The Story
Shenandoah Valley,
Halloween 1933.
The Velvet Canary is reopening under new ownership. Behind the bar sits a safe nobody alive can open.
The documents inside belong to the new owner. The combination belonged to Kitty Kat Carter, the songstress who ran the room with her business partner, Bugsy Stallone.
You have the night to find it. The house may have other plans.

Good to know
- Low lighting, sudden sounds, and Prohibition-era and supernatural themes
- Arrive sober and follow your host’s instructions
- Handle props and locks gently — they’re older than you think
- Accessibility needs? Reach out before you book and we’ll make a plan
A portion of proceeds supports Access Independence, a Northern Shenandoah Valley nonprofit helping people with disabilities live independently.
Knock twice.
Grab your crew, pick a session, and see what the Canary left behind.
