All of these rooms are 10/10s for different reasons, and for strange bird, that reason is having the best integrated story in an escape room that I've ever seenįrom the minute you enter the building, you feel like you arent in an escape room lobby, but rather looking for the madame for the seance. The Man From Beyond - 10/10 (One of the top 5 rooms in the United states).Įscape room ratings tend to be inflated so a 10/10 doesnt mean much, but out of all the rooms I've done, the only other rooms to get this rating from me are storykeeper in Seattle, lab rat in Los Angeles, and (mayne) cutthroat cavern/tomb of anubis in new Orleans. Luckily for us, it worked out, as I can easily say that this is one of the best rooms I've ever done. After those other rooms proved to be fairly underwhelming, the entire trip hinged on this one room being good. And so we decided to plan a weekend trip to Houston from the west coast just for this one room - and we booked a few other well regarded ones in the area. Strange bird caught our eye as one of the best rooms in the United states according to TERPECA, and was the only room in the US weve yet to do in the top 20. You have 60 minutes to complete the seance and contact Harry Houdini.I've done over 100 escape rooms across the United states (New Orleans, Los angeles, the bay area), and travel to cities specifically to do highly rated escape rooms. Will you succeed in helping Bess to contact her beloved husband one last time or will Houdini rest in silence forever? You have come to her aid in an attempt to help her succeed before she puts out the lights on Harry’s shrine for good. Bess has decided that this will be her final attempt before she will give up on trying to contact Houdini forever. Ten years since the death of Harry Houdini. Unfortunately, each year has been met with the same result – failure to contact Harry. On the anniversary of his death every year since his passing, Bess has performed a seance at The Knickerbocker hotel in hopes of contacting Houdini. If she was successful, Harry was to reveal the phrase “Rosabel, Believe”, a reference to their favorite musical tune.

Prior to his death, he and his beloved wife, Bess, had discussed her trying to contact him in the afterlife.
