Trapped In A Room With A Zombie.......

The night was cold, the air was crisp and the moon was full. This makes for a perfect evening to be trapped in a room with a zombie! Us E&A members really got to know each other as we put out heads together in order to fight for our lives! (not really). We had one hour to work together to solve a series of riddles and puzzles in order to reveal the key that opened the door to freedom. Doesn’t sound too difficult, right? Wrong! I forgot to mention we only had 1 hour and there was a  live zombie that was out to get us! Even though he was chained to the wall, he was struggling to get his rotting hands on us any way that he could!  To make things worse, every 5 minutes a link in the chain was released allowing the zombie to inch closer and closer.  The team work was amazing! We solved every clue but one… that meant we were zombie meat!  All in all this adventure was totally awesome and it was my favorite event yet.  Next time E&A is takin’ that zombie down!   Events And Adventures Chicago

What’s Better Than A Saturday Night And A Rockin’ Piano?

How about two rockin’ pianos!
Throw in some friends and now we’re talking great fun! Over the weekend we hit the town and enjoyed live dueling pianos and danced the night away. We had plenty of food, drinks and laughs. It was the perfect night to unwind and let loose. Plus, there were so many new members to meet! You know you’re having fun when you check your watch and 3 hours have passed in the blink of an eye. We could have sang and danced until the sun came up (especially those of us who ended up on stage). E&A definitely showed that crowd who’s boss! Only some of us left with sore feet, but we all left with new friendships! Events And Adventures Chicago

2013 Went Out With A Bang!


2013 sure went out with a bang for Events & Adventures in Chicago! Our New Year’s Eve Midnight Masquerade Party was the most extravagant event yet with over 100 members! The evening was magical as we were dressed to impress from head to toe, showing off our elaborate masks. From feathers to sequence to lace, everyone looked fabulous! The atmosphere was decorated with bright, bold colors and funky oversized furniture. Enormous light fixtures hung from the ceiling casting a soft glow upon us. Our private lounge was warm and cozy. We enjoyed floor to ceiling windows as a blanket of snow covered our beautiful city . The champagne bubbled, the excitement was contagious and the dance floor was the place to be. As the clock struck Midnight, smiles and hugs filled the room. It was the perfect setting to celebrate with friends, old and new. It is amazing to see how far we have come and it only continues to get better! We simply cannot wait to see what new friends and memories 2014 has in store for us!

Helping Others On Christmas!

What do most people do on Christmas Eve morning? Last minute shopping? Relax? Wrap presents? Not some of us E&A members here in Chicago. We spent half of our day volunteering at the Greater Chicago Food Depository, a nonprofit distribution center. We came together as a group of friends and recognized the needs of thousands of individuals and families during this special holiday. We packaged, sorted and organized food. These items went out to 650 pantries, soup kitchens and shelters in Chicago and the surrounding county. It was a nice opportunity to spend time together while sharing the common interest of helping others. Events and Adventures can proudly say that we assisted in feeding 150,000 hungry people a delicious Christmas meal. What an amazing accomplishment! Plus, some of us even caught a few minutes of fame as the FOX news Station reported alongside us as we were hard at work! Events And Adventures Chicago
