Madame Daphne cordially invites you to a private séance 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.

This is one of the best escape rooms I’ve experienced. The story was entertaining. The room was immersive. I highly recommend.

Probably the best escape room I’ve ever done. And what makes this one so unique is that it’s an escape room/ immersive theater hybrid. Just so beautiful and well thought out in every aspect. Also, my brother and I (both experienced escape roomers) were able to complete this room, just the two of us.

One of the highest rated rooms in the country for a reason - its just as much immersive theater performance as it is an escape room and I only wish more rooms included this kind of experience. VIP experience was very worth it, helped build the tone beautifully and we loved our Daphne. My biggest concern was with how much of this would feel like a traditional escape room and it did not disappoint.

This is hands down the best Escape Room / Immersive Theater Experience I have ever been apart of. I am up in Oklahoma and find myself recommending this to folks here. If you have the time and money, making the trek down to Houston is well worth the visit.

I’ll need to make room in my top five again for Strange Bird. From the lobby to the gameplay everything was great. Madame Daphne was great and pulled you in to the immersion immediately. Some very cool scenes and props that are one of a kind. Not a typical escape room and more immersion theater but was a perfect blend of puzzles and theater. Some will say the price is high but plan on an hour and a half to two hours. It’s a great game and must do if you are in the Houston area. By far the best one I’ve done in Texas so far.

This is my new favorite game of all time. It’s incredible how they were able to craft such a rich story AND include the special effects and puzzles. A truly beautiful experience.

An amazing and immersive experience. Absolutely sold me on the concept of actors in escape rooms. I can see why this is so consistently highly reviewed - well worth the wait and the price!
