Italian Mafia Escape Room in Málaga – Bonanno Betrayal

Context This escape room transports you to New York in 1971, meticulously recreating the atmosphere of the Italian mafia within a central venue in Málaga, just steps from the Plaza de la Merced. The setting features authentic 1970s soundscapes, period furniture, and detailed props that deepen the sense of time and place. You are drawn into a gripping narrative of betrayal and loyalty, where your mission is to infiltrate the Bonanno clan’s secret base and recover evidence that could save your family. The full experience lasts exactly 60 minutes, during which you must act fast and think clearly under pressure.

The Experience The game begins with a concise briefing that introduces the plot and core rules. You then enter a fully enclosed, intricately decorated space designed to heighten immersion. As you progress, you’ll solve physical and mental puzzles, search for hidden clues, and follow narrative cues—all while the clock counts down. The atmosphere is amplified by ambient sounds: a ticking clock, distant voices, and period music from the 1970s, creating a constant sense of urgency. Success depends on teamwork, clear communication, and quick thinking, all under the pressure of a shrinking time limit.

For Whom Ideal for groups of friends, families with teens aged 13 and up (or 12 with adult supervision), and corporate teams seeking a collaborative mental challenge. Not suitable for individuals with limited mobility, epilepsy, or claustrophobia due to the enclosed environment and sensory elements.
