Few things in life can be compared to the satisfaction of unravelling a good mystery. We’ve found you a more exciting alternative to yelling at your TV screen during true-crime documentary binges or re-watching Knives Out: Glass Onion. An actual Murder Mystery experience at Flashback Speakeasy where you can dress up, get down to hunting for clues, and step into the sets of a real Whodunit.
Paramount Hotel’s ‘Murder in the Speakeasy’ series is back with a fascinating new homicide to solve every Thursday. Called ‘Flappers, Fools, and Fatalities’, there’s a fresh crime, with crooked characters, shocking twists and a dose of comedy.
Getting to the venue is a mystery in itself
The award-winning hidden bar, Flashback Speakeasy is tucked away behind a secret library door in Paramount Hotel. Once you’ve traced your way to this secret bar that’s styled after Prohibition-era bars from the 1920s, you’ll find yourself transported to New York circa the Jazz Age. As if that wasn’t exciting enough, the crime scene’s set in 1920s New York, which means plenty of The Great Gatsby-era glam.
Here’s a sneak peek of the plot
And in keeping with the theme Broadway singer Simone, has been murdered at Bugzy’s Speakeasy. The N.Y.P.D. knows that Bugzy’s is a thriving hub where New York City mafia gangs meet.
