IF THE VIBE IS RIGHT: GAME NIGHT + WINE TASTING + LIVE COMEDY | OAKLAND

This is a social game night for professionals and creatives who want to meet new people in a fun and innovative way. Whatever you are open to: friendship, collaboration, romance, or just a great night out - the format does the work.

Think you've got game? Prove it.

• Meet new people through fast, hosted games, live comedy, a complimentary wine tasting by Coco Noir, and 90s/00s Hip Hop & R&B classics in Oakland.
• Come solo or with friends. Rotate through our 40+ game stations, making it easy to connect with new people naturally.
• Capacity is limited. Once it sells out, there are no tickets at the door.

Oakland gets something Brooklyn did not have. Every ticket includes a complimentary wine tasting curated by Coco Noir, Oakland's premier Black-owned, women-owned wine destination. A red, a white, and a sparkling, plus a non-alcoholic option so everyone is included. Love what you taste? Wine is available by the glass, bottle, or to take home at the end of the night.

This game night is headlined by Jalisa Robinson , Netflix Is a Joke Festival alum, and a favorite at The Punchline San Francisco, Cobb's, and the San Jose Improv. Opener for Hannibal Buress. She calls Oakland home. She is bringing the energy to match. Follow her at @therealjalisa.

Step into an evening designed for good conversation, real competition, and genuine connection. This night is for professional and creative people who want to meet interesting people, appreciate good energy, games, laughter, and an experience that does not feel like everything else.

This is an evening where professionals and creatives come out to play hard, win prizes, and leave with real connections. No awkward small talk. Just pure competition, live comedy, and good music.

HERE'S HOW THE NIGHT WORKS:

STEP 1: CHECK IN AND COMPETE

You check in and get a color-coded name tag.

🟡 Yellow = New friends
🔵 Blue = Collaborators and networking
🔴 Red = Romantic connections

You can wear more than one. No guessing. No pressure.

STEP 2: 40+ GAME STATIONS

The competition begins. 40+ game stations - Pictionary, Giant Jenga, Uno, Connect 4, Speed, War and more. You rotate to new opponents every 10-15 minutes. Winners rack up entries for the grand prize giveaway. Come to play. Come to win.

STEP 3: ENJOY LIVE STANDUP COMEDY

Jalisa Robinson takes the stage. Netflix is a Joke Festival alum. Opened for Hannibal Buress. She brings the laughs. You bring the energy.

STEP 4: WIN NO MATTER WHAT

🏆 GRAND PRIZE GIVEAWAY AT 9PM. The player with the most game station wins takes home the grand prize. Compete all night for your shot. Even if you dont get a prize you still had fun connecting with new people so its a win win.

WHY THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT:

This isn't a bar night. This isn't a networking event where you swap business cards with people you'll never call. This is a structured, competitive, entertaining night where the format does the work and you just show up ready to play.

Most people leave with at least 5 new connections.

The last one sold out. This one will too.
