- **Event Description**: READ THESE DETAILS BEFORE PURCHASING TICKETS

This ain’t bar trivia. It’s research-heavy, gritty, and competitive. Know what you’re signing up for. You’ve been warned.

IMPORTANT POLICY – ONE NIGHT PER PERSON
I host True Crime Cult the third Tuesday and Wednesday of each month at Cult Classic. You may only attend one night per case.

If you show up to both, I’ll call you out, embarrass you in front of the room, disqualify your team, and ban you from all future True Crime Cult. No second chances. No excuses. Don’t test me.

This is a serious competition, but it’s still meant to be fun. Grow up and don’t ruin it for everyone.

IMPORTANT POLICY – AGE DISCLAIMER
True Crime Cult is not a family-friendly event. We talk about murder, rape, trauma. 
The worst parts of humanity. Because that’s what true crime is.

I use strong language, dark humor, and I don’t hold back. There will be crude jokes. There will be uncomfortable truths. If that makes you uneasy, this probably isn’t your night.

Suggested age is 16+. 

If someone under 18 is in the room, it’s on their adult to know what they’re walking into.

====

Every third Tuesday,  Wednesday, and Thursday the truth comes out. Some crimes get solved. Others never will. And some are still happening while the whole world watches.

Each month, J. Coursey Willis cracks open a new case: unsolved, infamous, or just too twisted to forget. Once announced, you’ve got three weeks to study up and prepare for a night of gritty, case-based trivia for prizes, pride… and the right to talk trash for a month.

The Next True Crime Cult: The Zodiac Killer

In December 1968, two teenagers pulled onto a secluded road in Northern California.

David Faraday and Betty Lou Jensen.

They were on their first date. Neither made it home.

Six months later, another young couple was sitting in a parked car near Vallejo. A man approached with a flashlight. Then he opened fire.

Darlene Ferrin was killed. Michael Mageau survived.

Weeks later, newspapers across Northern California began receiving letters from someone claiming responsibility. He included details only the killer should have known. He included a cipher. And soon, he gave himself a name.

The Zodiac.

Over the next several months, the attacks became stranger.
At Lake Berryessa, a hooded man wearing a black symbol on his chest tied up Bryan Hartnell and Cecelia Shepard before stabbing them repeatedly.

Hartnell survived. Shepard did not.

Then, in San Francisco, cab driver Paul Stine was shot in the head.
Days later, a piece of Stine's bloody shirt arrived at a newspaper.
The murders were terrifying.

But murder alone is not what made the Zodiac one of the most infamous killers in American history.

It was the letters. The ciphers. The threats. The strange crossed-circle symbol. The claims of more victims. The promise that his identity was hidden somewhere inside his codes.

And the opening line that became impossible to forget:

"This is the Zodiac speaking."

Then the killings stopped. The letters eventually stopped too. But the mystery never did.

Suspects came and went. Handwriting was examined. Fingerprints were compared. DNA was tested. Amateur investigators spent decades trying to crack what police could not.

One of his most famous ciphers remained unsolved for 51 years. And even when it was finally broken, it did not reveal his name.

More than half a century later, no one has ever been conclusively identified as the Zodiac Killer.

This September, True Crime Cult is heading to Northern California. Not just for the murders.

For the letters. The codes. The suspects. The survivors. The mistakes.

And the unidentified man who turned five murders into one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in American history.

Cult Classic Brewing – Private Venue Room
Advance tickets only – No door sales

Doors Open: 5:45 PM
Doors Close: 6:30 PM sharp

====

HOW TICKETS & SEATING WORK
Tables seat 4 people. If you want the whole thing to yourself, buy all 4 seats.

Teams can combine 2 tables for a MAX of 8 players. You CANNOT have more than 8 per team.

If you plan to combine two tables, make sure you buy two of the same type that are near each other.

Diamond-shaped tables = low tops
Circle-shaped tables = high tops

Most teams do it like this: one person buys all the tickets (anywhere from 1 to 8), then their friends pay them back and show up together the night of. Easy.

Flying solo? Grab a single ticket, but only full-table purchases guarantee a private team.

HOUSE RULES
No phones.
No notes.
No cheating.

Don’t test it. I will kick you out permanently.

Come early (not when the doors close). Grab food. Get a drink. 
The case starts at 6:30 PM sharp.

Produced & Hosted by J. Coursey Willis
Cold cases. Drinks and deception. Mug Shots handed out along the way.
Serious competition. Dark humor. Bring your brain or stay home.
Bloodstains fade. The story remains.
