About us
We believe the best way to make friends is to show up regularly to events you genuinely enjoy. That’s why we focus on running a small number of high‑quality, well‑hosted events where you can actually connect with people.
What we do
- We run board game nights and game shows, with more ideas in the pipeline. We only launch new events if they’re genuinely worth your time.
- We keep events small. No being squished into a room with hundreds of strangers—just a friendly, manageable group where you can relax and be yourself.
- We get to know our members. One of the biggest issues with Meetup is meeting someone great and never seeing them again. We build a community where familiar faces return.

About me
I moved to London 10 years ago without knowing anyone. After attending hundreds of Meetup events, I decided to build the kind of community I always wished existed.
As a remote worker, it’s not easy to make friends through colleagues, so creating this group helped me build a social circle. I’ve seen many others do the same.
Thanks for taking an interest in London Games and Socials. If you have any questions, feel free to message me on Instagram.

The Game Show: Taskmaster Style
The Red Lion Hoxton, 41 Hoxton Street, London, N1 6NH, London, GBA night of ridiculous challenges, questionable strategy, and glorious chaos — inspired by the hit TV show Taskmaster.
Whether you’re a die-hard fan of the series or just love the idea of doing something delightfully silly with a room full of strangers, this event is built for maximum fun, zero pressure, and plenty of laughter.
You’ll take on a series of playful, surprising, and occasionally absurd tasks. Some will test your skill, some your creativity, and some your ability to keep a straight face while doing something utterly ridiculous. Every challenge is designed to be accessible, social, and fun — no special skills required.

⭐ What Makes This Event Special ⭐
The Tasks: A mix of original challenges created in the spirit of chaotic, creative game shows — some clever, some silly, some gloriously pointless.
The Vibes: Light-hearted, social, and welcoming. This is not a serious competition; it’s a chance to be playful and enjoy the chaos.
The Hosts: Friendly, encouraging, and just the right amount of mischievous. They’ll guide you through each task and award points with interpretive fairness.
🎯 Who This Event Is For 🎯
Great for anyone who enjoys:
- Creative, silly challenges
- Doing something a bit ridiculous
- Meeting new people in a relaxed, playful setting
You’re welcome to come alone or with friends. This is not a hardcore quiz night or a high-stakes competition. It’s all about fun, not winning.
💷 Price — £5 per person 💷

⭐ What Makes This Event Special ⭐
The Venue: Blighty is cosy, colourful, and just a little bit quirky — like the living room of your eccentric aunt. It’s worlds away from the noise, crowds, and sticky tables of pubs and bars.
The Games: We currently own over 50 games, including favourites like Articulate, Codenames, and Secret Hitler. Every game is hand‑picked for maximum fun and easy learning.
Blood on the Clocktower: We often run Blood on the Clocktower as a special feature of the night. It’s completely optional, always beginner‑friendly, and a brilliant way to meet people through laughter, bluffing, and bold accusations.
The Hosts: They are some of the loveliest people you will ever meet on Meetup. It doesn’t matter if it is your 1st time or 100th time coming to the board game night, they will always make you feel welcome.
Who This Event Is For
This night is perfect for people who are new to board games or just want something light, social, and easy going.
- You don’t need to know any games beforehand.
- You’re welcome to come alone or with a friend - either is completely fine.
This is not a hardcore gaming night. You won’t find Dungeons & Dragons or Magic: The Gathering here.
Price — £5 per person
Your contribution helps us keep the event fresh and fun:
- We buy new games every month to expand and update our collection.
- Any games we no longer need are donated back to the community through regular giveaways.
Please note that tickets are non-refundable and non-transferrable.
