As we close out our first full year, we're gathering to celebrate everything we've accomplished together and fuel the adventures ahead. Next Level Night is more than a party. It's a celebration of the community we're building and an investment in Chicago's gaming future.
Join Us for an Unforgettable Evening
This is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and every ticket purchased directly supports CTGA's mission to unite Chicagoland through exceptional and inclusive tabletop gaming.
What to Expect
Community & Connection. Connect with fellow gamers, GMs, local creators, and the CTGA board. Whether you've been with us since the launch party or you're just discovering our community, you'll find your people here.
Celebration & Reflection. Look back on a year of incredible events, from our launch party to celebrity collaborations, from player matchmaking to artist spotlights. We'll share highlights, stories, and what's coming in 2026.
Prizes & Raffles. Win amazing tabletop gaming gear, exclusive merchandise, and one-of-a-kind experiences. (Plus, your raffle ticket purchases directly support our work!)
Food & Drinks. Enjoy a delicious taco bar featuring chicken, steak, and veggie options with Rojo Gusano's famous made-to-order tortillas. All dietary preferences welcome! Craft cocktails available for purchase at Koval's tasting room to toast the year and our amazing community.
Wear what makes you feel fabulous! Use this as an occasion to dress in your favorite frock. From cocktail casual to cosplay couture, we’d love you to show up as your most authentic self!
