Mysterious murders, complex logic, good company and twisted lies. Join us for a game of Blood on the Clocktower 🗡️

Blood on the Clocktower is a game for 5–15 players where everyone gets a secret role and tries to uncover who is playing for the evil team.

Social Pub Crawl
**[Early Bird Discount](www.eventbrite.com/e/1987332467909/?discount=Meetup)**
### ✨ What Is the Social Pub Crawl?
A relaxed and social pub crawl designed to help people connect naturally while enjoying a night out in Dublin.
This is **not a massive party crawl** and not a tourist tour.
It’s a friendly, international experience where drinks, short social games and good conversations come together in an easy and natural way.
Whether you come alone or with friends, you’ll quickly feel part of the group.
### 🍻 How It Works
We’ll visit several pubs in the city centre, staying around **30–40 minutes in each one**.
At every stop, the organizer will run a **short and simple social activity**.
These games are designed to:
* Break the ice naturally
* Help people interact without pressure
* Work well in busy, noisy pubs
Between activities, there’s plenty of time to chat, grab a drink and enjoy the atmosphere.
🏆 In each activity, points are awarded to several participants.
At the end of the night, **the 3 people with the most points win a free drink**.
### 🍀 Who Is This Event For?
Absolutely everyone.
New in Dublin, long-time residents, expats, locals, shy people, outgoing people — all are welcome.
You don’t need to drink alcohol, be loud, or be “good at games”.
The only requirement is being open to meeting new people in a relaxed way.
### 💬 A Friendly & Comfortable Atmosphere
Our events are known for being inclusive, respectful and easy-going.
Come alone or with friends — you’ll feel comfortable from the very beginning.
To keep the experience social and personal, **spots are limited**.
### 🕕 Practical Details
• **Time:** 19:00 – 22:30
• **Group size:** Limited
• **Location:** In front of the Odeon! (next to the Iveagh Gardens)

Sunday boardgame meetup
Our free-of-charge meet-up in the Black Sheep Pub on Capel Street.
This is a casual meet up for people who want to play boardgames. Lots of people bring plenty of games and rules will always be explained so don't worry if you're new to the hobby and you don't have anything to bring along or think you won't know how to play.
The meet-up runs for the whole day but late comers always welcome, you just may have to wait a little for a game to open up but games will be starting and ending throughout the day.
**IMPORTANT!**
**The meet up is free of charge but we do ask that people support the bar by buying food and/or drink. The bar is very accommodating to us and it's important that we support them in return. Bringing in outside food or drink is completely unacceptable.**
Check out the comments below where people will say what games they are bringing and express your interest in joining if interested.
Any questions contact either of the organisers Gavin or Stephen.
Let’s play… Monster of the Week / The Quiet Year
Join us every Sunday and tell a story as a group by playing a beginner-friendly roleplaying game. Every week we have 2-3 different games - you will choose which game you play on the day. All materials provided and rules are explained at the start of each game, you just need to bring your imagination.
🎭 **This week's facilitators:**
* 🧛**Antonia** with *[Monster of the Week](https://evilhat.com/product/monster-of-the-week/)*. You are part of a ragtag group of hunters who investigate the strange, the supernatural, and the terrifying. Think *Buffy*, *Supernatural*, or *The X-Files*. Ordinary people (or mostly ordinary) who know that the darkness is real, that every fairytale and folk story contains some truth. As a hunter, you've decided to do something about it. This week, your group hears of a series of murders happening in Allberg. Four bodies in six weeks. All lost more blood than their wounds suggest. In addition, weird symbols have been found around each victim. Can you find the culprit and prevent further tragedy?
* 🏘️ **Adam** with *[The Quiet Year](https://buriedwithoutceremony.itch.io/the-quiet-year)*, a GM-less, map-making game. You define the struggles of a community living after the collapse of civilisation, and attempt to build something good within their quiet year. Every decision and every action is set against a backdrop of dwindling time and rising concern. The game is played using a deck of cards – each of the 52 cards corresponds to a week during the quiet year. Each card triggers certain events – bringing bad news, good omens, project delays and sudden changes in luck. At the end of the quiet year, the Frost Shepherds will come, ending the game.

