Such an amazing experience. My group was in the 21-45 age range and we all equally enjoyed it to the fullest!!! The acting, set-up, and puzzles were amazing from start to finish. I am eager for the next experience and definitely plan on coming back!
I booked this for my birthday week. ALL my friends loved it. We did the VIP experience which includes a cocktail and tarot card reading. Highly recommend that for an elevated experience. We will be coming back in 2026 when the new room is ready!
This place is all it is cracked up to be. We went with eight friends to do the séance with Houdini. From the time we walked in the door until we left it was truly unique and first class. The amount of time they take to build out these incredible environments is unreal and the actors are top-notch. Our experience was the best we’ve ever had with anything like this. Yes, it was an escape room, but it really is not quite depicted like that. I think it’s an understatement and doesn’t do it justice to say that it’s just an escape room. Without revealing in more detail, I will just highly advise You to take the leap and see what this place is all about. We were very impressed.
What. An. Experience!! If you are an escape room enthusiast, move this up your priority wishlist. If you're someone in Houston looking for a unique experience, consider making a reservation. A totally immersive experience that blends the thrill of an escape room with the performance of theater. From the moment we stepped in, the game, in essence, had begun. Having done several escape rooms, we were not prepared for what was in store. The entrance/lobby itself was thematic. No "staff" waiting at a desk but a note that sets your imagination running. We were really impressed by how the formalities were handled (like rules and waivers) - didn't even realize it because of the immersion! The professional live actors did a phenomenal job creating an atmosphere of suspense, curiosity, and emotion. They delivered their lines convincingly with effortless inserts of improv. You are encouraged to participate appropriately. While the actual "escape room game time" is 60 mins, expect to spend 1.5-2 hrs in total. It's worth arriving early just to get immersed in their space (and use the restroom). While the puzzles - taken in isolation - were not overly difficult, it was still challenging because of non-linear gameplay, understanding of what needs to be solved, and the variety of puzzles. If everyone is experienced, a group of 4 is ideal. The game doesn't tell you "this is where you start"; it begins unexpectedly and you start figuring things out (exciting!). Just start doing what makes sense to you and eventually, you will get into the flow. The game is spooky and atmospheric (not "scary" but a few "ohh!" moments). Hints become "available" and are communicated... but only when you need them (an interesting approach!). The cast stayed in character throughout. If you cannot find a time slot or everything is booked, you can call them and request for a special time - subject to cast availability. Note that they are on the third floor and the gated entry to the complex may require a code (which they will provide). This was not just an escape room. It's a concept executed beautifully.
Wow wow wow! I cannot recommend this place enough! Four of us came here to celebrate my birthday and we had such a blast! We did the VIP experience and did the cocktails and tarot card readings and it was so much fun. The whole story is based on actual facts and you really get immersed in solving the puzzles. The puzzles are challenging enough, but solvable. The two actors were absolutely amazing!I loved every second that I was here and I didn’t want it to end. I cannot wait until they have a new room for us to go. Try because I will absolutely be back!
