Tavern Crawl: A Dungeon and Dragons Inspired Fantasy Bar Crawl
A Themed Interactive Bar Crawl with Puzzles, Powers, and Poor Decisions hosted by Incantrix Productions. Tickets available here.
Grab a drink. Choose a class. Save the day.
This is no boring pub crawl, this is a fully interactive, narrative-driven Dungeons & Dragons–inspired tavern crawl where you are the heroes on your own personal adventure.
You and your group will embark on a 2-hour quest across four themed locations, each run by live actors portraying important Guild members with problems they are looking to solve with your help. There are no wrong answers—only consequences, alliances, and chaos.
These adventures are designed by award-winning game and puzzle designers (and not AI) and a ton of real production experience with backgrounds from Disney, WB Games, and more! (No Willy Wonka disasters here!)
🧙 HOW IT WORKS
Groups start every 20 minutes. Each group receives:
Character cards
A one-time-use class power
At each new location, you will meet fascinating NPCs who will present you with interesting dilemmas.
You’ll solve puzzles, make choices, drink potions, argue philosophy, and possibly die.
Yes. Die.
(Calm down death is not the end… or is it?!)
You do not need to have a single previous experience with Dungeons or Dragons in order to fully enjoy this experience. You do not need a certificate in rules lawyering, there will be very few rules, and lots and lots of bawdy fun.

Sips & Sparks Speed Dating
Ditch the swiping and come meet real, local singles in person!
If you're tired of the same old routine, this is your chance to mix things up, meet new people, and have fun putting yourself out there! Our speed dating events make it easy and natural to spark connections—without the pressure of a full date.
Note on Age Range: While this event is primarily focused on singles in the age range specified in the title, this is only a suggestion—not a strict requirement. If you're slightly outside this range but feel you'd connect well with this group, you're welcome to join! Our goal is to create well-balanced events where everyone can meet compatible matches.
How the Evening Unfolds
Casual Mixer Kickoff: The night starts with a relaxed mingle where you can grab a drink (not included, but encouraged) and ease into the atmosphere before the dating rounds begin.
Guided Conversations: Not great at starting conversations? No worries! We provide an icebreaker question each round, and our high-energy host keeps things flowing smoothly.
Perfect-Length Connections: You'll have just enough time with each person to feel out their vibe before moving on to meet someone new—all in a positive, supportive, lighthearted, pressure-free atmosphere.
Simple Matching System: After each round, simply mark "friend," "date," or "none" on our easy matching system. Mutual matches receive contact info the next day!
Important Details
Arrive 15–30 minutes early to settle in! We start promptly, and late arrivals may not be accommodated.
Remember: This event is all about active listening, learning, and exploring connections. While many attendees do meet someone special, the key to enjoying the experience is focusing on meeting new people without specific expectations.
Space is limited to ensure quality interactions and a balanced group. Reserve your spot now!
