This ain’t bar trivia. It’s research-heavy, gritty, and competitive. Know what you’re signing up for. You’ve been warned.
I host True Crime Cult the third Tuesday and Wednesday of each month at Cult Classic. You may only attend one night per case.
If you show up to both, I’ll call you out, embarrass you in front of the room, disqualify your team and ban you from all future True Crime Cult. No second chances. No excuses. Don’t test me.
This is a serious competition — but it’s still meant to be fun. Grow up and don’t ruin it for everyone.
True Crime Cult is not a family-friendly event. We talk about murder, abuse, trauma, and the worst parts of humanity — because that’s what true crime is.
I use strong language, dark humor, and I don’t hold back. There will be crude jokes. There will be uncomfortable truths. If that makes you uneasy, this probably isn’t your night.
Suggested age is 16+. If someone under 18 is in the room, it’s on their adult to know what they’re walking into.
Every third Tuesday & Wednesday, the truth comes out. Some crimes get solved. Others never will. And some are still happening while the whole world watches.
Each month, J. Coursey Willis cracks open a new case: unsolved, infamous, or just too twisted to forget. Once announced, you’ve got three weeks to study up and prepare for a night of gritty, case-based trivia — for prizes, pride… and the right to talk trash for a month.
Two students. Two shotguns. One suburban high school that never saw it coming.
April 20, 1999 — a date burned into America’s memory. When Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold walked into Columbine High School, they weren’t just carrying guns. They were carrying rage, notebooks full of hate, and a plan to make history in the worst way possible.
By the time it was over, 13 were dead. Dozens were wounded. And the nation was forced to look into a mirror it didn’t want to see.
Was it bullying? Was it mental illness? Was it music, movies, video games — or something far darker?
The media scrambled for villains. Politicians looked for scapegoats. But the real story was more complicated… and more terrifying.
Columbine wasn’t just a tragedy. It was the blueprint for every school shooting that followed.
So what really happened that day? And why, more than 25 years later, are we still asking the same questions — with no answers that make sense?
Tuesday, September 16 & Wednesday, September 17
Cult Classic Brewing – Private Venue Room
Advance tickets only – No door sales
Doors Open: 5:45 PM
Doors Close: 6:30 PM sharp
Tables seat 4 people. If you want the whole thing to yourself, buy all 4 seats.
Teams can combine 2 tables for a MAX of 8 players. You CANNOT have more than 8 per team.
If you plan to combine two tables, make sure you buy two of the same type that are near each other.
Most teams do it like this: one person buys all the tickets (anywhere from 1 to 8), then their friends pay them back and show up together the night of. Easy.
Flying solo? Grab a single ticket — but only full-table purchases guarantee a private team.
Don’t test it. I will kick you out permanently.
Come early (not when the doors close). Grab food. Get a drink. The case starts at 6:30 PM sharp.
Produced & Hosted by J. Coursey Willis
