In the heart of Savannah, Georgia, Encryption Escape delivers an immersive dive into retro noir with their standout interactive experience, Studio 31: Death at the Disco. This isn’t your typical outdoor adventure, but it offers a pulse-pounding blend of mystery and hands-on deduction in a setting that channels the gritty energy of a 1977 BYOB disco. Located on Montgomery Street, just steps from Savannah’s historic district, Studio 31 challenges visitors to don the role of crime scene investigators and sift through a labyrinth of clues after a body falls from the ceiling of this vibrant nightclub.
The experience unfolds in a richly detailed environment where attention to period-specific details transports players back in time—think vintage lighting, mirrored dance floors, and the unmistakable hum of disco tunes.

This fresh twist on puzzle-solving invites participants to piece together evidence, interrogate suspects, and think like detectives to secure a conviction before the night closes.
