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 Wednesday 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.

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.

Join Quirk Events in the taproom for a night where you'll be pitted against your fellow attendees in a competition of deceit, challenges, murders, and over-the-top Scottish accents,* in an event that (according to the Quirk Events lawyers) is in no way inspired by the copywritten material of the hit Peacock TV show.

At the beginning of the night, several attendees will secretly be given the role of Traitor, making them murderers who must work to eliminate as many Faithfuls as they can without being detected. While others will be the Faithfuls, working to detect the murderers and eliminate them from the game. Throughout the event, there will be challenges where players can both earn protection from murder and feed the (not very large) prize pot, clandestine killings, and round-table sessions where players will be accused and the suspected Traitors will be eliminated. At the end of the night, if the Faithfuls have successfully rooted out all the Traitors, then any of them still standing will split the prize pot and the glory. But if any Traitors are still in their midst, then it will be the dark side that takes home the honor and the spoils of victory.

No knowledge of the TV show that may or may not have inspired this competition is required.**

The Connecticut Paranormal Research Team (CTPRT) will be doing an interactive paranormal presentation in the taproom. The team will discuss investigations and show evidence of paranormal cases that they have participated in over the years; which includes actual audio, video and still photo’s. 

About the CTPRT:

Established in 2000 and based out of Northeastern, CT, CTPRT is a volunteer research group headed by Christine and Daniel Peer.  Christine having 40 years of experience in the field has given the goal of the organization to use a scientific approach to investigate and document paranormal phenomena to determine whether the residence and/or establishments are in fact haunted.  By using equipment to detect, communicate with, and capture evidence of paranormal activity, they also try to find natural causes for what may be perceived as paranormal activity before jumping to the conclusion that a place is haunted.

Besides investigations, the team has participated in many presentations and Expo’s across the northeast and appeared on many internet/radio stations, TV broadcast, and motion pictures; as well as producing their own broadcasted and pre-recorded internet cases.
