The “True American” drinking game is a chaotic and imaginative party game that gained popularity after being featured on the TV show New Girl. It combines elements of drinking, strategy, and teamwork with quirky rules that often involve navigating a room as though the floor is "lava." The game’s structure includes a mix of trivia, puzzle-solving, and an elaborate setup that often leaves room for improvisation, making it as much about creativity as it is about gameplay. Once all the beers have been removed, the first player to reach the bottle of alcohol, finish their beer, and take a swig from bottle, wins the game. ***Disclosure: Please don’t drive after drinking.***  The Castle The Castle is made up of one bottle of liquor and many cans of beer (you decide how many based on the number of players). The liquor is the King and sits in the middle of the Castle. The cans of beer are the Pawns and the Soldiers of the Secret Order. The Pawns are lined up in four lines radiating outward from the King. These lines of Pawns also signify the barriers between each zone. The game ends when all the Pawns have been removed and a player drinks from the King. The Zones There are four zones, each with five spaces where a player can stand. The center space in each zone is the only space where the Pawns can be taken and thus it is the closest space to the Castle. There are a total of four of these spaces. The spaces at the beginning and end of the zones are the farthest away from the Castle. Setup Before the game starts, determine how many beers total should be consumed and setup the Castle with those beers as the Pawns. Using the lines of Pawns as barriers between the zones; designate each zone, making sure to have 5 spaces in each zone as described above. Teams are optional. Gameplay After setup is complete, players may have a shotgun contest to determine who has the first turn. If no player wisher to shotgun a beer, play rock-paper-scissors instead. To start the game, the winner of this contest yells "One, two three, JFK!" at which point all other players yell "FDR", grab a Pawn from the Castle, and retreat to any space. Players move around the game area in a clockwise direction. The player whose turn it is always moves one space; however, the other players must "win" their moves. This player has three ways to provide the other players with a way to win their move.
Players must always have a beer in their hand and may not have more than three at any one time. Players may only take a Pawn from the Castle when they are in one of the four center spaces. Winning After all Pawns have been removed, the King is vulnerable. The first player to land on one of the center spaces, finish their beer and take a swig from the King, wins the game! Losing If you are caught without a beer or with only an empty beer, you lose. If you step in molten lava, you lose. To enter back into the game, drink one full beer and start on a space that the other players decide. BIG DEAL Company is a creative collective of women here to bring you joy!

Sustainability is a responsibility.  At Big Deal Company, we take this responsibility seriously. Here’s a glimpse into how we ensure our events (and clients) leave a positive impact on the planet: Digital Transformation: Zoom, Zoom, Zoom! We’ve fully embraced digital meetings, reducing the need for in-person gatherings, and cutting down on transportation emissions. We also have moved all of our record-keeping to digital platforms, and work to keep most of our communications online, as well. By leveraging technology, we not only save time and resources but also significantly lessen our carbon footprint.  Local Sourcing: From event items to printing materials, we prioritize sourcing locally. Not only does this support our community, but it also reduces the environmental impact associated with long-distance transportation. Team-wide Recycling: Sustainability starts at home! Our entire team is committed to personal recycling, ensuring that we minimize waste at home, in the office, and at our events. Comprehensive Recycling Options: We go the extra mile to provide recycling options at all our events. From dedicated bins to clear signage, we make it easy for our clients and their attendees to dispose of their waste responsibly. Reuse, Reuse, Reuse: Our commitment to sustainability extends to every detail, including event signage. We use recyclable paper for all printed signage and repurpose and reuse the frames that hold them, minimizing waste and maximizing resource efficiency. Linen Laundering: Whenever possible, we use and launder our own linens instead of opting for disposable alternatives. This not only reduces waste but also ensures a higher-quality experience for all.  Recycled Decor: Sustainability doesn’t mean sacrificing style. We recycle and reuse decor for multiple events, giving each gathering our unique Big Deal touch while minimizing environmental impact. Compostable Catering: Food waste is a BIG DEAL. Whenever we’re not using china for an event, we prioritize compostable catering options, ensuring that even leftovers can sustainably return to the earth. BIG DEAL Carpool Karaoke: Transportation is a significant contributor to carbon emissions. That’s why our team strives to carpool to most events and meetings, reducing the number of vehicles on the road and the associated environmental footprint. Plus, we enjoy each other’s company - carpool time is team-building time, too!  How We Help Clients Create Eco-Friendly Events:
 Sustainability isn’t just a checkbox on an event “To-Do” list. It’s a BIG DEAL Core Principle that guides everything we do. Together, with our clients and partners, we’re shaping a brighter, greener future, one event at a time. Let’s make every gathering a celebration of sustainability!

Planned and produced with the assistance of Big Deal Company, the event was hailed by attendees as the “Best Builder’s Ball yet!” Our team assisted with messaging, PR, social media, website, vendor management, staffing and event logistics. Here is a recap of the evening’s success and highlights.  With a sold-out crowd, the Builder’s Ball brought the community together for a memorable evening filled with engagement, fun, and generosity! Highlights included:
 Support that Made It All Possible The event’s success was made possible through the tremendous support from various community members and organizations:
Supporting Loveland Habitat’s Mission: Addressing Northern Colorado’s Housing Crisis The Builder’s Ball raised crucial funds to help Habitat for Humanity provide safe, affordable housing to families in Northern Colorado, where stable housing is increasingly out of reach. By empowering families to achieve homeownership, Loveland Habitat fosters security, educational advancement, and financial stability - benefits that extend through generations. Gratitude for a Successful Builder’s Ball The 2024 Builder’s Ball was a true testament to the power of community support. From the engaging program to the generosity displayed in every auction bid and “Buy to Build” purchase, this event demonstrated that Loveland residents are passionate about making a difference. Thank you to all who attended, sponsored, volunteered, and contributed to this meaningful cause. We look forward to building even more homes and hope to see everyone at next year’s Builder’s Ball!

We have a FREE printable available below. 4 pages of important takeaways.
Events are aiming to be inclusive by considering local DEI initiatives, adjusting language to resonate with varied audiences, and choosing venues and suppliers that reflect attendee values. Several current factors are shaping DEI in event planning. Here’s a look at this movement and how event professionals can navigate it successfully:  Audience Expectations and Representation Attendees increasingly expect events to reflect diversity, both in speakers and in attendees. Having a mix of backgrounds, genders, and experiences represented in speakers and panels is now essential. Event planners who create inclusive environments are finding more engagement and satisfaction from audiences. Accessibility Offering accommodations for those with disabilities, from physical access to sensory-friendly options, as well as hybrid or virtual alternatives, is increasingly expected. Planners are prioritizing ADA-compliant spaces, live captioning, sign language interpretation, and digital access for remote attendees. Cultural, Gender, and Age Sensitivity and Inclusivity Ensuring respect and inclusivity throughout an event involves considering aspects like language, dress codes, food choices, and even event themes. Planners are emphasizing the importance of honoring cultural norms, celebrating diversity, and avoiding cultural stereotypes. Social and Economic Equity Rising costs of attending events, including travel, accommodation, and registration fees, can be barriers to diverse participation. Many organizations are creating scholarship funds, offering tiered pricing, and expanding remote participation options to make attendance feasible for a broader audience. Supplier Diversity There’s a strong movement toward supporting diverse suppliers, such as minority- and women-owned businesses for catering, venue management, and other event services. This not only supports DEI initiatives but also brings diverse perspectives and experiences into the event’s overall environment. Free download
