Ever wondered how humanity would respond to an asteroid heading for Earth? Or how the world might react to first contact with aliens?
Welcome to The Thought Experiment — a new kind of meetup where we explore big “What if…?” scenarios in a fun but thoughtful way. Each session, we’ll pick one scenario (from global crises to wild sci-fi situations) and work together to imagine solutions, strategies, and possibilities.

This is for curious minds of all kinds — students, professionals, creatives, or anyone who enjoys thinking differently. Some people might bring research, others just bring imagination. Either way, we’ll brainstorm together and see where the discussion takes us.

We ask everyone to Buy a drink at the venue

Format:

  • Quick intro to the scenario
  • Small-group discussions
  • Share back with the group
  • Wrap up + (optional) post-discussion drinks

We’ll introduce the format, get to know each other, and jump into a scenario together.

## Thought Experiment: The Containment Breach — Halloween Special (25th of October)

☣️ It began in a private research facility.
A corporation working on a cure for everything — disease, aging… even death.
But something went wrong.
Something escaped.

Now, the infection is spreading.
Those exposed don’t die — they change.
Cities are falling silent.
Governments are denying everything.

You are one of the last survivor groups — trapped between truth, fear, and the impossible.

Will you hide the truth, fight the infected, or risk everything to find a cure?
