An absolutely transcendent, magical, thrilling, captivating, and (most importantly) human experience. For an escape room enthusiast such as myself who has played almost 200 rooms, this knocked me off my feet. From the set design to the puzzle integration down to the historically researched details of every element of the production, this was a truly revolutionary experience. I am a geek for room flow and design to the point where I often become a "director" in escape rooms, stepping back from puzzle-solving to analyze how every element is flowing and put together. The way "The Man from Beyond" was constructed was so well thought out. The immersive theater aspects did not hinder the "puzzle play" aspects. In fact, the immersive theater portions enhanced the meaning behind why you were solving these strange puzzles in the first place. I never felt as if the actors or story were "getting in the way" of me solving a puzzle. Major props to Strange Bird for thinking through the logistics of their medium to deliver an experience that was anything but frustrating. Strange Bird has definitely created something that will hopefully become part of the industry-standard moving forward. The cast and "crew" were all top-notch and delivered an experience that brought me to tears. Never has the agency I have felt in an escape room led to a payoff as emotionally rich and rewarding as this room. I don't want to spoil the ending, but suffice to say it will make you think about the most important people in your life (living and dead) and appreciate their contribution to your existence. What is real? What is magic? Are those two mutually exclusive? All questions you will grapple with at this remarkable place. I cannot stop thinking about this experience and neither will you. Bravo Strange Bird Immersive!

What a blast! I've seen his show several times, and it never disappoints! Even when you think you know what's going on, even if you've seen his show before, unexpected events and hilarity always ensue. I love how he engages with the crowd in a very intimate setting, it feels like you're truly at a special VIP event. This is an experience you must have if you're in town visiting! And if you live in Houston, put this on your to-do list already!

If you have never been, you need to get there as soon as possible! It is intimate and there is never a bad band. I have been over 100 times in the last ten years, often to artist I already know, but sometimes just because I’m in the mood for some live music. Rusty always shows his guests a great time! The food is another amazing part of the night. There is nothing bad on the menu, but I especially love to get the shepard’s pie! The drinks and beer are reasonably priced as well.
