To celebrate an exciting hockey season ahead, The Maxwell Hotel will host The Great Kraken Giveaway – a series of ten events to encourage sportsmanship, the spirit of the game, and creativity. The Great Kraken Giveaway will take place in the hotel’s signature restaurant, Pineapple Bistro & Bar (PB&B), where guests and diners can participate in a rapid-fire trivia game and/or spirit contest for a chance to win two Seattle Kraken tickets to upcoming home games (all tickets are section 20, row Z, seat 3 & 4). These events are great for avid hockey fans, trivia buffs, and those who feel the need to exercise their competitive side.

Tickets are not needed; interested patrons are encouraged to visit PB&B, register via their mobile device upon arrival, and enjoy. Each trivia event will consist of about two to four games, each lasting between 10 and 15 minutes, giving guests a chance to show off their Kraken knowledge. On spirit nights, visitors are encouraged to showcase their creativity by putting together an artistic ensemble (hockey-themed or not) or dressing up as their favorite hockey player. Whether guests are participating in the trivia games or just swinging by on the spirit nights, they’ll have the chance to enjoy specialty bites and cocktails created by the inventive PB&B team, which includes a rum-based cocktail called The Hat Trick.

The Maxwell Hotel is perfectly situated in Uptown Seattle at the base of Queen Anne Hill, adjacent to Seattle Center and the iconic Space Needle. Just steps away from the Pike Place Market, the Seattle Opera, and the Pacific Northwest Ballet, The Maxwell Hotel is a celebration of the living arts, designed with bright, bold corridors, a large mosaic pineapple in the lobby, commissioned mural paintings, and more. The Great Kraken Giveaway is a lively and creative event intended to celebrate the beloved hockey season and get into the spirit.
