It’s the tail end of the Prohibition era in Chicago and Al Capone has a stranglehold on all the Bootleg liquor in the city. As the newest members of The North side mob, Bugsy needs you to prove yourself and steal something right from under Scarface’s nose! Don’t let him down, or you’ll be sleeping with the fishes!

This is a superb game. We came to do 51.5 really but we think we actually enjoyed this one even more. It’s a superb game, fantastic setting and story with really clear signposting. The puzzles were excellent and we both had strong games with a number of the puzzles being worked out after a bit of thought which leads to the excellent hosting by the lovely Anne as she didn’t jump in with clues allowing us to get them in our own time but with a little nudge when needed. It’s a very different story to 51.5 so highly recommended if you’re coming for that

This was a fun theme and things were very well integrated and hidden - some really fantastically hidden clues within the room. Our host Anne was great fun and enthusiastic.

Most things were reachable, there were some cupboards that were higher up and I think you’d struggle a little if you didn’t have a team member who was at least 5”6 or so.

Accessibility

You need to be able to look low and reach into some taller cupboards and there’s a step to go over - but a reasonably accessible game

Easy to find location

Yes

Perhaps not super obvious - use the main door facing the main road and look for signs as you go in

Parking

Easy

Plenty of cheap nearby parking

Room design very well done again from this company. Quite tricky and needed ~9 nudges.

This was my first ever escape room and Angela (owner) ran this room and she was amazing. Friendly and funny and really welcomed us. Totally enjoyed my first game, great theme to the room felt transported back in time. Ended up playing all 4 of their games. New room (Area 51 and half) on the way and can’t wait for it to open !!
