Flappers, actresses, and rich bachelors, it’s the roaring twenties and life is all jazz. You and your friends are listening to the radio when a news alert comes on about a murder. Dancer Winnie Jackson, fiancé of the wealthy bachelor Samuel Rothschild, has been found dead at the Rothschild Estate. Rumors are flying everywhere. Did Rothschild regret giving up his bachelor ways? Did a fellow dancer get jealous? It’s time to expose the murderer behind The Flapper's Fatality!
How It Works
The Flapper’s Fatality is an interrogation-based murder mystery. It can be played with 3 - 14 players + 1 host (for this game, we recommend that the host does not also attempt to play one of the roles). Have more than 14 players? Extra players can join as Investigators! The Investigators will be allowed to question any character of their choosing at the end of each round, and will also be able to vote for who they think committed the crime.

The Flapper’s Fatality is perfect for anyone looking for a roaring 20s-themed murder mystery!
🔴 Format: This murder mystery can either be played in-person or virtually.
🎭 Acting Requirement: In interrogation-based murder mysteries, players are required to ask open-ended questions to each other in order to uncover clues and inconsistencies in the character's stories. This style of murder mystery requires more acting ability than a script-based murder mystery (but it can also be more fun for the right audience!).
👪 Large Groups: Large groups can play this murder mystery by breaking up into groups. A group of 17, for example, could either have one or two self-hosted games going on simultaneously or you could hire us to be the Host and let everyone play in either a Player or Investigator role. The possibilities are endless!

Runaway Games provided an extremely entertaining escape room experience for everyone to participate in no matter where in the world they are! We did the Escape Spy Island experience and would highly recommend!
What a fun event hosted by some lively characters! The puzzles were challenging, but not too hard. And the support of the staff was excellent! They really pulled out the stops to make sure our group had a good time! Thanks for a great session!
I really enjoyed the versatility of the game. The two people who lead it were energetic, kind, and helpful. It was a wonderful team building exercise. I would love to try the Family Feud team building option next time. Thank you so much!
It was a very nice, relaxing way to spend quality time with the team. Working together to solve the clues and escape was time well spent. Definitely recommend this event. Thanks Warden Sandy for all the guidance on this quest. FREEDOM!!!!
Brought in Runaway Games to host our Halloween Happy Hour tonight! It was seriously so fun and the employees all had a blast. I really liked the way the puzzles were laid out and how they varied from each other. It kept it super entertaining and my team was super focused!
We recently had a team building activity with Escape Alcatraz, and I've heard feedback from my teammates describing it as "the best team building event we've ever done." This sentiment was broadly shared throughout my team.
I would HIGHLY recommend. I booked Escape Alcatraz for a virtual employee team-building event and it was a HUGE success. All of our employees gave it a 5/5. The wardens were great and so was the customer service.
Amazing experience. Definitely recommend for virtual team building event. Loved it!
Our team from Pepperl+Fuchs had a blast during this teambuilding event. Great game design that requires the whole team to get involved! Can only recommend and am hoping for a sequel!
Amazing game, fun, good team bonding event. So impeccably well organized! Kudos

This experience was super fun! It's a great way to build team connections, learn and laugh together doing something completely outside work! Thanks Escape Alcatraz!!!!
Such a fun team building experience! Would love to do it again :)
A fun and exciting game that challenges you with mini-games to tackle as a team. This game is for players that like to try various challenges and work as a team. Because the skills that were tested at each section are distinctively different, each member of your team will have something to contribute.
Cool team building games!
Escape Alcatraz was a great event for the team! Certainly exceeded my expectations and have had some great feedback from the team. Excellent way to break up the remote work during lockdown. Would recommend!
Fun and entertaining! Fun and entertaining!
