The Strange Secret of Mr. Adrian Rook

What is The Strange Secret of Mr. Adrian Rook?

A live-streamed online immersive theatre show where you visit the proprietors of several of the strange businesses at Strange Bird as they host an online open house. It was created to help keep Strange Bird flying when we realized our in-person experiences would remain closed for an extended period of time.

Is this an escape room game?

No. This is an immersive theatre experience: our actors will entertain you and occasionally engage you in activities or questions. There are clues throughout that will culminate in a final mystery for you to uncover.

Are there puzzles?

Not as you may be used to. There are no ciphers, no morse code—nothing that would distract you from your visit with the tenants. There is, however, a mystery to solve, and like a real mystery, you’ll want to pay attention to what clues each tenant gives, and see how the clues piece together at the end.

Is the ticket per person or per device?

We kindly request that you purchase one ticket per guest. This preserves the intimacy of the group and also helps us in our ultimate goal of making rent.

What is the experience like?

Imagine a virtual Open House: your group will visit six different Zoom rooms, each with a different tenant. You will rotate between rooms every 15 minutes. A webpage will guide you through the rooms.

Why should I experience it with friends?

This show is designed to connect us again—with strangers, with friends. There are some intimate questions and fun engagements, all of which are made richer with friends.

Do I have to participate?

Not at all! You can turn off your video and mic, sit back and just watch. Interacting with the actors is voluntary. But we'd love to see you.

I haven’t played The Man From Beyond yet. Can I attend this show without spoilers?

Certainly. This experience tells the story of Strange Bird Immersive and features no spoilers for The Man From Beyond.

Can I share a device with another guest?

You may choose to share a device if you wish, but please set your Zoom name to represent everyone on screen so that we may address everyone by name.

I have a group bigger than 8 people, can I add more?

Certainly. Contact us at [email protected].

What device should I use?

We recommend a desktop or laptop, to make it easier to navigate between Zoom meetings. Tablets and iPads can also work, but we discourage phones.

What if I experience technical difficulties?

If internet gremlins should strike before or during your show, contact us at [email protected], and we will do what we can to make it right.

May I book without knowing all my participants yet?

Yes. Please put "TBD" for the name and your email address. When you do know who will be attending, please [email protected] that information.
