The Outfitters

The Outfitters is a proper Prohibition caper with the sort of scale that makes the whole game feel larger than life. Set in 1926 Chicago, it drops you into a mob-soaked city where your task is to gather evidence and help bring the Outfit down. The theme is familiar, but Tulleys gives it room to breathe, and that sense of space is the first thing that sets it apart.

This is a puzzle-heavy room with plenty to get your hands on. Expect searching, codes, classic escape-room logic and a steady stream of tasks, with enough variety to keep keen teams occupied. It is not a flashy tech showcase, but the build has polish, and the flow rewards clear communication. As one neat verdict puts it, "Packed with puzzles and proper meat on the bones for keen teams."

The set is the real draw. It keeps opening out as you progress, so the room feels busy and immersive rather than cramped or repetitive. "Massive set, loads to explore, and the theme lands beautifully" is a fair summary, and it captures why this room still earns attention even if the premise itself is not especially new.

As a team game, this one favours good coordination. Smaller groups can absolutely take it on, and two experienced players will find a stern but fair workout, but inexperienced teams may feel pressed by the volume of content. The flow also sounds fairly linear, so it suits players who are happy to follow a directed path more than those who prefer open, parallel solving.

The atmosphere is tense and pulpy rather than properly frightening, so this is not the room to choose for scares. What it offers instead is a substantial, well-staged challenge with a strong sense of movement through the space. If you want a busy, confident Prohibition game with real substance, The Outfitters deserves serious consideration.
