Great Whisky Heist of the Distillery District - A Scavenger Hunt Mystery

while tippling gin fizzes and whisky sours. Fast cars and moving pictures were the very definition of the new modern age. But in one corner of Toronto, men still worked long hard days at dusty backbreaking work, and the perils of prohibition remained: rampant corruption, mobsters, guns and the illegal booze trade over the border, and the motive behind it all: moolah. Everyone had their eye on getting out of the grind and making it big.

On the scene was a 24-year-old reporter for the Toronto Daily Star named Ernest Hemingway. With a flask in his pocket and notebook in hand, he divides his evenings between the illegal boxing matches and the taverns of Corktown, so named for the tough Irish immigrants who lived and worked there.

Working in teams of 2-6 people, you the sleuths will unravel a tale of dreams, thievery and deceit. Who stole the whisky? Who got the money? And how did it all go down?

This is a scavenger hunt mystery: teams are provided a clue book, map and pencils and then must search the Distillery District for answers in the art and architecture, and curated corners of this living museum.
