Tickets for the Houdini-themed room cost $25 per person, with separate rates for private rental of the entire room. There’s no better place for an original birthday or bachelorette outing.
If Houdini isn’t your style, never fear: other themes at The Fifth Wall include the mob, Detroit-centric true crime and plenty of macabre Michigan history in the “Weirder Stuff” room.
