It's 1926 here in Chicago, and depression is still rife. Jobs are few and far between and the Prohibition has been in force for six years now. Everyone still drinks, nothin' has changed. But now the mob control the streets, the supply and the money. The influence of the Outfit is far reaching. Most of the cops are even under their control. Who can put them in the joint? You can, that's who. The Commissioner has put together a special task force of straight, trusted cops and you're on the team. You've spent the last few months infiltrating their network and now tonight is the night to get the evidence you need to put them away forever. But it won't be easy, your cover might be blown! Do you have what it takes?

Very puzzle heavy, with some maths involved. Maybe not as visually impressive as some of their rooms, but still appropriate for theme. This is a room for escape room lovers.

Gameplay

Flowed well, best take on a mob theme, but not novel.

Atmosphere

Fitting 1920s style

Customer service

Ed was a great games master, clearly loves escape rooms and was willing to give many recommendations.

Excellent large multi room set. played with team of 6 including 3 kids and a mix of novice and experienced players .plenty of room and tasks for everyone. Puzzles in the range of easy to moderate. Mostly padlocks with number or letter codes, but a number of mechanical puzzles kept it interesting. Great theming and a fun room

Another superb game by this venue. We really enjoyed the game, our GM Mi really helping with that thank you, the size and top build quality again being testimony to Tulleys. While a less physical room by their standards there was still plenty of distance covered. Play at this venue if you can

Tulley’s expertise shines through in rooms like this. They take a theme that has been done quite a lot in escape rooms but blow the competition out of the water. In each room including this you get more than you bargained for. The set designs are brilliant, the use of sound and lighting comportments the environment and the use of the space they have is second to none.

Although this was probably one of our least favourites at tulleys it still deserves the top mark as all their rooms are amazing! This room has some fun puzzles and is mostly a brain based room compared to some of their more physical rooms. I’d recommend doing them all if you can.

Like Mutiny, this room is one that you can replay because it's just great! The immersion, story and puzzles flow so well together. Some interesting puzzles and challenges to complete - be sure to use your listening skills!

  • ... some parts of this room are quite maths heavy so if that isn’t your strong point ...

    Review the Room
  • ..classic style..excels on quantity and quality of puzzles [and] the nicely executed period build.
