Experience the dark underside of Providence like you’ve never seen it before.

A menacing energy is growing in the city and it’s up to you and your team to stop it…or to welcome the monsters in! Inspired by the arcane writing of H.P. Lovecraft, this bike-based quest around the city of Providence will require you and your teammates to solve puzzles, fight (or help) monsters, and ultimately, to save the city from annihilation. Or if you’re feeling evil, you can open the portal to the tentacled horrors yourselves. The odyssey will take you around the City of Providence to a variety of mysterious sites.

Expect surprises, twists, and turns at every corner. This is the fourth installment of Tour de Tentacle, and we promise a new experience for anyone returning to ride again!

A collaboration between the Lovecraft Arts & Sciences Council and Confluence Placemaking, this event on Sunday, October 28th begins at The Arcade at 2:00pm and culminates at the same place at dusk for a dark cosmic reckoning. There will be tentacles. There will be bikes (bring your own, plus helmet). And there will be beer (at the end).

* Tickets include ONE FREE DRINK at the afterparty, which is free and open to the public!

** For those who do not own a bicycle, DASH Bicycle Shop in Providence is offering half-off their rental fee (normally $35 -- just $17.50 for Tour de Tentacle riders).

*** Recycle-A-Bike will be on-site for any needed repairs.
