DASH 12 · September 13, 2025

Chicago, IL

Hey- we're back!

It's been awhile- Anna and James went from about to have their first kid during DASH 11 to now having a second kid going into DASH 12. This will be Chicago's 10th DASH event, going all the way back to DASH 3 in 2011 in the Loop with James, Wil, and the OG DASH Creator Deb.

We're heading back to Lincoln Park & the Zoo for DASH 12- it'll be our third time, but this year's event calls for heading back there.

Game will start at 10am CST; check-in at 9:15am CST.

Specific location TBD, but if you're driving the Lincoln Park Zoo parking lot will have you covered.
Public transportation? Take the Brown/Purple lines to Armitage; Red line to Fullerton, or a variety of bus lines (22, 36, 151, or 156).

We can't wait to see both old friends and new- come for the puzzles; stay for the lovely day in the park (and more puzzles).
