Game Night with Peter Sagal is curated and co-hosted by local co-creator of the popular indie game, Cards Against Humanity, Max Temkin. Sagal and Temkin will instruct guests on how to play a selection of interactive art games, video games and tabletop classics. In addition, guests will get the chance to play Temkin's new interactive card game, Slap .45, which completed a Kickstarter with over 2,000 backers, as well as Killer Queen, an impressive 10-player, two-team arcade console game.

"We made so many amazing new friends at our first game night [in October, 2014] that Max, Peter and I were all excited to bring it back as soon as possible. Max has built out an incredible new space, and he's lending not only his growing game resources and expertise, but also this brand new facility to support The House. It's really a gift," said Nathan Allen, The House's Artistic Director.
