SUMMARY:Registration Ends for World Mechanical Puzzle Competition!
DESCRIPTION:Registration Ends Today!\nThe Scratching Post CU is a competition venue for the World Mechanical Puzzle Competition! \nThe competition is Saturday\, November 28 from 3pm-5pm but registration ends Wednesday\, September 30! \nREGISTER HERE TO JOIN IN THE FUN! \nWhat is a Mechanical Puzzle?\nMechanical puzzles are crafted from quality materials such as wood\, acrylic or metal and come in many forms – assembly\, disentanglement\, interlocking\, mazes\, hidden mechanisms\, and more. \nTheir power lies in their tactile nature: physical\, collectible objects that invite direct interaction and spark curiosity. Each puzzle challenges the solver to persist until every secret is uncovered – whether by assembling shapes\, unlocking a mechanism\, or separating interlocked pieces. \nThough rooted in ancient traditions\, mechanical puzzles are experiencing a modern revival through online communities and live events. They can be cherished as gifts\, collectibles\, or shared moments of playful discovery. \nFor Participants\nJoin the competition and experience the fun of mechanical puzzle solving! Participation is open to everyone aged 14 and older\, regardless of experience level. Registration runs through September\, with limited spots at each venue. \nOn competition day\, Saturday\, November 28 at 3pm\, participants collect their limited-edition competition kit at their selected venue and have two hours to solve seven original mechanical puzzles featuring different difficulty levels\, mechanisms\, and materials. Each solved puzzle reveals a word or number to record on an answer sheet\, and participants keep the puzzle kit after the event. \nVenue staff submit the answer sheets for review and scoring. Official solutions and global rankings are then published on our website\, and prizes are shipped to the top performers in each category. \nRegister here!\nEven if you’re not into competing and you just want the limited edition kit\, register by September 30th here!

SUMMARY:Party Game Night - Bring Your Own Book
DESCRIPTION:How does this work?\nLearn a fun game\, meet new friends! \nBring Your Own Book is a fun party game for three-to-twenty players. Bring any book\, newspaper\, graphic novel\, etc and we’ll walk you through how to play! \nThere will be plenty of time for a few playthroughs of Bring Your Own Book\, and all participants are welcome to break off into smaller groups after and enjoy the rest of our game library until 10pm! \nWhat is this game?\nYour old favorite book is now your new favorite game! In Bring Your Own Book\, players take turns drawing prompts from the deck\, then race to find the best phrase in their own book that satisfies the prompt. What’s the tastiest “name for a candy bar” in that history textbook you’re reading for school? How quickly can you find “lyrics from a country western song” in your dog-training guide? What kind of “advice for graduating seniors” will appear in your anthology of limericks? \n \nPlease note\nThis game is played on our cafe side\, separate from the cat lounge.  If you’d like to visit the cats\, you can make a reservation here! \n  \n \n\n\nPowered by SimpleTix

SUMMARY:Play 500+ Board Games
DESCRIPTION:Our library has over 500 board games\, both classic and modern.\n–Want to keep it simple with something like Monopoly or Jenga? We’ve got you covered. What something more modern like Catan or Ticket to ride? We’ve got those too. Want something brand spankin’ new you can’t even buy in the stores yet? WE’VE GOT THOSE TOO.\n–\nGame passes are $5/person for 2 hours and are first come first served for tables. We have lots of tools to help you choose a game (see our game picker linked below\,) learn a game without actually reading the rules (most games are stickered with a QR code that takes you to a how to play video….for those of you that hate reading rulebooks) or you can even bring in your own game/DND group/etc. Same game pass pricing applies.\n–PLUS we have snacks\, drinks\, alcohol\, cats (in their separate lounge but viewable from the cafe side through large windows) and all the good vibes.\n20% of the profits from our food\, drink and merch sales go back to our partner rescues. Hang out. Buy stuff. Help cats.\n–\nCheck out our full game list here:https://scratchingpostcu.com/game-table-reservations/\n–\nSee what our Game Picker suggests for you here: https://gamepicker.scratchingpostcu.com/
