Happy Hour: Spelling Bee

You know how to spell. Probably.

​Candid Club Happy Hour Spelling Bee takes the spelling bee you remember from school and turns it into a full game night.

​Everyone plays from beginning to end. There are no eliminations. Instead, you’ll collect points across six rounds of spelling games, with each round getting a little harder and a little more chaotic.

​Spell words out loud, spot the typo, fill in missing letters, unscramble words, survive Sip & Spell, and see where you land on the final leaderboard.

​Highest score at the end of the night takes the title of Happy Hour Spelling Bee Champion. 🐝

​What’s Included

• ​6 rounds of spelling games

• ​Individual scorecards

• ​Live leaderboard

• ​Mini prizes throughout the night

• ​Champion prize

• Full access to all rounds — no eliminations

​The Rounds

​ROUND 1 — CLASSIC BEE 🐝

We’re starting old school. Hear the word, spell it out loud, get the point.

​ROUND 2 — SPOT THE MISSPELLING 👀

Three spellings appear on screen. Only one is correct. Pick wisely.

​ROUND 3 — MISSING LETTERS 🔤

We’ll give you part of the word. You fill in what’s missing and complete the spelling.

​ROUND 4 — UNSCRAMBLE 🧩

All the right letters. Absolutely none of them in the right place. Figure out the word before time runs out.

​ROUND 5 — SIP & SPELL 🍸

Our wildcard round. Draw a challenge before getting your word.

​You could get:

• ​Double or Nothing

• Speed Spell

• ​Phone a Friend

• No Definition

• ​One Replay

​There are more points on the table here, so things can move very quickly on the leaderboard.

​ROUND 6 — THE FINAL BEE 🐝

The hardest words of the night.

​Everyone plays the final round, with more points up for grabs before we crown our champion.

​How Scoring Works

​Every correct answer earns points.

​Rounds increase in value as the night goes on, so an early spelling disaster does not take you out of the game.

​Your points from all six rounds are added together for your final score.

​Highest score wins.

​What to Expect

​Think game show more than school spelling bee.

​There’ll be words you know, words you thought you knew, typos hiding in plain sight, questionable guesses, drinks, and several opportunities to confidently spell something completely wrong in front of a room full of people.

​What to Bring

Your spelling skills.

​Or confidence. We’ll accept confidence.

​Who Can Join

​Anyone who wants to play. You don’t have to be a spelling bee person, and you definitely don’t need to study beforehand.

​Every player participates in every round, so you’re in the game all night regardless of your score.
