Localsfan — Weekly Challenge Night for Taverns & Hotels
Weekly • Staffless • Table bookings • Built for quiet nights

A weekly group challenge night that fills quiet nights — without adding staff workload.

Localsfan is a repeatable weekly venue night (like trivia), except it runs quietly at tables with no host, no mic, and no staff involvement. Players use their phones to collaborate on drawing + problem-solving challenges that keep groups present, seated, and ordering.

Players book & pay $17 per table • 2–5 people • 2-table minimum • ~90 minutes • venue provides a simple prize

Start with a low-risk trial period. If it lifts the room, keep it running weekly.

STEP 1
Choose the weekly slot
Pick your quietest night (usually Mon–Wed).
STEP 2
We open table bookings
Players book and pay online: $17 per table. Venue handles $0.
STEP 3
Challenge runs at tables
~90 minutes. No MC. Runs quietly in the background.
STEP 4
Simple venue prize

Trial period (not a one-off event)
We start it, watch the bookings and room energy, then lock it in as a weekly night if it works. Easy to stop if it doesn’t.
