What is this?

What is Winghalla?

A Viking-themed party on Saturday, November 28 at 1:00 PM, the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The main event is a Hot Ones–style hot wing challenge: ten wings, ten sauces, each one hotter than the last. Eat all ten and your name goes up in the Hall of Heroes. Not into spice? Come anyway for the food, the fire, the drinks and the spectacle.

  1. 1

    Show up

    Viking garb strongly encouraged. Furs, horns, braids, war paint. Go big.

  2. 2

    Eat the ten wings

    One at a time, from mild to brutal. Tap each level off on your phone as you go.

  3. 3

    Enter the hall

    Finish all ten and you're crowned an Einherjar of Winghalla on the live board.

When the turkey is gone and the leftovers grow cold, the warriors gather. Few have the stomach. Fewer have the honor.

  • Wings

    Ten levels of heat, from village-fire mild to the flames of Surtr.

  • Mead

    Horns raised. Beer, whiskey, and whatever quenches the fire.

  • Fire

    A cauldron hung from railroad ties over a roaring pit.

  • Glory

    Finish the gauntlet. Your name gets carved into the shield.

The 10 wings

The Path to Glory

Ten trials. Each wing hotter than the last. Tap “I survived” as you conquer each level on the night, and watch your rank rise.

⚔ Practice run. Progress stays on your phone until the gates open on Nov 28, when the live board begins.

The Gates Open

Those who clear all ten join the Einherjar of Winghalla. You earn the finisher's sweatband, a place in the Hall of Heroes, and the right to tell everyone about it forever.

The rules

The Laws of the Hall

  1. I

    The wing must fall

    Each level is complete only when the bone is clean. Nibbling is for squirrels.

  2. II

    March in order

    Level one through level ten. No skipping ahead to look brave.

  3. III

    Mead is permitted

    Drink whatever you like between wings. Milk is permitted too. The shame lasts forever.

  4. IV

    Mind thy hands

    Do not touch your eyes. Valhalla has no eye-wash station.

  5. V

    Yield with honor

    Tap out by striking the shield three times. The hall salutes how far you made it.

  6. VI

    Glory is witnessed

    Finishers are carved into the Hall of Heroes. Witnesses must swear it happened.

The party

The Feast

Not a challenger? Come anyway. The fire is warm, the horns are full, and someone has to cheer while the brave ones fall apart.

  • The CauldronA black iron fire bowl hung by chain from a frame of railroad ties.
  • The Shield WallHand-built shields, made from scrap wood and painted with wings.
  • The HornsBeer, whiskey, and drinks fit for a jarl.
  • The GarbViking dress is strongly encouraged. Furs, horns, braids, war paint all welcome.

From the workshop

The Forge

Every hall needs a shield. Ours started as a pile of scrap boards.

II Bind it with glue and iron

III Raise the shield of Winghalla

“Railroad ties have been procured. It’s only a matter of time till we’re hot wing billionaires.”

William, Procurer of Ties

“You can’t run from your WingHalla destiny.”

William, Seer of Destiny

“Norse font is the one.”
