A Gangster Murder at the 1920s Speakeasy is the perfect Roaring 20s mystery party for anyone looking to host a jazz-age murder mystery game with a little extra grit and grime. This prequel to our best-selling mystery A Flapper Murder at the 1920s Speakeasy sets the stage for the glitz, glamour, and backstabbing that followed. If you have solved Flapper, you’ll find that the victim, Fanny Birchwood, appears as a suspect in ‘Gangster’! Having said that, you can solve ‘Gangster’ and ‘Flapper’ in any order. Whether you’ve played ‘Flapper’ or are just diving into the world of moonshine and mobsters, this mystery game kit brings the smoky underworld of the Roaring Twenties to life—one secret at a time.
Step back into 1922… Prohibition is the law of the land, and finding a stiff drink means knowing the right password and the right people.
The Caterpillar Club is the first speakeasy of its kind in the city, buzzing with jazz, whispers, and just enough danger to keep things interesting.
But tonight, the usual flow of bootlegged booze and big band jazz hits a sour note. Crime boss Bulletproof Bill Mahoney, the most feared mobster in town, has just been found murdered behind the club. Now the gin-soaked night of debauchery takes a sharp turn, and everyone inside the club becomes a suspect.
With the coppers itching to shut the place down, the regulars of The Caterpillar Club must keep the murder hush-hush (and figure out whodunnit) before the secrets of the speakeasy spill out and ruin them all.
This mystery game is a 3/5 on the Angel Rating Scale. A Gangster Murder at the 1920s Speakeasy revolves around a murder (obviously) and has mentions of an affair between the victim and a character, and mentions of drinking and smoking. Otherwise, it is free of references to drugs. It’s suitable for suitable for adults.
A Gangster Murder at the 1920s Speakeasy is a pre-quel to our bestselling mystery, A Flapper Murder at the 1920s Speakeasy, and the two mysteries can be solved independently.

Great time! This was our second murder mystery party and it generates huge fanfare each time. The mysteries are set up to be challenging but not overly challenging and its great that everyone can participate without knowing who the killer is beforehand! This company is great to work with and is always accommodating to questions.
The best party – EVER! Shot in the Dark Mysteries made the planning so easy that we could focus on making our basement look like an 80s prom. Our theme was “Chiller Thriller” and we had a blast decorating. Every person that came said they had so much fun and wanted to host their own parties. The idea that no knows who the killer is works so well. Thanks Shot in the Dark Mysteries for providing an easy, fabulous way to have fun with friends!
I love Shot in the Dark mysteries! They made so many of our parties (birthdays, new years, just because!) extra special by getting our friends engaged in solving the crimes! They’re such a great value, and even our friends that aren’t extroverts can get into being a character and sleuthing. I also love that I am able to host and participate in the murder mystery! So much fun!!
