Without having to resort to spoilers, let me just say the story is extremely interesting, the acting very good, the period pieces fun to view and it's a pretty clean movie so grandma can also enjoy it, too, without language or sex concerns. It's not an easy film to totally digest, even with two viewings, because that ending has some mind-boggling revelations. Sometimes it's even more fun to view a film like this when you know a few things, because earlier scenes take on new meaning. Be careful though, as Houdini was known for his escape tricks! You don’t want to be trapped in his workshop forever.I've seen this film twice now - about a year ago and then yesterday - and thoroughly enjoyed it both times, even the second time when I remembered some of those fantastic twists in the last half hour. Harry Houdini dedicated himself to debunking self-proclaimed mystics in his later years, so you can be sure that his workshop is full of clues and secrets to be uncovered.

Our escape rooms are based in NYC, so you can experience the thrill of being in the same city as the famed illusionist himself. If you’re looking for an escape room that’s full of fun puzzles and challenges, then Houdini’s Workshop is perfect for you. So come, be amazed, and get pictures of your friends looking dumb. Houdini is a unique magic themed escape room in that it also features several moments that are perfect group photo opportunities – and unlike many other rooms, we want you to take pictures in Houdini! We spent a great of time working out the best ways to present magic tricks to players, without someone in the room to perform the trick for the players, and without giving away to the players the secret to the effect. Houdini’s Workshop is heavily inspired by magic shows and the illusions of Houdini, with several moments in the game that use elements of stage magic seamlessly along with the puzzles to create a truly mystifying experience for your team. Our Houdini escape room takes you back in time to 1926, to the place where Houdini prepared all his illusions and tricks for his shows.
