The Bootlegger’s Lair

escape room game details

Our biggest escape room challenge at our downtown Canton location, The Bootlegger's Lair took us 7 months to design and build. It’s clever and a hoot!

Researching local history and working with a game consultant (who had played over 40 escape rooms at that time - 17 of them in Europe), we set out to create a puzzle room in a class by itself. This is one of the better escape room games you'll find in Ohio.

Be our guest and you will learn about downtown Canton during the prohibition era as we take you back to the Roaring 20s.

You've been tasked by the city's Vice Lord, Jumbo Crowley, to search the gambling den / speakeasy of a local bootlegger. What secrets might it hold?

LENGTH OF GAME: up to 60 minutes
# OF PLAYERS: 4-10, (4-8 recommended)
DIFFICULTY: moderate - challenging
BEST TIME: 22:32 (no hints)
SUCCESS RATE: 48%
COST: $29/pp
