Push Push Penguin
by Wise Wizard Games
Time: Saturday, February 21, 2026 8:30am
Penguins are so pushy, especially when scrambling over slippery ice to get to the ocean! In Push Push Penguin, you will compete in a race filled with slides, snacks, and seals. But there is a catch! An Orca approaches, and it will chase away the first penguin to cross paths with it – so the Penguin who finishes second in this race is the winner!
MENU: A fresh, satisfying breakfast spread featuring orange and apple juices, ripe hand fruit, sliced melons with cubed seasonal fruits and berries, steel-cut oatmeal with brown sugar, cinnamon, and raisins, individual Chobani yogurts, assorted fresh muffins, cage-free scrambled eggs, and applewood-smoked bacon.
Tapple
Sponsored by The Op
Time: Sunday, February 22, 2026 12:30pm
Get ready for fast thinking, friendly competition, and a whole lot of laughs! Tapple is the high-energy word game where every second counts. Race against the timer to name items in a category, hit the letter, and pass the turn before time runs out. Sounds easy… until the pressure’s on!
At this Eat, Play, Win! event, our team will teach you how to play, guide you through the action, and keep the energy high from start to finish. Your ticket includes a delicious meal, a fully themed gaming experience, and chances to win prizes while you play. Quick to learn, wildly fun, and perfect for groups, Tapple delivers nonstop excitement that anyone can jump into. Come hungry, bring your A-game, and see how fast you really think!
MENU
Put your quick thinking to the test with Tapple Burgers, a build-your-own experience inspired by the fast-paced fun of Tapple from The Op. Just like the game, the challenge is simple: no repeats and every choice must start with a different letter. Begin with a Hamburger on a Bun, then race through the board choosing Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, or Pickles—only one item per letter. Add a single Mustard or Mayonnaise to finish your creation. Round out your plate with Coleslaw or Potato chips, then end on a sweet note with Dessert. Stay refreshed with Iced tea or Water while you play. Think fast, choose wisely, and build a burger that’s as fun as it is delicious. (Please be aware this menu is still being finalized)
Don’t Botch the Broccoli & Chicken!
Sponsored by both How to Steam Broccoli & Keymaster Games
Time: Saturday, February 21, 2026 12:30pm
Two quick and fun-filled games will leave you hungry for more during this Eat. Play. Win! double feature!
In Don’t Botch the Broccoli, time it just right and cook up a perfect place of green goodness. Just be careful that you don’t botch the broccoli and have to start all over! In the game, players have an identical hand of broccoli cards numbered -1 to 4 and simultaneously play one card each turn. Any players who played the same number on their broccoli card move their card to their steamer. Then whichever player played the lowest remaining card gets to cook their broccoli (move the card to their score pile), along with any cards in their steamer from previous turns. Any other players’ cards are botched, and must return to their hand along with any cards in their steamer. To win, you’ve got to find the right time to play each card so that you can cook up a big pile of broccoli.
Chicken! is the newest hit hatching at your friendly neighborhood publisher, Keymaster. It takes a minute to learn, but is busting with exciting moments and laughter. On the go at a convention or pub? Chicken! is easy to bring along for a fun night out. Looking to party it up with friends after a week of hard work on the farm? Roll those dice and take a drink if you bust. Chicken! is a game for anyone, anywhere, at any time!
MENU: Enjoy a thoughtfully crafted menu featuring a baby spinach salad, pan-seared chicken breast with cremini mushroom and tarragon sauce, blended wild rice pilaf, broccoli, artisanal bread with sweet butter, iced tea or water, and a bright key lime tart to finish.
