RENO EVENTS FIELD GUIDE
Three-player minimum, two terrifying 80s campfire stories at Camp Ruby Lake
Gather around a campfire in Reno and choose between two curated live-action horror tales — a haunted Cabin 8 or a hunt for a legendary creature — each run as its own one-hour experience.
Three-player minimum, two terrifying 80s campfire stories at Camp Ruby Lake.
Camp Ruby Lake stages an old-school summer-camp nightmare: small groups gather by the fire to be pulled into one of two spine‑chilling, fully live stories—either a night in the haunted Cabin 8 or a hunt for a blood‑thirsty creature—each designed to play out as a single, intense hour under the stars.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
A campfire that starts the story
The experience begins with participants gathering around a fire and choosing which of two distinct tales they will live through, anchoring the evening in communal suspense before the action begins.
The Lady of the Lake — Cabin 8
An easier option that leans into jump scares: players take the roles of camp counselors spending a night in Cabin 8 to test whether the rumor of a girl who drowned in the 1970s is true.
The Blood Moon — track the legend
A harder, more adventurous story in which participants play reluctant park rangers tracking a blood‑thirsty creature blamed for hikers who have gone missing around the campgrounds.
What the day feels like
What the night feels like
The flow is compact and theatrical: groups assemble at a meeting point, gather at the campfire to select a tale, then step into a one‑hour live scenario in which they play assigned roles and attempt to survive or solve the night’s mystery.
