Mark as done to rate

Permanently Closed - It’s Prohibition, and gangster Enoch “Knucky” Johnson has been using the Laurel Hotel as a safe house for his supply of booze. As a hotel employee, you’ve just been informed that Al Capone has poisoned one of Knucky’s bootleg bottles of booze. Knucky is on his way. When the notorious gangster arrives, it would not be wise to give him poisoned hooch, or to give him nothing. You have just one hour to find the tainted bottle!

Fun room! Plenty to stay busy for two people. Not a lot of technology but still still a great room! All of the puzzles made sense.

Despite questionable reviews, Charm City Clue Room delivered a very positive experience for our group! The Gangsters Gamble room was a traditional throwback - quite mechanical and hands-on approach and design. The theme was fun and puzzles were plenty. Our group found much success at many parts, but also appreciated hints at others. We only escaped with seconds remaining! We’d love to return again.

The room was very fun, traditional, and hands-on. There was no technology, no surprises, and at times it appeared out dated. This didn’t stifle gameplay; however it also didn’t bolster gameplay.

Story

The plot wasn’t memorable. It was coherent and consistent but it did feel at times rudimentary and random.

Difficulty

Medium

Puzzles were fun and challenging. Plenty of locks and tasks needing to be completed in time.

Very traditional and old school feel to this room.

Extremely linear and mostly combination locks. Room was sparsely decorated and had minimal ambiance to the theme of the room. We were told this one was the hardest but it wasn’t too bad just that it had so many combination locks. A little boring.

Stairs required to go to rooms and I don’t see an elevator anywhere.

Google maps led us to the back of the building. But entrance is on waters st.

Six of us attending a conference played this room. Some of the puzzles required out of the box thinking. Fun room!
