Did we mention there are PRIZES?! 👀🎉
Hidden among Saturday night’s glow-in-the-dark Buddies will be a limited number of GOLD RECORDS.
Find a Gold Record and you’ve won a prize! 🏆
Bring your Gold Record back to the Andover Town Tavern, turn it in, and choose a sealed prize envelope to find out what you won.
We have some seriously awesome prizes donated by local businesses and supporters, and we’ll be showing those off throughout the week.
Every Gold Record has the same chance at every prize — so you won’t know what you’ve won until you pick your envelope.

Saturday, September 19th
Adult Only Retro Glow Hunt
Countdown at 9:00 PM

Find the glow. Find the gold. Win a prize. 🎶✨

SATURDAY’S GONNA SLAY. 🔪😈
Nothing brings generations together quite like the characters responsible for our emotional trauma. 😂
Did Freddy make you afraid to fall asleep?
Does “I want to play a game” still make you immediately want to decline the invitation?
Can you still hear Vincent Price’s creepy laugh in your head and admit that Thriller is still a thriller?
Did Chucky permanently change the way you looked at dolls?
Were you ever just a little traumatized by the Crypt Keeper?
Did Ghostface permanently ruin the question, “What’s your favorite scary movie?”
And did we learn right along with Clarice that sometimes the scariest monsters are the real ones?
Apparently our Retro Glow Hunt has a dark side. 😏
Some of the horror icons we grew up with are joining us Saturday night…
And yes — they glow. 👀

COWABUNGA! 🐢💥
Saturday mornings just hit different.
A giant bowl of cereal. Cartoons on TV. Absolutely nowhere you needed to be. And really, the only serious argument was which Ninja Turtle was the best.
Obviously, it was Donatello. I said what I said. 😂
Whether you were learning to count with Cookie Monster, trying to keep Gargamel away from the Smurfs, wishing the Care Bears were real, or watching Angelica prove she was the original mean girl while secretly rooting for Reptar… we had the BEST cartoons.
And it wasn’t just Saturday mornings. Sometimes our adventures took us deep into the sewers… and sometimes movie night sent us straight through a Labyrinth. 👀
These are just a few more of the retro favorites headed into the glow for our ADULT ONLY Retro Glow Hunt — September 19th!
Because apparently growing up just means we’re old enough to stay out late, hunt glowing toys in the dark, and argue about Ninja Turtles all over again. 😂
Who was YOUR Saturday-morning favorite?

Somebody was definitely snacking after midnight. 😂

We’ve got everyone’s favorite tales, the shows we all grew up with, the games we spent way too many hours playing… and obviously the most important debate of the era:

Tropical Punch Kool-Aid was the best. I will die on that hill.

The Adult Only Retro Glow Hunt is getting more ridiculous by the day, and I am absolutely here for it. 💗📺🎮✨

📼 Be kind. Rewind. And while you’re at it… who you gonna call? Or are you just trying to phone home? Because either way, we know you were doing it on a flip phone. 😂

Anybody else traumatized by a Furby that suddenly came to life at 3 a.m. from the back of your closet? Remember when MTV actually played music, and staying home sick from school meant a date with The Price Is Right? We love Drew Carey, but Bob Barker was THE man.

We’re still printing, and we’re going to keep bringing back your memories right up until hunt night.

And in case you’re wondering… we DEFINITELY take requests. 👀

What should we print next?

For the next week, the big focus is our Adult Retro Glow Hunt… but apparently somebody has already decided what I’ll be working on after that. 😂
An incredibly generous supporter sent over 27+ pounds of filament from our wish list — which feels a lot like a subtle little hint saying:
“Maybe one more time… for the kids.” 🐸💚
I’m sure you can imagine how much time, filament, and behind-the-scenes work goes into creating these hunts, so every single wish-list donation truly helps. And I can promise you this: every last inch of that filament goes right back into creating something fun for our community.
To whoever sent this mountain of color our way — thank you. Truly. Freddie may not be done just yet. 💚

Well, well, well… Millennials are currently in the lead. 👀Gen X, Boomers & Gen Z — you just gonna let that happen? 😂

👀 SNEAK PEEK!
Here are just a few of the retro buddies you’ll be hunting for September 19!
We’ve got 6 printers running and we’re on pace to have well over 1,000 buddies to hide — and we’re not stopping. We’ve still got 9 days to print, and we’re bringing back all the retro favorites we can until we run out of time or run out of filament. 😂
So tell us — what are YOU hoping to find? What retro buddy absolutely needs to make the hunt?
Oh... and did we mention THEY GLOW? 👀✨
