Mystery Synopsis:
Hal Sapone, a notorious crime boss from Chicago, has directed his mobsters to meet without delay to find out who whacked the mole in his faction, Jimmy The Legs. Jimmy was squealing to the feds about the inner-workings of Hal’s underground organization, but it’s a sign of disrespect and rebellion to clip someone without an order from the top. Hal wants the disloyal thug found at once.

Fun with Mobster Murder
We had such a great time with this mobster murder mystery. Eight of us participated over zoom and got costumed and charactered up. We loved trying out our italian gangster accents, had fun with banter, and loved the clues which ranged from moderately easy to moderately challenging. It was a fun night for all!
