(Newswire.net — December 22, 2016) — Let the clash of steel be what rings in your new year. Academie Duello Centre for Swordplay and Mission-Possible are hosting one of this year’s most unique and exciting evenings of dancing, fun activities, canapés, and swordplay.
Arrive and become part of a noble household. You’ll sponsor and equip a mighty warrior and throughout the evening they’ll pit their skills against the warriors of the other houses.
Upon arrival, take a step through the doors in your New Year’s Eve best to behold the beautiful candlelit hall. An attendant will welcome you in and give you a badge of one of six noble houses. You’ll then receive a purse of coins… That’s when the fun begins.
(Doors open at 9pm)
The Tournament – Before midnight strikes the six houses must determine who will rule over the new year–and what better way to do this than with a New Year’s Eve tournament? Each household has a champion who will fight the champions of all the others. How well prepared they are is up to you.
From 9:30 to 11:30 the champion will meet a challenge from each of the others. Spend your coins to help equip each champion or sabotage opponents.
Cheer on the champions, watch amazing sword fights, and toast the victors.
Perhaps make a wager to earn some more coins, or give a donation to Mission-Possible and reap the reward of more riches to skew the odds in your favour.
At 11:45 the two most valiant champions will face one another in the finals of the tournament and the house that wins will ring in the new year victorious. But we’ll all celebrate regardless of who wins.
A Little Swordplay For You – If watching isn’t enough, try your hand with a blade by sabreing a bottle of champagne with a two handed sword or snuffing candles with a rapier.
Experts are on hand to teach the finer points of cut and thrust.
Tease Your Tastebuds – Through the evening, enjoy the tasty canape creations of Chef Kari Chellouf. Vegetarian and gluten free options will be available. Truffles after midnight.
Drinks and Dancing – After midnight we’re opening up the dance floor and DJ Kenneth Valentine will be spinning out fun party songs that will get everyone dancing.
Even those who are not in the dancing mood can enjoy sword fights, cocktails, tasty treats, and great conversation for the whole night.
Silent Auction – The gift giving season doesn’t have to be over. Artisan items, amazing experiences, and enriching moments await you in the silent auction.
Get Your Tickets – Don’t miss a fun, unique, and exciting New Year’s Eve party. Tickets get you all this fun, plus a free drink, and it’s all for two great causes: Academie Duello’s Youth Programs and Mission Possible’s employment programs for those in need in the Downtown East Side.
