How it works: Teams of 4 will go head to head to blaze the Oregon Trail! Each member of your team will have a maximum of one hour to lead their wagon from Independence, Missouri, to the Willamette Valley in Oregon. The goal is to get across the Oregon Trail without dying. We will take an average of your team's highest and lowest times to complete the journey. If you die within the first 15 minutes of your game time, you may restart your quest, and that time will be added to your new completion time.

What to wear: Dress your best to avoid typhoid fever, and your team could win a prize for the best outfits! Put on those leather boots, break out the fur, button up those linen shirts and buckle up for some fun on the trail!

Cost: $55 per person or $220 per team of four.
Includes competition entry, one complimentary beverage, a streaming party, and awards. Adult beverages are available.

Prizes for:

  • 1st Place Team

  • Best Dressed for the Trail

  • Wagon Leader who died with the most dignity

  • Best Family Backstory
