The Moonshine Affair
In the not-so-distant future, humanity unlocks the secret of time travel. A satellite vessel known as The Orbit Room navigates a structure of wormholes to take paying clients - known as chronotourists - on adventures into the past. They’ve planned a centennial excursion from March 2022 to March 1922 that promises to be their most spectacular tour yet. When it lands in Prohibition-era Bloomington, The Orbit Room will be disguised as a speakeasy, complete with bootlegged liquor, red-hot jazz, and a few dames and gents from the roaring twenties. It sounds like the bees’ knees…as long as nothing goes wrong.
Drima Movie Nights: The Roaring Twenties
Looking for a fun evening out? Wanting to expand your cinematic horizons? Can’t wait for The Moonshine Affair? Then, join us for a classic film screening in the magical Mary E. Paul Room at HighGrove, where you can experience a taste of the roaring twenties before you visit them yourself at our event next month!
While The Moonshine Affair is 21+ only, our screening of The Roaring Twenties is a family-friendly event. Please bring proof of vaccination and your own mask.
Strange Things Afoot
The nostalgia is very much alive in this Stranger-Things-themed escape room and weekend-long immersive experience throughout downtown Bloomington. Our “visiting scientists” were brought in to solve the interdimensional puzzle and rescue the town from impending doom at Graduate Hotel Bloomington and invited to supplemental interactive experiences at The Cade, Bedräk Cafe, and WonderLab Museum. Check it out!
Bask in the Glow of The Moonshine Affair
Peek back in time with this video of our debut public event, The Moonshine Affair. Our guests enjoyed a Roaring Twenties-themed private party with live entertainment, escape-room puzzles, and an immersive storyline that put them right in the heart of the action.
