Tipsy Spelling Bee: Halloween Edition

This Halloween, the Tipsy Spelling Bee is getting a little darker, a little weirder, and a whole lot more tipsy.

Join us at Killjoy for a Halloween-themed, live game-show-style spelling competition where cocktails, costumes, questionable spelling decisions, and chaotic audience participation all come together.

Whether you're showing up in a full costume, throwing on some ears and calling it a day, or just here to watch somebody confidently misspell a word after two drinks, you're invited.

Compete in multiple rounds of spelling challenges featuring spooky, creepy, weird, wicked, and downright ridiculous words.

🍹Competitor tickets are $35 and include 1 drink from + 1 shooter from the Tipsy Spelling Bee Menu.

Costumes are encouraged, but not required. Come as your favorite horror icon, pop culture character, creature, witch, villain, slutty whatever, or just yourself.

🎵 Enjoy music, audience games, Halloween surprises, drinks, prizes, and plenty of opportunities to get involved.

🏆 The last speller standing takes home cash, prizes, and ultimate bragging rights.

Think you can spell your way through words like onomatopoeia, phantasmagoria, lycanthropy, or poltergeist after a drink?

There's only one way to find out.
