AMAZING. We've worked through a few dozen escape rooms now, and this one was by far, unquestionably, absolutely the best one we've done!
The layout is genius, the decoration is PERFECT, the format is unique and fresh, the acting was top-shelf and professional (they never once broke character), the puzzles were paced well, everything worked, and they've incorporated a really clever mix of clever electronic stuff with smart manual tricks. The actors are perfectly enmeshed into the story, and the result is exactly what they've advertised: a completely immersive experience.

I've been to a little over a dozen escape rooms and this is my favorite, by far. I love the concept of interacting with a live actor at various points during the escape room, so it's both a bit of interactive theater AND a really well done escape room. The puzzles are clever and the props are really high quality. My escape partner and I *barely* missed escaping, mostly due to covering up an important clue with some of the props. But that was our bad; the experience was easily the most thoughtfully designed and fun escape room I've ever done. Highly recommend!

I've done a lot of escape rooms and most of all the popular ones in Houston. This hands down is the best of the bunch.

We have done over 40 escape rooms, and Strange Bird was by far the absolute best. It’ll be extremely difficult to top this one. I really can’t recommend it enough, just an awesome experience all around.

There are not words to describe this experience. First of all, the cast of Strange Bird Immersive is talented on another level. What should be mentioned is that another skill they have mastered is that of guest service. They were able to set up a custom time for my group last month as we were coming from out of town and that meant the world!
It is an experience from the moment you book your spot. Madame Daphne had to be just the most brilliant person. She makes even the most skeptical among us have to believe! If you are an escape room fan, this is for you as there is nothing like it! If you are a theatre fan, this is for you as there is nothing like it!
If you just like making incredible memories and having fun...this is for you!
So many thanks to Madame Daphne & Harry Houdini and the whole cast & crew at Strange Bird immersive for the BEST experience!!

We have done several of these as a family and this was one of the best escape rooms we have done. Great puzzles, great story, and the immersive theater really took it over the top. Great job and thanks for a very enjoyable afternoon!

The most immersive escape game I've ever played, with awesome actors and great story. Love all the actors in this game, really set you into a mood. The whole game feels like a piece of art, from beginning to the end. They utilized the space really well and achieved a lot within limited space. We played a lot of escape games and this one is unforgettable.

This is one of the best escape rooms games anywhere. Absolute must-see. I've played around 20 at this point, mostly in Houston but also in other cities, and there's nothing that's like this. It's almost a different genre entirely. The level of detail and thought are outstanding, the production values are high, the actors are skilled, the puzzles are fair but challenging. I can talk about it for hours (and have), but you should really see it for yourself.
Do allow plenty of time to get there; it's in an odd location and you're not going to just drive up to the front door, but it won't be a problem if you pay attention to the directions they send out. And you might get stuck behind a train.

Went with my husband one Friday night. Along with us there were two other couples, none of which knew each other. You become immersed in the story almost immediately upon entering the door at the top of the stairs. The actress that plays the seance leader is incredibly good as she preps you for the rest of the evening. This was the first escape type room my husband and I had done, but it was throughly entertaining. The interaction with the two actors is also very intriguing Can not wait for their next production.

It was my first visit ever to an escape room and it really was a great experience and a lot of fun.
I found this special concept of a hybrid between interactive theatre and an escape room amazing and extremely well put into action.
Not aimed at cheap thrill-seeking or fierce competition but with everything so diligently and lovingly designed by truly creative minds the whole thing is a piece of art in itself.
Right from the moment when you enter the first room and are greeted by the dubious psychic Madame Daphne around all her bizarre surroundings you can't help but being enthralled.Decent mystic music, scents and cryptic messages draw you instantly into the world from „The man beyond“ and you can't wait to start and solve the big secret behind Houdini's death,
It gets even better when you come into the real escape room where your team has to unravel all the hidden puzzles.It's so obvious how much love and soul was put into this production.Utmost care and attention was given even to the tiniest detail to evoke this special atmosphere of an old mystery and you are a part of it.
Of course I can't say much about the puzzles except that they are all diverse, witty and highly entertaining.Everybody of the team is asked and each one can contribute since many different abilities are required and only working together as a team will lead to success.
An occasional surprise and carefully, but highly effectively placed special effects gives just the right amount of a light chill down your spine and with every solved mystery a (figurative) puzzle falls into place and gets you closer to the whole picture.
If you got stuck hints can be reqired by a very clever chosen device which fits seamlessly with the features and general atmosphere of the room.
When you've composed all the puzzles you are rewarded with the big finale and like everything in this production it's classy and sophisticated and adds just the right touch of real emotion to make this truly memorable.
Highly recommendable.
