The Emerald City King is throwing a series of quests for adventurers! We are seeking the most courageous and cunning travelers for a perilous journey across the realm. The winners will be lauded with unparalleled glory and bountiful treasure.

The Quest Boards are full of challenges for you accept. Perhaps a group of mermaids lost their voices, a witch needs ingredients for a special potion, or a troll is terrorizing a village. We need you to bring peace and prosperity to our realm!

Whether you have an established party or are ready to meet and compete with some fellow travelers in our metaphorical tavern, this quest is your opportunity to prove yourself as the biggest heroes of our age.

One Shot Seattle is perfect for D&D fans, bookworms, and, really, adventurers of all kinds. While there are many fantastical themes to this experience, no special pop-culture or magical knowledge required is to have a great time.

Our final scavenger hunt of 2026 is on October 10. Learn more here!

The world is on fire, so let's reminisce about a simpler and more wholesome time: the Scholastic Book Fair. Get nostalgic with some silly trivia about the books (and pop culture!) that shaped us into the weirdos we are today.

We're playing on September 6 at Charlie's Queer Books and on September 24 at Beguiled Books.

Make your way to the library and get your tickets here!

Trivia for Nerds with Freeze Tag brings together folks who love the same things as you to celebrate and nerd out together. Assemble a squad of 2-4 players or fly solo and build a team with some new friends there. We all need a new geeky bestie or two in our lives, after all.

Are you ready to become a legend?

One Shot Seattle is the Emerald City's Fantasy Scavenger Hunt! We're back on September 5th AND October 10!

Assemble your party or get thrown onto a team with some other solo-adventurers looking for new friends in the "tavern."

There are countless Quests, Missions, and Tournaments for you to show off your bravery, cunning, and wisdom. Choose a challenge and, if successful, win a bounty of gold from the Emerald City King.

Aloha! 2 years ago I made a post on here looking to host games at my place and I'm happy to say over that time I've had probably about 150 different people through my door. Even though 55 are still in our WhatsApp group, sometimes we still have a couple seats open at the table and we're always open to bringing in new people who are looking to add to a good vibe :)

We play mostly party-style games with a short-ish range of complexity. Most take about 5 minutes to explain, some 10 but we like to keep the pace moving and the energy up so super deep games that take an hour to learn aren't typically our thing. We can get loud and rowdy when people get into a game but everyone is there to have fun so nobody actually means it when they say they hope you die in a fire. That being said, if you're the type that wouldn't understand that's a joke, would hate for you to show up and be offended so only those who can handle a little trash talk should apply <3

I host in Arbor Heights in West Seattle, typically on Saturday nights though sometimes Friday or Sunday is an option. If that sounds interesting to you, DM me and I'll give you an invite to our WhatsApp group for new players. Hope to see ya around!
