OUTSMART THE ORIGINAL ESCAPE ARTIST!
In 1915, Harry Houdini designed a mysterious room to test the brains and abilities of eight great American innovators. To this day you can still find this escape room in San Francisco California’s Palace of Fine Arts, awaiting new challengers.
In The Great Houdini Escape Room, you will take the place of the twentieth century’s most brilliant minds, to solve the old magician’s puzzles and prove yourself worthy of the title Master Escape Artist.
Can you out-escape the master?
