About the Speed Scrabble Competition
The game room will host concurrent 15-minute rounds of Speed Scrabble throughout the evening. Trade in your ticket, and you’ll be placed at a table for one round. The player with the most points at the end of each round will be awarded 10 tickets, which can be used to enter our raffle or join in more games of Speed Scrabble. Didn’t win? Don’t worry! Additional tickets are available for $5 each. Full Speed Scrabble rules will be posted at the event and explained before each round.
