GET READY FOR CHILLING CREATIONS AND STRATEGIC FUN!

Join the World Chess Hall of Fame & Galleries, Saint Louis‘s premier cultural destination, for a hands-on workshop and play session. This family-friendly program is a highlight of the local calendar and a fun way to experience chess education through creative play and seasonal crafting.

The Program: Spooky Chess and Crafts

A Haunted Haven for Creativity and Competition

Calling all chess players and creative spirits! Get into the spooky season with some Halloween-themed arts and crafts at our Play & Create Space. After you’ve designed your chilling creations, you can challenge friends to a game of chess or try out other board games and activities. It’s a great chance to read, socialize, or just relax.

Rules & Details: This fun, free space is open to everyone, but a parent or guardian must accompany minors. Get ready to play, create, and get spooky with us!

All supplies for this self-led activity are included, and no chess experience is needed to join in!

The program is FREE for all attendees and World Chess Hall of Fame & Galleries Members! Learn more about becoming a member.
