🐾 SPECIAL TRIAL LOCATION - NATIONAL PET DAY GAME NIGHT April 11, 2026

🐾 NATIONAL PET DAY GAME NIGHT — FETCH SOME FUN & ROLL THE DICE!
📅 Saturday, April 11, 2026
💵 Reminder: To help cover Meet-Up costs, we kindly ask for a $1 contribution per person each Game Night.
✨ First-time visitors are always free, and you can ask about prepaying for multiple months at a discounted rate if you'd like to save a little and support the group long-term.
Come hang out with us for a relaxed evening full of fun, laughter, and board games!
In celebration of National Pet Day, we’re unleashing a fun night of games, laughs, and maybe just a little friendly competition. No pets required (though we know they’d probably beat us at some of these games 🐶🐱).
🤣 Joke of the Day:
Why did the dog sit out of Game Night?
Because he didn’t want to roll over and lose! 😄
We’re continuing to build something special here in the Tampa area. With over a year of Game Nights behind us, it’s been great meeting so many of you and watching the group grow into a welcoming, lighthearted community of gamers and friends.
⭐ SPECIAL NOTE — NEW LOCATION (TRIAL RUN)
For this Game Night, we’re trying out a new location at Red Lobster to see how it works for the group in terms of space, comfort, attendance, and overall experience.
This is a test run, and we’ll decide afterward whether to use it again — so your feedback (and attendance) definitely helps!
📍 LOCATION — Red Lobster
11601 N Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL
(Just a little south of the Glory Days location)
🕔 SCHEDULE
We usually arrive early, but regular dining is planned from about 4:45 PM to around 6:00 PM, or whenever everyone finishes eating.
🎲 Game playing begins after dinner and will continue as long as the group is going strong and we are not told to leave (we’ll adjust based on the location’s setup and timing).
You're welcome to come early, late, or leave whenever you need — it’s totally flexible.
📞 If you do reserve and then cannot make it for any reason, PLEASE change your reservation to “not coming” or call the number listed below and let us know. Thank you!
🎲 ABOUT OUR GAME NIGHTS
We’re not a D&D or heavy strategy group. We stick to fun, easygoing games. Past nights have included:
Uno, Yahtzee, 3Up/3Down, trivia-style games, Sorry, Rummikub, Ticket to Ride, Sequence, Apples to Apples, Exploding Kittens, and so much more!
Feel free to bring a game you love (ideally one that works with 3+ players)!
✅ PLEASE RSVP ON MEET-UP
We need a rough headcount to give the restaurant — so please RSVP, and cancel your RSVP if your plans change.
If you have trouble RSVP’ing — or RSVP and then can’t make it — please update your RSVP and/or call me at 833-548-9998
(NOTE: This number is toll-free and not an 813 number, but also does not accept texts, only voicemail).
⚠️ Seating will depend on the space available at this new location, so please RSVP early.
🍽 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR HOST VENUE
Since this is a new trial location, it’s especially important that we support the restaurant by ordering food and/or drinks — and please don’t forget to tip your server(s).
🧥 Bring a sweater just in case — we’ll get a feel for how this location runs temperature-wise.
💬 As always, we ask everyone to avoid political topics so the vibe stays welcoming and comfortable for all.
💵 Game Night Contribution Reminder
To help cover the $300 yearly cost of running our Meet-Up page, we ask for a small contribution of $1 per person per night.
We’ve had better participation recently — thank you to those who have been contributing!
That said, there are still several who have not, and we do rely on these small contributions to keep the group running.
If you attend regularly, please make sure you’re contributing — or consider the discounted multi-month option.
These contributions directly help keep the group active, bring in new members, and ensure we can continue hosting Game Nights long-term.
✨ First-time visitors are always free.
💬 Want to make things easier and save a bit? Ask about prepaying for multiple months at a discounted rate.
🎉 Looking forward to seeing you at this special trial Game Night at Red Lobster!
