The Mingle Games: Comedy Game Night + Cocktails | Brooklyn Distillery

If the mingle is right, the possibilities are endless...

The Mingle Games are back, and this round comedian Dilan Hettiarachchi is running the floor.

• A social game night for the 30+ crowd. Meet new people through fast, hosted games.
• Come solo or bring friends. Either way, you'll rotate through game stations, and meet new people all night.
• Dumplings, craft cocktails, and beer available for purchase from JAYWALKER, New York Distilling Co.'s own bar.
• Capacity is limited; once it is full, there are no tickets at the door.

The Mingle Games is NYC's most competitive social night where professionals and creatives come to play hard, win prizes, and leave with real connections. No awkward small talk. Just pure competition, craft cocktails, and good music.

From the team behind Brooklyn's sold-out social game nights. Capacity is limited and there are no tickets at the door.

(*Note: comedian/hosts may change)

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: GAME STATIONS

The competition begins. 30+ game stations - Pictionary, Jenga, Uno, Connect 4, Speed, War and more. You rotate to new opponents every 10-20 minutes. Winners rack up entries for the grand prize giveaway. Come to play. Come to win.

STEP 3: SIP AND RESET

Between rounds, the floor opens up. Grab a craft cocktail from JAYWALKER, New York Distilling Co.'s own bar, keep a free play game going, and talk your talk. Good music all night.

STEP 4: CONNECT

TAP TO CONNECT: Since this event moves fast, we've made it easy to stay in touch. If someone caught your attention during the night, competitor, collaborator, or something more, tap your phone. If it's mutual, we send you both an intro.

STEP 5: 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.
