With Ontario in partial lockdown, we’re all spending a lot more time inside. Our favourite bars and restaurants are closed for indoor dining, and many people are (understandably) erring on the side of caution when it comes to gathering and group activities.<\/p>\n

Though these restrictions are to help keep us safe, they do put a strain on local businesses we love. But the good news is many businesses have adapted and now offer virtual events and services so you can still enjoy and support local from home!<\/p>\n

Here are some great virtual events in Ottawa that you should check out.<\/p>\n

Virtual trivia night<\/h2>\n

Missing weekly trivia night at your favourite local hang-out? Outside the Box Triva<\/a> aims to bring that experience to your living room on Tuesdays and Saturdays. You and your team reserve a virtual table to compete with other teams from around Ottawa in real-time.<\/p>\n

Each game consists of six rounds of secret theme trivia. Each round will have unrelated questions, but all the answers share a secret theme. Crack the theme to help get all the answers! Cost to participate is pay what you can. Check out their website<\/a> for more information and to sign up your team.<\/p>\n

Spooky virtual campfires<\/h2>\n

Spooky stories aren't just for Halloween! The Haunted Walk<\/a> offers a variety of interactive virtual campfire events all year round. Grab a hot chocolate, cozy up with a warm blanket and listen to an incredible line-up of the best spooky storytellers! The events are pre-recorded, so you can get spooked at your convenience.<\/p>\n

Subjects include “London’s most haunted<\/a>,” Salem, Massachusetts<\/a>,” “Haunted Vancouver<\/a>” and more! Check out their website for their full list of virtual experiences!<\/p>\n
