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.

Amazing, inventive room with stellar GM’s. So glad we made the trip out to this one. Completed as a group of 2. As mentioned in previous comments, the space is on the smaller side, so I think groups of 2-4 are ideal. We needed a couple extra minutes which they granted us (thank you to our amazing GM!). Creative puzzles that were just a blast all the way through! I wouldn’t miss this one.

This is the last room I did at MyssTic, and definitely my favorite! Every room has been delightful, but this room felt magical. Very cool mechanisms, and nearly every puzzle made sense within the room/plot. So impressive what they were and to achieve in such a small space!!

This was a beautiful experience. I absolutely loved how the gameplay and set interacted, especially with how the designers blended analog and tech perfectly. It’s honestly almost comparable to The Alchemist in the way it manages such a beautiful way of capturing the dual nature of mechanical and magical. It’s a challenging game, and the space is small, but if you have a cooperative team or if you can solve well this will be doable. MyssTic is absolutely a company that you must visit, and The Bird is their finest experience.

Challenging, but not impossible, with so many brilliant ahas

I thought the game was beautifully done. The room was very immersive and had a lot of cool tech. We went as a group of three experienced players and I felt that the room would have been better for a team of 2 at this experience level. The room is a tad small and everything was very linear so I spent a lot of time standing around and didn’t get to do much. Other than that, I thought they did a great job on the room!

The room was pretty small and very linear. With three experienced people, there was always an odd man out that didn’t get to do much.

Charming and fun, with vibrant game masters, Mysstic Rooms is a hidden gem in Park Slope. We loved The Bird and wished we could do it again. We went as a couple, and it was a great date. Highly recommend!

Gameplay

Awesome flow, and the story really came to life in the room.

Atmosphere

Excellent!! So many details and different kinds of puzzles, levels, and objects. The "lobby" is super charming, so you are immersed right as you come in.

Customer service

Our GM, Julia, was amazing. Her timing was impeccable with hints, and she was hilarious and really made us feel welcome and intrigued.

The room is small and you are navigating all over all the time. Maybe three people MAX. Or 4 if you are very comfortable with each other!

It was pretty hard! Themes were child friendly. A kid really into puzzles would like it, but a younger kid would be bored and confused.
