Arrive at the Moonshine Saloon doors in East London, ready to be immersed in a world of cowboys, sheriffs and smuggled cocktails topped off by the brilliant acting of your fellow bar-goers.
Your first mission is to smuggle your own liquor in order for your barkeeps to mix you up a variety of delicious cocktails - the bigger variety of liquor you and your friends bring, the bigger variety of cocktails!
Expect to be involved in the story line of your night with the characters there, as you are transported into the unseen world of the American Wild West. The only advice to you and your group is to ensure you look like the locals and not to attract any unwanted attention. Luckily, you will be provided with all the gear, which includes a Stetson hat and some Western attire.
If the Sheriff is in town, keep your head down, but a tip off might land you with the exciting opportunity to see Cassidy's empire crumble.
