Join the analog resistance for a massive full day of face-to-face play. Put your phone down, pull up a chair, and swap algorithms for cardboard. We gather for 12 straight hours of uninterrupted tabletop gaming and genuine community connection.

You never need to memorize a rulebook before you arrive. JR. will be on hand all day, breaking down the mechanics so you jump right into the fun. We actively connect newcomers with open games to guarantee you always find a welcoming table.

Secure your ticket, anchor yourself to real connection, and reclaim your shared spaces.

To ensure a premium experience for all attendees, this event is capped at 30 tickets.

Step into a night of mystery, deception, and immersive play with Blood on the Clocktower, a thrilling social deduction game set in a haunted village plagued by a hidden evil.

Guests are encouraged to arrive in period-inspired attire and fully embrace a character of their own creation, adding to the theatrical atmosphere of the evening. Perhaps you’re a debutante, brooding aristocrat, virtuous governess, cunning criminal, mysterious foreigner, spiritualist, or something entirely your own…the choice is yours.

Upon arrival, you’ll be randomly assigned an alignment. Some players are townsfolk working together to uncover the truth, while others are secretly aligned with darker forces. Guided by a storyteller, the game unfolds through alternating day and night phases. By day, players debate, investigate, and vote to execute a suspected player. By night, special abilities come into play behind the scenes, revealing clues or shifting the course of the game. Even if your character dies, you remain an active participant, able to speak, strategize, and influence the outcome until the end.

This is a long form, fully immersive experience. Your ticket includes a curated charcuterie spread to enjoy as alliances form, suspicions rise, and secrets unravel. Joui’s bar will also be open with a full selection of wine, cocktails, beer, and non-alcoholic options available for purchase.

Whether you’re a master manipulator or a devoted truth seeker, expect an evening of intrigue, creativity, and unforgettable twists.
