Ever played "Never Have I Ever"? How about "Musical Chairs"? What if you combined the two? Enter "I Have..."! One person in the middle says something that is true to themselves, such as "I like dragons", or "I play a musical instrument", or "I've been to Florida". Then, everyone for whom that is also true stands up and finds another seat. Great fun, and a great way to learn about people and find potential friends!

For a character assignment SIGN UP HERE: https://bit.ly/2Bk79Vc Some dropins will be available, but no main characters as dropins. COSTUMES ARE HEAVILY ENCOURAGED: Togas/greek style clothing (simplest) or go nuts with nature inspired outfits for the fae. Premise: Twice every year since time immemorial, the Fae courts hold a great and grand gala which celebrates the turn of the seasons and transition of power between the Summer and Winter courts. It is a time of gathering, celebration, socializing, trading of favors and of course mischief. This year promises to be especially exciting, however as mortals are permitted to the gala for the first time. However, not all is as it appears and by the end, there will be blood. The Grand Faery Ball is a 3 hour full immersion murder mystery game that the participants will play out. Costumes are encouraged, advance signup also encouraged. Arrive on time! Play: A murder mystery is somewhere between a bit of a LARP and a social game of 'who dun it?'. Each player will be given a package (this is why you should sign up) for their character with goals and tasks and game will be explained. First "Act" involves characters opening the first package, and accomplishing the tasks they need to. Act 1 ends when the murder occurs. For the 2nd half, the second package is opened, characters are given secrets, tasks, and advantage cards to influence or even kill other players. Its a free for all until the act ends where people will get to guess who did it and solve the mystery. Prizes will be given for Best Costume, Best Performance, Most Coins, and a prize drawn for 'Who Solved it' from all the correct answers given.
