Chicago Puzzling • February 2026
Tales from the Crypto + Mystery Trivia #1 + Puzzled Pint
Tales from the Crypto [Feb 19]
Come play my latest tabletop puzzle game, Tales from the Crypto on Thursday, February 19 @ Demo Brewery in Ravenswood.
You and your team are the newest investors in BiteCoin, a cryptocurrency by Vampire Capital, a company that employs only vampires. Unfortunately, as part of the standard pre-launch security protocol, they recently discovered something alarming: One of their vampires is actually a human!


Over two hours, you'll solve dozens of puzzles in order to conduct an independent audit and identify the impostor.
A ticket — for a f0ur-player team — is $176. This includes a drink ticket for every player. There are only 6 tables available for this one. Hope to see you there!
Mystery Trivia #1 (reprise) [Mar 3]
Our first Mystery Trivia night went so well, we're doing it again in March. Join us for Mystery Trivia Night #1 on Tuesday, March 3rd at The Western Bar & Kitchen, at 4301 N. Western Ave, Chicago.
This is the same set of rounds I ran on February 3rd, so please come only if you missed that one.
I'll have six rounds over two hours, including a new round built off my daily word game, Raddle. A ticket — for a four-player team — is $60.
