Welcome! Wand’rer, to Mixology: Game Night! Join special guest Luis Carazo and our neighbors at Labyrinth Games and Puzzles for a truly unique playthrough of our 5E adventure, “Folger Foe-lios: A Night at the Library.” Whether you’re new to tabletop role play games or a long-time pro, we invite you to join us in a fantastical realization of the Folger Shakespeare Library to meet characters both familiar and strange! You’ll encounter the witches of Macbeth around their cauldron, a mopey Hamlet, larger than life fairies, and, of course, the infamous Puck…

About the Playthrough

Playthrough will begin at 6:45pm. Tables may have up to six people; come with a group or meet new friends at the event— each table will be a mix of beginner through advanced players! Please note this will be a shortened playthrough lasting approximately 2 hours. The full adventure is now available as a free download to play at home.

What if I’m not ready to commit to a full RPG playthrough?

No problem! Use your ticket to join us for Labyrinth’s 20-minute introductory encounter “A Taste of Dungeons and Dragons.” We’ll also have games available in the Founders’ Room for ticket holders to relax and enjoy a casual board game night.
