What's better than trivia twice a month? How about four or five times a month??

The House Rules trivia night presented and hosted by Betka-Pope Productions is expanding in November! Eirann and Jenn will host general knowledge trivia every Monday, with a super special themed trivia every 5th Monday of the month.

This event is free, and tables open at 6pm and trivia starts at 7pm. Bring your friends (no more than five of them, though), and compete against other teams for gift cards and other goodies. Come early, grab a bite to eat, get your thinking and drinking caps on, and trivi-YAH!

What's going on at House Rules? We're expanding! Again!

Today we busted through the wall to the vacant space next door. This expansion will double our square footage. Half of the new space will be for additional seating, and half will be for a retail store.

The new seating area will seat up to 120 guests. Our weekly and special events will be held here. We're tired of turning away guests for these events, or walk-ins for regular gaming, because we're full. This may sound counter intuitive, but we're also removing some seating from our existing space. We heard you, and agree, it can get pretty loud and crowded in here.

The other exciting part is opening a dedicated retail store! No more squeezing around tables to browse games for sale. It will be quieter and have staff available to help find games. We'll also have tables for demo games to try before you buy.

We don't have an official opening date, but we're estimating about three weeks. Follow for updates!

We are open for normal business hours during construction.

GAME ON!
