In a Nutshell

Museum sheds its normal duties to treat visitors to a Prohibition-themed night of whiskey-sipping speakeasies and interactive exhibits

The Fine Print

The Roaring Twenties were a time of great, doomed experiments, from Prohibition to the election of lions into Congress. Witness social engineering's consequences with this GrouponLive deal to the Crime Museum. For $15, you get one admission to “Roaring 20's: Prohibition Night” on Friday, December 14 (a $44 value). Choose from the following times:

  • 7 p.m.
  • 7:30 p.m.
  • 8 p.m.
  • 8:30 p.m.
  • 9 p.m.
  • 9:30 p.m.

On December 14, the Crime Museum opens its doors for an after-hours extravaganza commemorating the 80th anniversary of the end of Prohibition. Inviting guests to dress up in their slickest Roaring Twenties finery, the museum leads visitors through an interactive series of exhibits that focus on Prohibition and the history of crime in general. Like apprehended bootleggers and serial jaywalkers, visitors can ink themselves with temporary prison tattoos and decide on a last meal, before springing themselves from the joint to analyze blood splatter like modern forensics experts. Of-age guests can jitterbug over to a Canadian Club tasting table, sipping on whiskey brewed north of the border, just as drinkers once did in 1920s speakeasies.

Prohibition After Hours

Adventurers explore the Roaring Twenties at a time when the museum's doors regularly would be shut tight. Museum-goers wander through an interactive series of exhibits that focus on Prohibition and the history of crime in general, and like apprehended bootleggers and serial jaywalkers, visitors can ink themselves with temporary prison tattoos and decide on a last meal, before springing themselves from the joint to analyze blood splatter like modern forensics experts. Interactive demonstrations in forensic science help museum-goers learn the stories that blood spatters tell before an exploration of prison tattoos shed light on the social orders in the pen.

The Groupon Guide to: Impromptu Holiday Games

With holiday season in full swing, there's no shortage of dinner parties to attend. If your host doesn't own any board games, save the evening by suggesting a game that can be played without gaming equipment:

Bang, Bang, Hear, Hear: Have one person grab a fork, spoon, and knife. After everyone else closes their eyes, the person holding the utensils will start banging one of the three against the dinner table. The first person to correctly guess what the banger is banging wins and gets to leave the game.

Noise Town: Break off into groups of two. Each pair builds a unique city by creating a soundscape using the sounds that come out of their mouths. The team that builds the loudest town gets the grand prize—getting to wait outside until the other teams stop.

My Country, Your Country: One person starts the game by approaching another person and saying "My country." The person has to respond, as quickly as possible, "Your country?" The first person then must say "My country" again, this time faster than the second person said "Your country?" This keeps going until everyone feels compelled to simultaneously shout "The holidays: are these not the finest times of our years?" Then everyone gets to leave.

Should December be called Game-cember?
