Last year SOLD OUT. We’re back at Waka Lounge for a social game night built for meeting new people and jumping between different games
About this Event





Welcome to The Art of Games: Open Play.

Last year at Chelmsford sold out, and for a simple reason: it’s not the typical “sit at one table all night” setup. It’s open play—you move around, try different games, and meet new people naturally.

If you missed the last one, this is the reset.


What you’re paying for
  • A fast icebreaker so it’s easy to meet people
  • Multiple game tables you can switch between anytime
  • A social layout that’s solo-friendly
  • Optional karaoke showdown to close the night
  • Prizes to be won

How the night runs

1) Icebreaker (quick + fun)
Everyone gets involved fast—no awkward standing around.

2) Open Play Mode
Pick a table, play a game, earn points as you win, switch whenever you want. Stay with your friends or join new people.

3) Optional Karaoke Finale
A light, fun close to the night.


Games you might find
