The old theme park has been abandoned for years. Now, the council is determined to sell the land to developers, despite your evidence that it’s home to a particularly uncharismatic species of endangered moth. The only way to save the ugly bugs is by convincing everyone the theme park is haunted. It was the perfect plan... until some local busybodies (and, inexplicably, their dog) took an interest.

Whether you're familiar with tabletop roleplaying games like D&D or a newbie, join us for a ridiculous, one-session adventure to try and stop those meddling kids! Open to grades 6-12.
