How To Get to ET
A lot of our events take place at our house, which is a bit of a walk from campus. To make them more accessible, we drive our 15-passenger van to campus to pick people up before each event, and we drive people back to campus afterwards. If you are interested in coming over for an event, meet us in Lobby 10 at the time listed on the event, and look for people holding a big duck sign and a giant stuffed duck.
If you can't find us, or would like a ride to ET at a time that isn't the start of one of our events, email et-www@mit.edu and we'll do what we can to help!

Dinner and Blood on the Clocktower
5:00 PM - 10:00 PM: Meet in lobby 10
Blood on the Clocktower is a social deduction game, similar to Mafia. The evil team must lie to hide their identities and kill off the good team before they are found out. In this game, all characters have a unique role, but the exact set of roles at the table is not known, making it easy for the evil team to hide. Gather information to determine players' true identities, but be careful! Any information gathered while either drunk or poisoned by in-game effects will be unreliable, so don't jump to conclusions. Any dead players can still talk and vote! Nominate and execute the demon and you win!
For dinner: TBD
