Harry Houdini was the world’s foremost illusionist and escape artist. On his deathbed, he made a pact with his devoted wife, Bess, that he would attempt to communicate with her from the hereafter. To confirm his presence, Harry was to reveal the phrase “Rosabel, Believe”, a reference to his and Bess’ favorite musical tune.
Every year since, on the anniversary of her husband’s death, October 31st, 1926, Bess has performed a seance at the Knickerbocker Hotel desperately hoping to contact her husband one last time.
The year is 1936, and after her tenth attempt, Bess has just publicly conceded defeat:
“My last hope is gone. I do not believe that Houdini can come back to me or to anyone. The Houdini Shrine has burned for ten years. I now reverently turn out the lights. Good night, Harry.”
However, not everyone present at the final seance believed things were truly over. A cryptic note in Houdini’s manager’s will said “ I have spoken to Harry and discovered a path to contact the other side. The steps are laid out in front of you in plain site. Find my notes and you will be granted access to the underworld.”
Your mission is to unravel the clues and contact Houdini before midnight strikes and the hotel removes the shrine and closes the door forever. You are the last chance to reunite Harry and Bess before they are separated for eternity.

This isn't your average outing or everyday experience—Breakout is for those who would rather solve mysteries than watch someone else have all the fun. With different rooms that follow unique storylines, you and your friends will have 60 minutes to escape your adventure of choice by cracking codes, solving puzzles and following clues. Part problem solving, part adrenaline, end-to-end fun.
What are Escape Rooms?
Your team assembles inside a themed room—it could be a prison cell or a ritzy casino. A game master explains the challenge and exits the room. The door closes. The clock begins counting down from 60 minutes. Your team scatters to examine every inch of the space and find clues. Does this mystery scroll hold the key? What about this blinking purple light? And what do these footprints on the floor mean? The escape room adventure has begun! The clock is ticking! Are you and your friends smart enough to solve the mystery and escape?
Escape rooms are a fun, safe, hour-long adventure where you and your friends must discover clues and solve a mystery to escape a locked room. Inspired by popular escape-the-room video games, it's a beat-the-clock adventure that relies on the cunning of you and your teammates. Simply put, escape rooms are more fun than playing Candy Crush on your phone for the zillionth time, more exciting than going to the movies, and a lot more intellectually stimulating than playing laser tag or paintball. The first escape room opened in the United States in 2012 and now there are over 1,750 locations. What explains the surge in popularity in such a short time span? According to Scott Nicholson, a professor of game design and development at Wilfrid Laurier University, players eager to look at something other than a glowing screen are flocking to games in the physical world for face-to-face engagement opportunities. (source)
Additionally, escape rooms are an inclusive game that can be played by just about anyone. These locked-room adventures are perfect for all ages and physical abilities and your team can be made up of family, friends, or coworkers. When booking an escape room experience keep in mind you'll generally need a minimum of two people or a maximum of 7-8 in order to play.

