Shadows of Prohibition: The Montreal Escape
Montreal, 1920s. The air is thick with smoke, whispers, and forbidden drinks. You wake up under blooming cherry trees, a stranger’s jacket draped over you - and a wallet inside that could get you killed.
Al Capone’s friends don’t forgive easily. Follow the hidden trails of the city’s Prohibition past, solve puzzles to uncover secret bars and forgotten deals, and escape the night’s deadly mistake. Grab your friends or family, walk the misty streets, and piece together the clues before it’s too late.
This isn’t just a stroll - it’s a real-world mystery where your wit and nerve will shape your fate. Will you slip away unseen... or become part of the legend?

Storyline
Light goes through your retinas. Foggy, blurry light. Are those… cherry trees? The branches mix with flashes of liquors of all sorts.
As you stumble up, something in your pocket bothers you. (Take out your wallet, look at your cards.)
Who’s that? Could you have taken the wrong jacket?
Oh oh – you’ve been with dangerous people lately. Friends of Al Capone and Conrad Labelle. What if it’s theirs? Oh no, no… OK. Just remember the place, drop the jacket incognito, and you may live another day! Think!
