When is the last time you played Scrabble and formed a conga line or entered a costume contest for additional points or extra tiles? Chances are never — unless you've attended Literacy Advance of Houston's "Scrabble in the City" event in previous years.

Competitive grown-ups will enjoy zany Scrabble, complete with game changers and special challenges, hearty dinner bites, Saint Arnold's famous brew and raffle drawings. The top prize? Mr. T, the coveted "Scrabble in the City" trophy and a year's worth of bragging rights. 

The creative night benefits Literacy Advance, the city's oldest and largest volunteer-based literacy provider.
