a virtual immersive theatre mystery
Something isn’t right at Strange Bird Immersive. Our doors are closed, no strangers to greet. And Adrian Rook, secretary to the Raven Queen, has gone missing.
We need you to change the narrative.
You are cordially invited to Strange Bird's virtual Open House. Meet unusual tenants, witness strange events, and help us locate our beloved Mr. Rook.
Give the gift of experience, no matter where they are, with
gift vouchers to Strange Secret.
Mystery, magic, and the power of connection for you and your team.
Dates available through February.

We want to keep your flock, and ours, safe. Here’s what we’re doing to protect you during your adventure with us…
Book for 2-8 guests, and enjoy a private venue from entrance to exit.
There are times in the show when social distancing is not possible.
Our actors wear masks, and we require them for guests at all times.
We’re disinfecting props, knobs, antiques, and secrets
between each and every game.
We’re swapping out paper goods and other hand-held props
with duplicates, and resting them for a decontamination period.
We’ve installed a powerful HEPA filter in the séance
parlor to help keep the air clear.
Actors are monitoring health and checking temperatures
before each shift. Please do the same: if anyone in your
party feels off, we will issue a raincheck or refund.
We will continue to monitor health advisories and government recommendations and will make further adjustments to our operations as warranted. Do reach out to us if you have any questions.
Strange Bird Immersive presents The Man From Beyond, an original story combining immersive theatre and an escape room.
Locked in a room with friends, you must discover the room’s secrets and solve its puzzles before time runs out.
The world of the story surrounds you, characters hold out their hands to you, and no one is a passive spectator.
A 90 minute experience that brings stakes and realism to the escape game and introduces agency to the theatre.
"The best of the best"
"Powerful... moving"
"By popular vote"

"Wowed us..."

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.
...created, built, and experienced only in Houston
Professional actors dedicated to realism from the moment you walk through the door
Responsive light and sound effects deliver a cinematic experience
Custom-designed sets and puzzles that never require guessing to solve
