Events on the Horizon!

So, I said last time we were working on not waiting so long between posts, and then I waited even longer between posts to say anything! My apologies! Summer was crazy and then the fall was a lot of playing catch-up. But we're getting there! I just wanted to let you know about some of the programs we have coming up next week - and then we're taking a programming break until January.

At a Glance: Catching Fire Cornucopia Challenge: Wednesday, November 20, 4:00-5:30 PM. Prizes for top team AND door prize! Register today!
Shelter in Place: Thursday, November 21, 6:00-7:45PM. Door prize! Register today!


To celebrate the release of Catching Fire next week, we're having a Cornucopia Challenge Event. You'll be competing with a teammate to earn weapons and supplies for a few days in the arena, and then seeing how you fare with what you were able to collect. We'll have survival scenarios, scavenger hunts, target practice, and more!

The two winners will each receive a prize pack that include a ten dollar gift card to Muvico!


And we know we're a little late to the zombie apocalypse since Halloween was last month - but I've learned that the zombie apocalypse makes its own time. And I'm not about to say no to a horde of zombies! Shelter in Place is a live-action role-playing game (shortened to a LARP). In it, players are given character sheets for being specific humans - like a doctor or a businessperson - and some are given over to the zombie horde. Play begins and the two sides have vastly different objectives - the humans want to escape to safety, the zombies want to eat some brains.

This is a game of tag and strategy. And a little bit of creepy. We play-tested this last week and even though we all knew each other and knew what was going on, the zombies still scared all of us. Other zombies included! If you've ever wondered what you would do in a horror movie, now's your chance to find out!

We will have a door prize for this event. Just for showing up and trying to stop the zombie apocalypse, you'll be entered to win a signed edition of Darren Shan's Zom-B! It's the first in a great, dark series about everyone's new favorite undead, signed and dated earlier this year!