5 Most Haunted Places in Chicago Explained by a Ghost Expert and a Historian
Chicago often ranks among the most haunted cities in the United States, but not everyone is a fan of ghost stories. When I asked Northwestern University professor and historian Bill Savage to weigh in, he said, “Chicago is haunted not by ghosts, but by the city’s neglect of the working class.” Whether you believe in the supernatural or not (I’m with Bill), most of Chicago’s enduring ghost stories contain at least a kernel of historical truth. With that in mind, here are the ten “most haunted” sites in the city.
Read the Full Story here:
The 1903 Iroquois Theater Fire - Chicago (HQ)
The Iroquois Theatre (Theater) Fire occurred on December 30, 1903, in Chicago, Illinois. It is the deadliest theater fire and the deadliest single-building fire in United States history. A total of 602 people died as a result of the fire.
The theatre had three audience levels. The main floor (known as the orchestra or parquet) was on the same level as the Foyer or Grand Stair Hall. The second level (the dress circle) and the third level (the gallery) were accessed through broad stairways that led off the foyer. The backstage areas were unusually large, with dressing rooms on five levels, an uncommonly large fly gallery (where scenery was hung), and even an elevator available to transport actors down to the stage level.
The Iroquois was Chicago's newest and most polished theater, built by architect Benjamin Marshall, who had studied many fires over the years and had tried to make this particular building as safe as possible. The Iroquois was designed in the image of a famous Paris opera house, and the four-story structure contained elaborates stained glass windows and polished wood. The lobby of the Iroquois had a sixty-foot high ceiling and marble walls, and Marshall had put in as many as twenty-five exits that supposedly would allow a capacity crowd to escape any problems in less than five minutes. A curtain made of asbestos was supposed to be present, one that could be lowered from above the stage to protect the audience in case of a fire that started there.
But common sense did not prevail when it came to the seats in the Iroquois Theater, as they were made of wood and stuffed with straw, making them extremely flammable. The fire equipment that was supposed to be installed never did make it into the Iroquois, which had no fire alarms at all. In the haste to get the theater open, many safety precautions were simply overlooked, and the combination would prove disastrous. December 30th was a very cold day in the Windy City, and the Iroquois was packed for a showing of the popular comedy Mr. Bluebeard. Since it was the Christmas break, there were over 2,000 people in attendance, many of them children, with another 400 actors and stagehands behind the scenes. One of those actors was the famous vaudeville performer Eddie Foy.
At around twenty after three during the afternoon one of the many suspended curtains that were used for scenery, painted with volatile oil paints, caught fire from one of the hot stage lights and the flames began to spread upwards. The audience thought that this was somehow part of the show for a while, and Foy came flying out of his make-up room and urged the crowd to be calm, reminding them time and again that the Iroquois was fireproof. The orchestra even began playing, and the crowd seemed to feel there was no threat, until a set that was ablaze came thundering down onto the stage. At this point Foy called for the asbestos curtain to be lowered to protect the audience until the fire could be controlled, but the devise failed to work properly, leaving a gap of some twenty feet between the bottom of the curtain and the stage for the fire to come through.
The actors and stagehands then panicked and headed for the rear exits as the audience finally figured out, too late, that the fire was unstoppable. As the flames spread, those backstage opened the rear doors to escape, and the air that rushed in turned the fire into an inferno. The delirious mass of people headed for any door that they could find, trampling one another and shoving and pushing in frightened hysteria. But the exit doors opened inward, and the crush of bodies against the people trying to open them did not allow them to do so. Also, many of the side doors were locked. The Iroquois was plunged into darkness as the lights went out, and the fire, fueled by the air coming in from the rear doors, exploded throughout the main auditorium.
When the fire company arrived, everything appeared normal, as there was no smoke coming out of the Iroquois Theater at first. But when they went into the building, they could not open the doors because of the bodies that were stacked against them. The death toll in the upper balconies was tremendous, as the fire escape supposedly leading down to the street a hundred feet below was found to be non-existent, leaving some to jump or fall to their death from the great height. As many as 150 people met their fate in this manner.

It displays an impressive array of animals), Grant Park (called the front lawn of Chicago, the park is wonderfully landscaped and offers many sites for an urban escape), Navy Pier (situated right on Lake Michigan, the Pier has a festive atmosphere with entertainment, shops and restaurants) and many more.
If you want to save time and money, the most important Chicago travel tip is to compare prices before booking a hotel room or a flight.

Chicago Speakeasy Bar | The Drifter | Burlesque Sideshows & Tarot Cards
On this episode of On Foodable Side Dish we meet Liz Pearce, the managing partner at The Drifter, an authentic speakeasy from Chicago’s Prohibition era. The bar is hidden behind a door that poses as a decorated, wooden shelf on a wall inside a restaurant called The Green Door Tavern. Even the restaurant’s name alludes to the fact that there was a functioning bar inside of the establishment during the 1920s and 1930s. Back then, painting a restaurant's door green indicated the presence of an illicit liquor store or nightclub.

It was great to see several friends coming in from Michigan and Wisconsin, as well as my Chicago peeps - and meeting new ones. It was definitely an amazing night, and I can't wait to do it all over again and see you all soon! Thanks again for a great night Chicago!
