Join us on Wednesday, November 5th for a Trivia Pub Crawl, where you'll go bar-hopping throughout Arsenal Yards, playing a different round of trivia at each delicious restaurant we visit, all wrapping up at Mighty Squirrel Brewing.

Introducing... Axe Throwing Speed Dating?!

Does adding axe throwing to dating sound like a bad idea? Maybe, but it also could be awesome! We're teaming up with the folks at The Rugged Axe in Manchester, NH to bring you Axe Throwing Speed Dating. One of their experts will train you on the fine art of hurling a blade and you'll get to do several rounds, each time with different singles. Meet anyone you like? Scan a QR code and submit their name. If they put your name, it's a match, and we'll send you an email so you can set up a time to go out! Oh, and if you match with someone, you'll get a free pass, enabling you to go to their rage room on your first date, if you so choose. How have you not bought a ticket already?

Apparently People Like Getting to Be Duplicitous Liars, So We Are Running More Traitors Events!

Come join us for a night of challenges, murders, deceit, betrayal and more! Inspired by the hit series, attendees will have a chance to compete as though they are players on the show. Several participants will secretly be given the role of Traitor and must work to murder as many Faithfuls as they can, all without getting caught. Meanwhile, there will also be missions, round tables and plenty of other hat tips to a great show.

No knowledge of the show required. Grab a ticket below...

If you've already played this game before, we ask you not to buy tickets to another in 2025, as you'll have an unfair advantage over the other competitors. However, we will be allowing people to buy repeat tickets in the new year, when we'll make some fresh tweaks in honor of the new season.

Wanna host a private Traitors game for you and a group of friends? Email us at [email protected] and we'll set one up.

Feud Night

We've polled 100 people and asked them some pretty life-altering questions, like "When it’s cold out, which part of your body gets uncomfortable the fastest?" And now it's up to you to guess what they said. New event launching at Coppersmith Tavern in Maine on Sundays, and we still have our regular spots in Portland, Stratford, and Middlefield. Check them out below! Did we mention it's free?

• Every Tuesday | 6-8:00pm | Portland ME | Smoked Portland | Free Tickets! (Smoked will be skipping its regularly scheduled game on November 4, but then we are back the following week)
• Every Tuesday in November | 6-8:00pm | Middlefield CT | Lyman Orchards | Free Tickets!
• 2nd Fri Every Month | 7-9:00pm | Stratford CT | Two Roads Brewing | Free Tickets! (Two Roads will be running its November game on Friday, 11/7 and skipping December, but we are back in January)
• 1st and 3rd Sunday Every Month | 6-8:00pm | Portland ME |Coppersmith Tavern and Table| Free Tickets!

Feud Night is one of our staples here at Quirk Events. But to pull off our games, we need your opinions in our latest survey! Thank you for your critical input.

(This is a brand-new survey, so if you filled it out last month, we would so appreciate a look from an experienced feud-survey-taker like you with this one!)

B Movies – Real or Fake?

Happy Halloween folks, let's close things out with some horror movie trivia. We’ll give you the plot synopsis of a B horror movie, and you tell us whether it's real, or something that we made up.

1. Killer Klowns From Outer Space (1988) - Memorable moments include klowns in larval form hiding inside a popcorn bag and a giant marionette called Jojo the Klownzilla. 
2. Unfriended (2014) - Six friends learn a lesson about bullying when a student comes back to haunt them during a Skype call.
3. Tusk (2014) - A retired sailor named Howard captures a podcaster and attempts to surgically turn him into a replica of “Mr Tusk,” a walrus who rescued Howard at sea. 
4. Plant-based (2020) - In an effort to create new meat-free ingredients, Dr. Sara Geniese instead accidentally develops protein strings that grow inside humans like viruses, turning those who eat them inside-out. For whatever reason, the word “virus” is never actually used in the 144-minute film, as if no one has ever heard of them.  
5. ThanksKilling (2007) - A rampaging spirit named Turki returns every five-hundred-and-five years to wreak havoc - but this year, it’s early. 
6. The Tingler (1959) - Dr Warren Chaplin is convinced that every human is inhabited by a creature (“The Tingler”) that causes fear but is suppressed by our ability to scream. To test his theory, he enlists a deaf volunteer named Martha who is also, for no explicable reason, also unable to scream.
7. Not That Way (2006) - Six party-hard college students volunteer for a psychology experiment, only to find they are locked in a sadistic maze designed by an insane former professor - who wants them to learn at all costs. 
8. Lip Sync (1999) - When popular Jill steals unpopular Kristen’s song and uses it to win the school talent show, Kristen visits a local magic shop, where she buys a potion that will allow her to literally put words in Jill’s mouth. But using the potion comes at a horrible - and disgusting – price.  
9. Birdemic: Shock and Terror (2010) - A nod to Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds, but with an environmental message. The 2013 sequel is Birdemic 2: The Resurrection. 
10. Death Bed: The Bed That Eats (1977) - Only one man has ever been spared by it, his spirit condemned to live forever behind a painting, from where he must forever witness the bed eating its victims.
