Adult Spelling Bee @ The Congregation

The Hive Mind is Heading Back to The Congregation

Get ready for a fast-paced, game-show-style spelling bee where teamwork matters, quick thinking wins, and chaos is part of the fun — all centered around community, creativity, and connection.

The Hive Mind is not your elementary school spelling bee. This is a high-energy, team-based competition where you grab two friends (3 people per team) or form a team when you arrive and take your shot at spelling glory.

Three teams will be randomly selected each round to hit the stage and compete in a series of hilarious and unpredictable challenges, including:

Backwards Spelling – Because forward is too easy.
Spell & Steal – Get it right… or watch another team snatch your points.
…and plenty more twists to keep everyone buzzing.

Not competing? No problem.
Spectating is welcome and audience participation is encouraged.
Submit difficult words for teams to tackle, shout out suggestions during interactive prompts, or sit back and enjoy the hilarious, unscripted chaos as it unfolds live.

The winning team will be crowned our Spelling Hive Masters, earn ultimate bragging rights, and take home an amazing prize.

Bring your friends.
Bring your brain.
Bring the buzz.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
