The Party is over! Smokey, the bartender, announces, that the doors of his bar remain closed, until he will gets back his beloved prized can of vintage Schlitz, which has disappeared. We want to find Smokey’s Schlitz and so we break into his bar at night.

Original story, well done, within a Honkytonbar decorated true to the original from the 80s. You can well imagine the regular audience here. Logical puzzles that fit the theme well. In addition to the GM camera, there are several area cameras, that are unlocked depending on the progress of the game and help the players keeping the overview. Also still images are unlocked during the game that bring additional puzzles or tasks.

Thanks to Erica and Rob from Stratton for hosting us and to Cici and Brandon from ESCAPETHEROOMers NY, for inviting Serial-Escaper, Two Bears Live and us for this game testing session.

Even though the debriefing was quite late for us Europeans, it was fun and it was nice to play with you.
