The Man From Beyond

Love the actor’s performance and puzzles!!!

I loved this room! It was worth traveling to Houston to play. They made this room extra special for me and I’m so grateful to everyone at Strange Bird Immersive. I had just finished chemotherapy and treated myself to playing this room. They were kind enough to do a tarot reading for all three of us in my party and they gave us a non alcoholic spritz while we got our readings. The big box puzzle really stumped us but the answer was right in front of our faces. My friends were really worried they wouldn’t be able to solve the puzzles but it is doable for intermediate escapees. One of the keys was out before we unlocked it so they had to come in and put it away because we got ahead of the game but that still didn’t detract from our experience. I got a little teary at the end because the storyline is a little love transcending death and since I’m dealing with cancer, death has weighed heavily on my mind. I loved the way they set up the hint system. It’s a nod to the time period. There is so much attention to detail. The thank you tarot cards has a link on it and if you follow it, you’re in for more surprises. Great job on a game well made! Highly recommend hitting Traveler’s Table nearby for dinner after you play.

Our 400th room and one of my favorite escape rooms of all time! I wish I could give this room higher than a heart. It’s more than an escape room. It’s a spiritual experience. Please, from one enthusiast to another, live out this masterpiece for yourself. Take a step and go to Houston just for this. After all, why shouldn’t you?

As an experience, I would comfortably rate this a 9 or even 9.5 out of 10. It was incredibly cool. As an escape room, I would probably rate it a 7 out of 10. The immersion is fantastic. Madame Daphne is fantastic (though I think my wife may have developed a bit of a girl crush... lol). The set design is fantastic. I think for me, what the room was missing was the visceral reaction, the stakes if you will. Still, I really enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Houston!

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).

This room was absolutely amazing. Truly immersive. Great puzzles thatade sense given the theme. Aesthetic was beautiful as was the wonderful Madame Daphne. Cannot recommend this enough

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.
