Four Ways to Spend Your Evening
Whether you want strategy, mystery, puzzles, or competition — there’s something for you.
Mafia Games
Social deduction at its best. Hidden roles, bluffing, discussion. Games last 20-40 minutes and you’ll play multiple rounds in an evening.
Escape Rooms
60 minutes to solve puzzles, find clues, and escape. Teams of 4-6 work together. You don’t need to be clever — you just need to try.
Murder Mysteries
Dinner plus a mystery to solve. You’re given a character, clues appear throughout the meal, and everyone tries to figure out who did it.
Real Feedback From Real Players
“Wasn’t sure about showing up to a mafia game with strangers. But honestly, that first Thursday night was brilliant. I’ve been back every week since and I’ve made actual friends.”
“The escape room was harder than I thought but that’s what made it fun. Our group got stuck on one puzzle for ages and then it just clicked. We didn’t escape in time but we’re already booked for next month.”
“I’ve done the murder mystery dinner twice now. It’s not about being a great actor — they literally give you lines. You get a proper meal, a fun story to play along with, and you’re laughing the whole time.”
“Quiz nights are my thing. I don’t know why but I’m actually good at remembering obscure film facts. The team atmosphere is what gets me though — doesn’t matter if we win or lose, the banter is top class.”
Why This Matters
We started because we noticed something: adults 40-60 wanted to get out, meet people, and have actual fun. Not forced networking. Not sitting at home. Real social time with real games.
Game clubs work because they’re low-pressure. Nobody’s judging you for not knowing mafia strategy or being bad at escape rooms. You’re there to play, laugh, and spend an evening with people who get it.
We’ve helped over 2,500 people find their game night community across Ireland. Whether you’re in Dublin, Cork, Galway, or somewhere in between — there’s a club and a game night waiting for you.

Things People Ask
We’ve heard these before. Here’s the straight answer.
Do I need to know how to play beforehand?
Absolutely not. Most clubs expect first-timers and have someone who’ll explain the rules. You’ll pick it up in the first 10 minutes. Honestly.
What if I’m the only person I know going?
That’s the whole point. You’ll be with 8-15 other people, all there for the same reason. By the end of the night you’ll have chat with most of them.
How much does it cost?
Depends on the game. Mafia nights at a pub? Usually free or you just buy a drink. Escape rooms are typically 20-30 per person split with your team. Murder mysteries range 40-60 including dinner. Contact specific clubs for exact pricing.
When do game nights happen?
Varies by club. Most run weekly or fortnightly. Mafia games are often Thursday/Friday evenings. Escape rooms book on weekends mostly. Murder mysteries are usually Friday/Saturday. Check your local club schedule.
Is it only for competitive people?
No way. People show up because they want a fun evening with others. Winning’s nice but honestly? The whole point is the time together and the laughs.
What if I’m not very good at games?
Even better. Teams need all types. Bad at strategy? Great at reading people. Can’t solve puzzles? You’re the person who keeps morale up. You’re exactly who escape rooms need.
