Description
READ THESE DETAILS BEFORE PURCHASING TICKETS
This ain’t bar trivia. It’s research-heavy, gritty, and competitive. Know what you’re signing up for. You’ve been warned.
IMPORTANT POLICY – ONE NIGHT PER PERSON
I host True Crime Cult the third Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday 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.
IMPORTANT POLICY – AGE DISCLAIMER
True Crime Cult is not a family-friendly event. We talk about murder, rape, trauma.
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.
The Next True Crime Cult: The Watts Family Murders
In 2018, America watched a family disappear from the front porch of a perfect suburban life.
A husband. A pregnant wife. Two little girls.
Colorado sunshine. Facebook videos. Birthday parties. Family photos.
The kind of life people post when they want the world to believe everything is fine.
But inside that house, something was already dead.
Shanann Watts came home from a work trip in the middle of the night.
By morning, she was gone. So were Bella and Celeste.
Then Chris Watts stood on his porch and begged for their return.
Calm. Concerned. Empty.
He gave interviews. He pleaded into cameras. He played the grieving husband and terrified father.
But the story cracked fast.
A neighbor’s security footage. A failed polygraph. A mistress. A confession.
Then the truth came out, worse than anyone wanted to believe.
Shanann was dead. Bella and Celeste were dead.
Their unborn son, Nico, was dead too.
And the man asking America to help find them was the one who killed them.
The Watts Family Murders were not a mystery for long.
That is not what made the case so disturbing.
It was the performance. The smiling photos. The porch interview.
The way a man could erase his family, then stand in front of the world and pretend he was waiting for them to come home.
This one is going to be one hell of a wild ride.

Cult Classic Brewing – Private Venue Room
Advance tickets only – No door sales
Doors Open: 5:45 PM
Doors Close: 6:30 PM sharp
HOW TICKETS & SEATING WORK
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.
Diamond-shaped tables = low tops
Circle-shaped tables = high tops
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.
HOUSE RULES
No phones.
No notes.
No cheating.
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
Cold cases. Drinks and deception. Mug Shots handed out along the way.
Serious competition. Dark humor. Bring your brain or stay home.
Bloodstains fade. The story remains.
