The neon hum of Printer’s Alley presses close as the group gathers under the Neon Climax Saloon sign—whispers and laughter mixing with the clink of glass. Guides hand out evidence kits while performers slip into period clothes; the alley itself seems to lean in, waiting for the first accusation. The experience moves through narrow service streets and into three or four historic bars and hidden speakeasies, each space offering a fresh clue, a new suspect, and a handcrafted cocktail.
