GAME NIGHTS!
Grab some teammates and put your wits to the test! We'll be playing all sorts of games, from trivia to Wheel of Fortune and all sorts of brain teasers. You can play by yourself, with a partner, or make a team with friends and family.
Join us for one or as many as you'd like! There will be prizes for the top teams.
*Note - if you're making a team with friends and family outside of your household, you'll need a second device to video chat. The video chat with your team will be coordinated amongst yourselves.
