Play Your Way In

The Easiest Way to Meet New People

Not everyone loves walking up to strangers at a bar. Game night takes the pressure off. You're not "networking" or "on a date"; you're challenging someone to ping pong, and the conversation follows naturally.

Our "Game Night Getaway" at Sourmouse is a favorite: complimentary billiards and ping pong that would usually cost $25 to $40 an hour per table, a private happy hour just for our group, and a live DJ later in the evening.

Singles and socialites welcome

Game nights are open to singles and anyone looking to grow their circle. Some nights put a playful spin on dating too, like our "Dating Games" and "Date & Play" speed dating formats.
