You are about to enter into an immersive and interactive Theater experience set in the roaring 20's.  

It’s a typical night at Ruth’s Speakeasy, where you can find the best moonshine and jazz singers in town. 

Gangsters, crooked cops, businessmen, and rising stars can all be found here,

and everyone respects Ruth’s rules of “no business” and “no guns.” 

However, betrayal, vengeance, and greed threaten the peace, and one person ends up killed. 

Was it the crooked police chief? 

The sultry jazz singer? 

A scorned woman?

Find out the secrets and solve the mystery!!

You are HIGHLY encouraged to come in costume, although, it is not required.

You will be provided with Clue Questions to ask the possible suspects and a map of all the local places the suspects hang out so you can track them down and find the clues.  

Your adventure begins at check in where you will receive the secret password to gain entry to the Speakeasy.  You will then meet the host of characters, but keep your eyes and ears open for any hints that might be dropped.  The scene will unfold and the murder will happen and then the questioning begins… more of the action will unfold before you are released to follow the leads and track down the clues scattered throughout our local business community.  Put your detective hats on, collect your clues, and return to the scene of the crime to cast your ballot for our killer and then re-enter the Speakeasy to see if you got all the details right! 

We suspect all of you will uncover the identity of our murderer so you can be entered into all of the prize drawing but be sure everyone will have a chance to walk away with a prize.

We also encourage you to post on social media and take pictures with our suspects!  Please however at no time share the solution so the other groups can have the pleasure of solving the crime on their own.
