We invite you to a three-night stay in the luxurious and opulent Peery Hotel in the beating heart of Salt Lake City. This beautiful building from 1910 has seen more than its fair share of history. Some guests still walk its unhallowed halls years after their checkout date. As a popular site for seances, ghost tours, and paranormal investigations, the Peery Hotel has graciously opened their doors for our Game Night Getaway - Haunt 2024!

For three days and nights, we will treat you to the best in immersive horror themed boardgames and tabletop RPGs in an old ballroom open until 2 am. Make the lonely walk back to your room and try your best to get some sleep before waking up for another day of gaming!

Not for the faint of heart!
