🪦 Our next Trivia Night is rising from the grave on October 23rd, and I have decided to show a rare shred of mercy. 🙌

Normally, trying to extract a category hint from me is a fate worse than death. But the ghosts in the basement have spoken, and I am forced to leave you with one single, chilling truth:

🎃 The entire night is HALLOWEEN themed. 🎃

The questions will dig up anything that lurks in the dark. If it gives you nightmares or makes your skin crawl, it's fair game.

‼ Every team that drags their bones through the doors fully shrouded in Halloween costumes get +10 bonus points instantly. ‼

-⏰ The haunting begins at 6PM sharp.
-👥 Maximum of 6 players per team.
-💰 Entry is $3 per person. (all money collected goes back to the 1st place team as a cash prize.

⚰ Your fate awaits. Plot your disguises, summon your smartest ghouls, and prepare to face the dark.

💲 $3 Entry Fee: Cheaper than a fancy coffee!
