About us
New to Chicago? Welcome to town! Wanna add some fresh excitement to your social life? Perfect! This group is for you. But that's what every group says...How is this one different than all the others? Great question!
Not only do we put together amazing, custom events to help you enjoy our great city, including happy hours, holiday parties, boat trips, comedy nights, and SOOOO much more, but we specialize in running Simply Social coed recreational sports leagues. They are hands down THE BEST way to make new friends in Chicago. Here's why:
Of course one night get togethers are always fun, but do you have enough time to really connect with new people after one night? When playing in our SUPER social, just for fun, coed sports leagues, you get to hang out with the same people for a 5-8 week season, truly getting to know your teammates in a laid back, pressure-free atmosphere. You can join by yourself or with friends and we make teams by age group, half guys, half girls. In our leagues ALL teams walk or take a bus to the same bar after games, where all teams mix and mingle and the social experience kicks into full gear.
So whether you're fresh to Chicago, looking to make some new friends or just want more fun stuff to throw on your social calendar, JOIN US at our events or join a league! You'll be glad you did :)
I can't wait to meet everyone soon!
Cheers,
Ben

*You can purchase tickets for several people and multiple shows this night through the link. No physical tickets will be issued. Your name will be on a list at the door and all tickets will be under the purchaser's name. Groups of up to 6 people can be sat together if arriving together.
Please Note: These shows are for ages 18+ w/ ID. If you show up after start time you will not be able to enter. There is a 2 drink minimum per person per show (non-alcoholic or alcoholic).

Family Feud Trivia League - We'll put you on a team to play! 5 weeks only $35!
The River Kitchen and Bar, 2909 N Sheffield Ave, Chicago, IL, USWe all know Family Feud! The best game show ever, right!? I came up with an amazing way to play bar trivia like the Family Feud game show that anyone can play and be good at! You don't have to know lots of random facts to enjoy or win this trivia. I've done over 25 seasons of this too!
Check out the video I made showing how much fun it is: https://youtu.be/GcAlp9lR_QE
This league is a super fun way to meet new people, have some mid-week drinks and get your think on! It ALWAYS fills up with 140ish people playing, so the RSVP # will not reflect the actual size.
You can register online by yourself or with friends for only $35! We'll then put you on a coed team of 6 thinkers around your age for the season and email you a bunch of info to know for the season. Or sign up your own team of up to 6 people for just $170!

----------------------------
LEAGUE DETAILS:
First Games: Wednesday, September 9th
Final Games: Wednesday, October 7th
Start/End Time: 7:00 - 9:00 pm
Location: The River Kitchen & Bar (2909 N Sheffield Ave)HOW WE PLAY:
Each night there are 2 rounds of 5 questions. The trivia works in reverse of how traditional Family Feud scoring goes. Teams are given the survey question that people were asked and then you have to turn in only one answer. BUT you get the MOST points for guessing the lowest answer on the list (the one that only a couple people said) and LESS points for guessing the popular answers! So it's a battle between making sure your answer is on the on the list of answers given but as far on the bottom of that list as possible. It's THE BEST kind of trivia ever.We give out really awesome prizes too!! NIGHTLY PRIZES FOR THE TOP 8 TEAMS!!! PLUS INCREDIBLE OVERALL LEAGUE PRIZES!!!
----------------------------
League Fees: Only $35 per person for the entire 5-week season or $170 to register a full team of up to 6 people.
