Theme
Arkansas is full of local and regional folk tales, and as we start to ease into Autumn, we would love to learn and hear about what stories have been passed down through your town. Ghost stories can encompass haunted houses, unrequited love, unexplained phenomena and even some silly bits of lore, and can be found in every dark and dusty corner of this state, from the Ozarks to the Delta. Need some inspiration? Visit your library, your mayor, or a local museum. Because every story is unique, we expect any kind of game could be used. So get creative, flex those coding muscles (large or small), and tell us your favorite Arkansas ghost story. As always, we look forward to playing it.
