The Ravenite: mafia escape room

It's a Tuesday night. Three of you are sitting at the back table — you, Jimmy Two-Suits, and an out-of-town guy from the Philly crew who came to discuss a piece of business. Cards on the table. Drinks poured. The conversation is heading somewhere serious.

Then the radio crackles. Word from the street: FBI vehicles on Mott Street. They hit the building next door. They are not stopping there.

Jimmy goes white. The Philly guy is already on his feet.

You have minutes — maybe less — before they come through that door. Whatever is in this room that connects you to anything: it cannot be here when they arrive. The ledger. The wire. The papers. All of it.

Sanitise the club. Then get through the side door into the hallway and up to the apartment where the real talking happens. The door to the roof is padlocked. Crack it before they come up the stairs, and get out clean.
