Calling all Milwaukee operatives: As you know, the Safe House – located at 779 N. Front St. – was shuttered this February for the execution of a highly classified mission.
The infamous spy headquarters is scheduled to reopen on Friday, March 11 at 11 a.m.
Initial reports show that many items at the Safe House have been moved, cleaned, improved or replaced including flooring, artifacts and sensitive digital equipment.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to infiltrate the newly revamped Safe House, thoroughly investigate its new digs, and return with a full report.
As always, should you be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow all knowledge of your actions.
Further instructions can be found in this video:
Beginning Friday, March 11, The Safe House will be open Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to midnight, and Friday and Saturday from 5 p.m. to midnight.
