Redmond’s Pangaea Guild Hall transforms into a masquerade ball on the evening of Oct. 12. This one-night-only event, hosted by owners Chris and Kari Trulsen, offers a dose of role play, cocktails, food and fun games.
Pangaea Guild Hall, known for its vintage charm, serves as a unique tabletop gaming space by day and a cafe-cocktail bar by night. Set in a 1930s house in downtown Redmond, it’s a haven for both gamers and those seeking a cozy, creative atmosphere.
“We wanted to create a space where people could come together, relax and have fun in a way you don’t find anywhere else,” Chris Trulsen told the Source Weekly. “That’s how we want to approach our events as well.”
For the masquerade, guests are invited to dress in their finest attire along with a masquerade mask. Pangaea will make up the craft cocktails and decadent hors d’oeuvres, as guests wander through rooms filled with tarot readings, card games and a fire pit outside fit for spooky storytelling. A photo booth, complete with playful props, will give attendees a chance to capture the night’s magic.
“It’s fun to give people a chance to dress fancy for a night,” says Trulsen. “There aren’t too many opportunities like that in Redmond, so I’m excited to see how creative people get with their costumes and masks.”
The masquerade ball is just the beginning of a string of themed events at Pangaea. On Oct. 26 it hosts its Halloween party, complete with a costume contest, the Saturday before Halloween. The Trulsens plan to continue hosting events through the holidays, bringing more festive cheer to Downtown Redmond.
“In the future, we would love to host a murder mystery night,” Trulsen hinted. “Where people can team up to solve a mystery while exploring the house, sipping on drinks and enjoying great food.”