Let's dance! Bal Folk Dublin at Grangegorman Park
Hello, hello! We won't be at The Cobblestone this Sunday.
We are planning to dance **outdoors in Grangegorman from 4 to 6 if the weather is nice**!
It seems good so far and we will confirm on Saturday 🙂
Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/j1u2BtwzPCAjFGL38
Learn folk dances from many countries, meet people from all over the world and enjoy some live music at the end of the session! 🪕🎻🪗
Beginners and two-left feet people are welcome! You won’t be left on your own to figure out the steps as we will provide guidance and instructions. 🙂
**We usualy have around 20+ regular dancers**, so don't be afraid about low engagement here on meetup, and we also have 1 to 4 teachers every session!
Entry is free but donations [**suggested €5, cash only**] are welcome to help develop the group and support the organization of special events with professional dancers and musicians. 🥳
Don’t hesitate to give it a try, new people join us all the time and the group is very welcoming. Just come as you are! 😊
See you there!
BullIsland Beach Volleyball :)
Hi all, lets meet at 12h to play Beach Volleyball in BullIsland, near the car park on the "Statue of Our Lady, Star Of The Sea" side of BullIsland. From Clontarf Rd cross over "The Wooden Bridge" and keep going on until the end, turn left when you see the beach car park and keep going to the left. We will set the nets beside the car park 😉 Please avoid to park at the beach because the car can get stuck on the sand. If you come by car park as soon as you find space and then walk.
The idea is to have lunch at the beach and play beach volleyball. Please bring water, sun glasses (for the sand more than the sun) and sun cream (even when it's cloudy you can still get burned with the wind).
I would love to create another lovely healthy group to have fun with and enjoy the weather whenever it's possible. All levels are welcome because the goal is to have fun and do some exercise.
Any questions please contact me over the phone: 0876819433, or put a comment on this Meetup. Please bear in mind that on the same day of the event it'll be driving so give me a phone call if you are lost.
Day of Arts - workshops & artistic presentations
Art has long been a means to express and perceive universal values of beauty and harmony by finding an expression to unite opposites, like light and darkness, sounds and silences or movement and stillness. And the artist, like the philosopher, finds a way to make the invisible visible or perceivable, whether in paintings, sculptures, music, dance, poetry and so much more.
Join us for an afternoon in the search for Wisdom through Philosophy & Art.
**2pm Introduction ‘The Muses’ (Free)**
Introduction to the day, with a short talk on the ‘The Muses’, inspiring poetry and dramatic readings.
**Ongoing workshop – “Making a shared mosaic” (Free)**
From all the individual pieces of tiles there emerges a beautiful unity, each piece is different and contributes to the collective. This is one of the key principles in Mosaic art. Learn more about this and the fundamentals of creating mosaics and how to create simple designs using colourful tiles.
***All are welcome! No experience necessary for any of the activities.***
There are also 2 other workshops running on the day, please click the links below to find out more.
**From 2.30pm - Bodypercussions & Vocals (€7, 1.5 hours)**

**From 3pm - Making your own sistrum (€5, 30 mins)**

Board games at The Forge (theme night: unplayed games)
This week is national unplayed games week, so we encourage you to break out those shrink-wrapped games you bought on a whim but haven't had a chance to try yet. Do your best to learn the game ahead of time to facilitate the process! let's get those dusty ones to the table!
The Forge does have a full bar and kitchen. There is no cover charge but they do request all attendees to purchase a minimum of ~20 per person. Soft drink refills are 1 each. Please support our hosts so we can continue to provide great events for the group!
The Forge has a large library of games available for us to enjoy. Hosts and regulars will also provide numerous popular games but please bring any games you would like to teach and/or play.
Doors open at 6, and we expect gaming to be rolling by around 630. Please promptly end your games and clear out the space at 10pm when the bar closes.
We encourage socializing but do not permit disruptive behavior of any kind. Thank you for your continued commitment to providing a fun and welcoming space to veteran, newbie, and rookie gamers in the Columbus area.
Parking can sometimes fill esrly. There is additional parking lot behind the neighboring Mexican restaurant that is free and easy to walk from but it's a bit hidden.
