Not a “history buff?” No reason to fear! These questions cover a wide range of topics and categories and include something for everyone.

Call them at 423.788.6782 and place an order by 5:00 pm on game day. They’ll bring your order up to the McKinney Center by 6:30 pm\, how frightfully delicious. \n \nIt’s only $8.00 per person to play! (Admission price does not include beer or food.) Tickets are available online at Jonesborough.com/tickets. Solo play is allowed. Teams are encouraged\, but the person limit per team is 8 people.
