Carl & Donut’s Game Night at the Desperado

So fun it hurts.

What’s this?

September 2026 saw three sold-out nights as the Desperado Club (aka Greenfinch Theater & Dive) opened its doors for Game Night.

Co-hosted with The Novel Neighbor, who brought their favorite Donut merch, this was a ticketed event for local fans who SHOWED UP BIG! So much reveling, laughter, inside jokes and heartfelt conversation about favorite characters, scenes, and lessons from the books. Highlights here!

Original Event Description

So fun it hurts…

Welcome Crawlers! Your team will compete across three gamemaster-led rounds of absurd tasks and devious puzzles (it’s DCC, after all, what did you expect) plus the chance to talk about the franchise we love.

Teams will battle it out (and collaborate!) for survival, loot, actual real-world prizes, and the fleeting approval of a galactic audience. It’s trivia night energy with book-discussion thoughtfulness, wrapped in a Carl & Donut adventure.

You don’t need to be a tabletop person or have finished the series to play. We’re here for a hilarious game night to revel with other fans.

Seats are limited — the Desperado is members-only, after all.
