has an intuitive puzzle flow- as many others mention, even in such a tight space. But it also has that element which separates the good rooms from the great ones; it touches your heart and somehow through the process you find yourself enjoying an experience that transcends the genre. Needless to say, this is a must play…and I’ll even go so far to say that perhaps this is the best small business produced escape room in the 5 boroughs of NYC. Our group of 5 finished the room with no hints in about 51 mins, puzzles moderate difficulty.

For a small room, this one packs a punch of puzzles. I would not suggest more than 2-3 players as it can get very crowded. There is one area that requires climbing even though climbing is not allowed. Highly recommend this room.

The best set design I have ever seen. Puzzles are well done and thoughtfully integrated into the room. GM was sweet and had a positive attitude. Overall had such a great experience that we knew we had to come back and do their other rooms.

This was a great looking room with some unique puzzles and an interesting story. We were a group of two, which worked really well. I wouldn’t want to play it with more than three.

Some steps.

Accessibility

No vision related issues. The only colour based puzzle also had symbols to accomodate. It was a tighter room, though, with some steps. Would be difficult if you have mobility issues. Communication with GM was mostly through audio, so hearing impaired players may have issues when asking for or being offered hints.

We absolutely loved our experience in The Bird escape room! The setting was incredibly immersive and felt magical, with some real “wow” factors that took us by surprise. The storyline was well-crafted and engaging, and we were impressed by the fresh concepts that we hadn’t seen before. Everything flowed together seamlessly, and it definitely required attention to detail, adding to the fun and challenge. It was just two of us, and we found that to be plenty of time to finish the puzzles and escape. Overall, it was a top-notch escape room experience, and we’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for something unique and well-designed. Overall rating: 9.5/10
