FRIDAY
20:00 – Pub Quiz
For those who are arriving on Friday, we’ll be hosting a Netrunner-themed quiz! Preregistration for this event is not necessary, anyone who shows up can participate. Format and players per team will be a surprise. The Playground has a selection of nice beers and warm beverages amoung other things so it should be a great evening. For those interested, The Playground has a decent selection of board games that can be played following the quiz.

We will keep an updated list in the discussion section of this event to track pre-registrations.

VENUE
The Playground is located in a cozier section of the city in car-free streets. We have booked the 1st floor and the basement for the entire weekend. You are allowed to bring your own food in but refrain from bringing your own drinks. There are plenty of choices at the bar and as The Plagyground is quite a new place which is largely volunteer-run, we would encourage everyone to purchase a few beverages during the event to help them out.
