Board Game Speed Dating with Quirk Events

Board Game Speed Dating with Quirk Events

Searching for a partner can be horrifically painful. But board games are always awesome. So what if you combined board games and finding a partner?

Picture this: You sit down for a night of games. A gaming concierge walks you through several games over the course of the night. You play classics you love and discover brand new games you've never heard of, playing each with a different group of fun singles. All while in a great establishment with plenty of delicious options on tap. At the end of the night, you give your gaming concierge a list of the folks you met that you'd like to date and a list of those you met that you'd like to just hang out with as friends. If any two people put down the same name as each other in either column, then your gaming concierge will make sure you get each other's e-mail address and you can coordinate a time to hang out.

Best case scenario: You find true love, discover some awesome board games, and make some new friends.

Bad case scenario: You accomplish only one of those three things, which is still pretty great.

Worst case scenario: There will be alcohol.

Pub Trivia Mystery Murder Challenge: The Case of the Poisoned Patron

Note - Because this event has sold out on March 27th and April 3rd, we're running it a third time. (It will feature the same questions, so we ask that you not sign up for multiple events.)

For months, the local pub was home to a run-of-the-mill trivia game. Until one night, it was home to a murder! A local player dropped dead in this otherwise friendly battle of wits, and the game hasn't run again since... until tonight.

Tonight, we're enlisting your help to solve this mystery the only way we know how: Through a game of pub trivia. Each round, your group will answer trivia questions, which will, in turn, unlock details of the murder, uncover backstories and ultimately answer the greatest question of them all: Whodunnit?

So form a team with your sleuthiest friends and see if you can solve The Case of The Poisoned Patron!

Purchase your tickets here!

Please note: This is not a theatrical production featuring actors or audience roles or some of the other staples of a murder mystery production, rather this is a trivia game with a murder mystery puzzle interwoven.

Skip the Small Talk

Skip the Small Talk

Do you wish you could have more of the kinds of conversations you have late at night where for some reason, you feel safe talking about the things you actually care about?

Bring your friends (or come by yourself) and spend your Thursday night at an event where you know everyone else is there for the same reason.

We'll be offering "big talk" conversational prompts on them to get you started, and we'll have lots of structure to make sure that you actually talk to people and that it's not awkward. Not feeling like answering a particular question? No worries, we'll have plenty to choose from, like, "When are you the happiest?" and, "If you were going to become close friends with me, what would I need to know about you?" We'll give you ground rules to make sure you feel comfortable and safe sharing as much of yourself as possible while still feeling in complete control of how much you divulge.

Secure your spot here.

Journey to Space Virtual Astronaut Talk

Join us in the taproom to listen to a virtual LIVE talk by a real astronaut!

Christopher Huie, known as "Chuie," is an astronaut and aerospace engineer, currently serving as Sr. Manager of Delta Program Support at Virgin Galactic. His contributions to the nascent commercial human spaceflight industry include six years of leadership in the Flight Sciences External Loads Engineering discipline, supporting both the design and operation of the air-launched Spaceflight System. As a Mission Specialist on Unity 25, he played a key role in Virgin Galactic's final test flight, paving the way for the first commercial mission, Galactic 01. Christopher is among the first 650 humans to venture into space and the 19th Black astronaut globally.

Before joining Virgin Galactic, Christopher spent over five years at Bell Flight, contributing to various rotorcraft programs as both an External Loads and a Simulation Engineer. He holds a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD), where he was a scholar in the QUEST Honors Program and the Igor Sikorsky Scholarship Program. In 2022, he was inducted into the inaugural class of UMD’s Clark School of Engineering’s Early Career Distinguished Alumni Society, which recognizes alumni under 40 years old for their leadership, innovation, service, and entrepreneurship.

Christopher's dedication to mentoring and inspiring students in Science, Engineering, and Aerospace is evident through his involvement in Virgin Galactic's outreach initiative, Galactic Unite, and his Co-Founder role in the Black Leaders in Aerospace Scholarship & Training (BLAST) Program. A Virgin Unite 2021 “Together We Can: Change” winner, he is actively involved in outreach efforts to improve preparedness and increase opportunities for underrepresented groups in aerospace. In his free time, he enjoys being a dad, learning, plant-based cooking, and pursuing interests in music, rock climbing, Seinfeld, Star Trek, and innovative space business ideas.
