Theme:
“CSI – The Mafia Murders is our fantastic murder mystery escape room! A fan of mysteries or Cluedo? This one is for you!

With a list of suspects you must investigate the crime scene and one by one rule them out to put the killer behind bars! Set inside the stunning set of an art deco Mafia club, it’s an extremely exciting experience.

With only 60 minutes on the clock, can you crack the case in time?”

Mafia Murders was decorated very well, with clean classy décor in an art deco style. The space was more than large enough for the maximum team size and in all parts of the game there was comfy spots to sit down to go through the evidence. Immersive and cohesive in its décor, with good bright lighting and a GREAT sounds track!

Game Play:
A linear game, which focused on logic, observation, word and deduction (being a murder mystery after all!)
As can be expected with a murder mystery type game, there is a LOT of reading, sorting through information and making deductions.
There are puzzles which lead you to getting this information and those puzzles are fun and logical, with nice ah-ha moments and no ambiguity.
The puzzles are all wholly in theme and intrinsic to the game.
Signposting was excellent, with good direction but not too much hand holding.
Flow was good, with us progressing steadily through the game and no sticky spots.

Clue System:
Clues were delivered via walkie talkie

Game Host:
James was our game host and he was great, delivering an enthusiastic brief and perfectly timed clues throughout the game.

Did we escape?
Yes, in about 45 minutes.
