Its 1929 in the Boom of Tulsa's Finest Oil strikes. These oil businessmen are hitting their all-time records of finding oil and hitting it rich. Waite Phillips, one of Tulsa's biggest tycoons has just built Tulsa's first largest skyscraper "The Philltower''. She is the "Queen of the Skyline" as people call her. This building is so beautiful that Tulsa is starting to catch the eye of the riff raff in Chicago. As these robbers and thieves start to hear word of Tulsa's Oil, these bad boys start heading our way. Waite Phillips has another plan up his sleeve though ( before they even try to think about taking his money) To protect him and his colleagues as well as the empire that they have built here in Tulsa, they begin to construct the first Underground Tunnel system to protect their assets to make it to the bank safely without anything getting into the robbers' hands (and for a little whiskey once in a while as well since we are in this prohibition time.... don't want to get that stash caught either) The Chicago boys have arrived and Waite Phillips is now missing! Help to find the hidden clues left along the way and unlock the first part of the mystery of where he could be found. Join us on this new adventure from The Xcapery. Learn real local history while playing, see the original sites of 1929 and surroundings of where Waite Phillips walked himself and the Underground mystery of Tulsa!

We had an incredible experience! It’s a bit difficult for only 2 people but very doable if you work quickly remember lots! The tie in with the history of the Philtower was a highlight for both of us and the puzzles were very fun and a bit difficult at times! Having experiences with murder mystery rooms in the past, this was the perfect balance, allowing you to both escape and solve the mystery! If you are in Tulsa and haven’t tried this room, you need to! I just started a job here and can’t wait to do more Xcapery rooms in the future!! P.S.: the included drink at the beginning of the experience was another highlight! Both alcoholic and nonalcoholic options available.
