Event Overview

TopAct Events presents a special suspense-filled evening of secrets, surprise, and murder!  Come join us at Room 13, Old Chicago Inn’s very own Prohibition era-inspired speakeasy, for a classic 1920s interactive murder mystery party.

It’s the 1920s and the Mob is at it once again, with the shocking murder of the top crime boss right here in Chicago. You are a guest of the party and must solve the mystery before more chaos breaks out!  This event is improv-inspired, where you will get to play the role of a suspect, detective, or witness while mixing and mingling with others. 

Each ticket includes...

• 1920's themed cocktail party hors d'oeuvres 


• Raffle prize giveaways for mystery winners


• Photography to capture your murder mystery experience


• All murder mystery materials including a character sketch

*Cocktails will be available for purchase

Prior to the event, we will send guests their assigned character sketch along with an invitation, instructions, summary, and secret password for entry to the speakeasy. We encourage having a blast getting into character and dressing in 1920s themed attire.  Photos will be able to view after the event.

The resident bartender will be serving up classic cocktails, using recipes and ingredients that hearken from the Jazz Age and earlier. While pouring libations made with the finest ingredients, the bartender also shares knowledge of the history of the cocktail, often with cultural anecdotes that bring the Prohibition era to life.
