Storyline

Whilst out and about on our Eastside Chicago Tour, you’ll be swept up in a gripping story, brought to life by our top-notch writers:

You’re an aspiring art thief and you’ve just pulled off your first heist!

Now you just need a public place to nonchalantly disappear into… You act casual as you assume the demeanor of just another tourist. 

No one will know that your messenger bag holds one of the world’s most iconic pieces of 20th century modern art: Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks. If you can avoid attracting heat, you’ll make a cool hand-off, and become wealthy in an instant.

Maybe on your walk you’ll even find your next target!
