About this Event
Signal Horizon Entertainment's most ambitious experience yet. Enjoy 6 weeks of fully immersive spooky gameplay while sipping specially themed cocktails at any of our nine partner venues. Enjoy premium seating for the end of the world as you unlock the mysteries of The Harvest Society before it claims its next victims. Work with your team to win free drinks and to #SurvivetheHarvest. Welcome to The Harvest Society, A Cosmic Horror Experience specifically designed for Kansas City.
Become a member of the Harvest Society and participate in an age-old rite that helps to either strengthen the wards that protect this world from supernatural forces – or bring them crashing down for good. Every year, as the autumn equinox approaches and the nights grow long, the members of the Harvest Society assemble to conduct the Great Harvest. They gather in Kansas City this year, and the choice will be ours.
Will you join the Reapers, who seek to preserve the world as it is by cutting down the advances of the dark, or will you throw your lot in with the Sowers, who hope to usher in a new world of gods and monsters? Whichever side you choose, participants will receive their own copy of the Harvest Society Compendium, which will guide them through 9 local venues before they finally reach the Harvest Bonfyre, where their success or failure will help to determine the winners of the year's contest… and just possibly the future of the world.
A range of local favorites have joined the festivities, transforming their familiar locations into clandestine meeting places for members of the Harvest Society. While the Reapers and Sowers compete to solve mysteries and gather important clues, they can also enjoy specially designed craft cocktails created just for this event. Come experience special seating, uniquely formulated cocktails, and, of course, the cursed artifacts that must be deciphered at each location.
Play along at your own pace. You can visit one location a night or try to knock them all out in a weekend, whatever works for you. Harvest Society encourages everyone to enlist their friends, as the competition between the Reapers and the Sowers might just determine the world's fate starting in September on Friday the 13th, 2024 (and some free drinks).
The fun won't end at the tavern door. Each Compendium unlocks a whole host of ways to get free drinks, explore the city, and keep track of who's winning with the live leaderboard. For some, The Harvest Society might be a spooky way to enjoy the season. For others, it will be a competitive lifestyle.

The immersive story is told at every location, through the app, in the history of Kansas City, and on the 2nd season of the award winning Drinkaway Camp podcast, where the mystery of Drinkaway Camp interconnects with The Harvest Society in surprising ways.
