Take a bit of cranium, mix in some nerdy jeopardy style trivia, splash in a few classic party games like charades or interpretive dance, and add some of Calgary's best craft beer and you get Zoink! This live action, audience driven board game happens at Zero Issue Brewing. The Brewery will be divided into 3 teams and rather than having to fight over who gets to be the thimble or the iron, we have brought your game pieces to life and in 3-D as an Avatar. Roll the dice and complete all the tasks to topple your competition and win the grand prize to become living legends.

Enjoy your suds and success when we wrap up the evening with an all-star performance by your very own Avatars! It could be burlesque, drag, magic, comedy, acrobatics or another form of performance art but whatever it is, we promise you will be on the edge of your seats. Who wants another sports-pub when you can have an adventure like no other at Zero Issue Brewery!

This month's theme is myths, legends, fables and Kara's birthday.

So grab your friends and come out and have an evening of nerdy trivia and help us celebrate all things Kara Ka-Pow! Feel free to dress up in your favourite genre or character!
