Social Networking

**We don’t do boring Wednesdays and so on 25th February - we're back with another edition of midweek social fun, exclusively for 20s and 30s.** And for this latest activity night, we'll be visiting one of London’s most unique experiences… **Clays in Canary Wharf.** And as always - the evening will start with some social drinks at a nearby pub, so you can meet and connect with your fellow 20s and 30s, before heading over for the main event of the night. And if you’ve never heard of Clays before - it’s an immersive activity bar inspired by the sport of clay pigeon shooting, reimagined into a fun, social experience. The venue features a number of private booths, each with their own set of realistic “rifles” and tracking technology - designed to simulate a realistic clay shooting experience. And we'll be enjoying **90 minutes of fast-paced shooting action**, competing against each other in their range of multiplayer games - each designed to test your accuracy, speed and strategy. Your scores will be tracked over the course of the evening and we will be competing for the glory of being the greatest sharp shooters of the group. It truly is one of the enjoyable and one of the **best value activity bars in London at just £10pp** \- and so well worth giving a go\, if you've never been before\! Unfortunately these places are very limited and will be offered on a first come, first serve basis. So if you are keen to join, please do RSVP as soon as you can! \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- **WHERE/WHEN** We will be meeting at the venue for 7:15pm for social drinks ahead of the beginning of the experience. We'd kindly ask you **arrive no later than 7:40pm**, so we can head over together in time for the start of the experience.

**The chase is on again... as on Friday 27th February, we'll be heading into Central London for our latest "Prison Breakout" Pub Crawl Hunt.** For those who've not been to one of our events powered by the **[Chicken Rush app](https://chickenru.sh/)** \- this event can best be described as a fun hybrid of a pub crawl\, a scavenger hunt and a giant game of hide and seek\. The aim of the game is very simple: you’ll have just under two hours to **find an** **escaped prisoner, hiding in a top secret pub in London.** With the help of a circle around the prisoner's approximate location, that shrinks every 2 minutes - you’ll need to race in teams and go pub to pub to hunt the prisoner down. The first three teams to successfully find the prisoner earning a lion share of the points available. **But there's a couple of plot twists!** If you enter a pub that doesn't house the escaped prisoner - at least two members of your team will have to buy a drink! And this is not just a simple race to find the prisoner - as we've also prepared a series of fun tasks and challenges that you can complete on the way to earn additional points. **The team with the most points by the end of time will be crowned the winners.** It's always great fun and widely considered one of the best events we’ve done and so do join us if you weren’t able to last time. \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- **WHERE/WHEN** Meet Point - Outside Caffè Tropea, Russell Sq, London WC1B 5EH ([https://share.google/o8qifWhkbztMOUQl6](https://share.google/o8qifWhkbztMOUQl6)) Closest Tube station: Russell Square (3 min walk), Goodge Street (10 min walk), Holborn (10 min walk) Start Time - 7:30pm Finish time: 11:00pm **\- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \-** **JOIN THE COMMUNITY** Set up in November 2021, the project was set up to help 20s and 30s in London meet, connect and hopefully build life-long friendships.

Come ready to play. We’re turning dinner into a full-on game night. Card games, competitive chaos, and yes, those long strategic nerd games my friends love to play. We’ll also have Jackbox games on the big screen so everyone can jump in and talk a little trash. There will be pizza. There will be drinks. There will be snacks. There will absolutely be laughter. Pull up, grab a slice, pick a game, and let’s make it a night. \* This will be at someone's house so address will be given night before the event.
