Mark as done to rate

Mitzi Gaylord was a gal with a special talent. Her voice was taking her places until someone wanted to silence her. She was last seen performing at the Horseshoe Club, a secret hub of criminal activity. The local PD have been working the case, but it has gone cold. There's reason to believe that the notorious gangster, known as Al Capone, has something to do with Mitzi's disappearance. Catching Capone however won't be easy. Only those with the finest detective skills have a chance at solving this mystery! Think you have what it takes to bring down one of the most infamous criminals in history? Get your CHASE On!

REALLY great room, particularly for a group of 4 or more people who have at least a few rooms under their belts. I wouldn’t recommend this room for beginners or small groups. It’s a lot to do. But the effects and puzzles make it worth the price. In an area where it sits as the only escape room for miles, it’s shockingly great! We will be back to do more!!

The props and sets were thoroughly impressive and so immersive and fun!

Awkward but good. Nothing incredible.

Al Capone themed obviously but truly the set up was not something I hadn’t seen yet!

It’s been a week and I couldn’t tell you most of the plot but it’s straight forward enough in the moment.

General knowledge of the 1920s and decent math skills are definitely a need for this one.

Is a lot of going between the rooms with 2 people, probably would be much less with more people.

Accessibility

Mobility disabled may have trouble getting through the doors or behind the bar or on the stage. Hearing may have trouble with the instructions and plot that come over the intercom part way through the game. Vision impaired would have trouble. Color blindness may have trouble.

Weird basement, local parking building.

Rating: 4/5 - Easily the best Speakeasy/Capone room I've played, it's puzzle heavy with strong theming throughout Why this room is great: ➕Very high quality set with tons of details and it was decorated floor to ceiling. ➕Every prop and puzzle fit the theme ➕Multiple rooms to discover ➕Puzzles were fun and satisfying, with a good variety ➕Nice amount of tech mixed with mechanical locks. ➕Very puzzle heavy, so you'll be busy over the 90min, but nothing was too difficult or unfair, some layering to the puzzles. ➕Some non-linearity so you don't all have to work on the same puzzles ➕The audio, voice-over, and lighting effects added to the immersion ➕Lighting was sufficient, no flashlights needed ➕Good observation skills required ➕GM was friendly and helpful when needed While not what I'd consider a top level TERPECA room since it doesn't do anything innovative or particularly unique, it is still a wonderful experience and worth driving a couple hours here to play this and Tut. I personally preferred Tut because I like the more fantastical set but I liked the puzzles more in Capone. I'd recommend a team of 2-4 enthusiasts.

This game was SOOO fun!!! Played it around the time when it first opened and it is honestly one of the best rooms I’ve ever played. Room design is PHENOMENAL- SO IMMERSIVE AND DETAILED!! The room is so well thought out even down to the lighting- it’s not blinding but not too dim so it just elevates the whole experience. No complaints, 10/10 would play again 👠

I will happily do ALL the rooms at this venue. This one was fantastic. There are touches we have never seen despite having done about 40 escape rooms. Creative and fun. The props seem to be bespoke and quite specific to this game. Absolutely loved it.

Overall rating - 9.1/10 Puzzles - 9 Gameplay - 9 Atmosphere - 9 Experience - 10 For a breakdown of my weighted rating system you can refer to my bio. I need to preface this review by saying this was the game that started it all for me so I'm probably pretty biased. That being said, I have done 50+ rooms now and I am still fairly confident this room holds up. I think I was pretty lucky to get this as my first room, I don't know if I would have fallen in love with escape rooms if I had started with a bad room. There are some very fun reveals and I think the puzzles are unique and fair. XScape does some nice custom sound/lighting work and the staff are always fantastic. Highly recommend.

90 minute room. Aesthetics and design were top notch. Sort of felt like a Universal Studios ride. The first room/puzzles were a bit difficult but once we got rolling, it was really fun. This was my favorite room of the bunch. Puzzles weren't too difficult in the main room.

Really liked this room! We went in as a group of 2 so I was a little unsure but we got out with plenty of time left! We made the mistake of not doing our usual inventory check when we get in the room so that cost of some time but we made up for it!
