It’s in the Cards: Nightmares
A Halloween social for Toronto’s 30s & 40s crowd.
Moonlight
Kensington Market
Thurs, Oct 29 · 6:30-10PM
$25 until Oct 25th
A Halloween party where the cards get people talking.
You don't have to talk about yourself. Talk about what's on your card.
Everyone starts with a random nightmare scenario. Compare them, talk them over, and swap them. Each card has a secret point value.
The cards make it easy to join in.
And coming alone works really well here.
Most guests come on their own.
Once trading begins, everyone moves around the room anyway!
What guests have said
“I thought I’d stay for an hour and ended up staying until 11.”
— Nicole
“I’m in my late 40s, so I was a bit hesitant, but I fit right in. Age really didn’t factor into the fun or vibe of the evening.”
— Arjun
“Great fun. I loved negotiating around the cards.”
— Chris
How it works
1. Receive a card
Start with a random “nightmare” scenario.
2. Compare and trade
Find out what others have, and swap cards if you both agree. Your starting card must be traded at least once.
3. Team up
Join three other guests and submit your four cards. Then the hidden rankings are revealed, and the highest scoring teams win prizes!

Frequently Asked Questions
How do the cards and rankings work?
Each nightmare has a hidden point value based on how often people chose it in a series of “Would You Rather?” matchups before the event.
At the end of the night, the rankings are revealed and the highest scoring teams win prizes.
Is this a dating event?
Nope. This is a social event. Come to talk, laugh, play the game and enjoy the night. What happens after that is up to you.
Can I come alone?
Absolutely. Most guests do, and the card trading makes it easy to join conversations.
Do I have to be outgoing?
Nope. The game gives you a natural way into every conversation - just compare cards and see where it goes.
What’s the age range?
The event is designed primarily for adults in their 30s and 40s, but being outside that range is completely fine.
One night. A room full of strangers. Everyone carrying a nightmare.
