Hometown Night
Dress like where you’re from — the high-school mascot, the local uniform, the regional cliche you secretly love. Bring a snack or drink that says home. Vote for the most committed representation of a zip code. Just enough effort to start a dozen conversations.
What it's for
Make geography the costume — the easiest brief that produces the most unexpected conversations.
The guest's job
Dress in your hometown’s most legible visual cue and bring one food or drink that is unmistakably local.
The vote
Most committed representation of a zip code — outfit and snack judged together.
The reveal
Each guest names their hometown before their fit is evaluated; no prior research allowed.
Food & drink spine
A patchwork table of regional snacks and drinks — the host provides nothing but the plates.
Conversation fuel
"What’s the one thing you’d never tell someone about where you’re from until the second drink?"
How it flops — steer around it
Costumes that need a tour guide to decode. Legible stereotype beats obscure authenticity every time.
