Our Strange Icebreaker Cards will spark conversations with funny, unusual, and thought-provoking prompts—perfect for breaking the ice and discovering someone’s strange side. Think beyond “What’s your favorite color?”—we’re talking stories, weird facts, and hilarious hypotheticals that get you genuinely talking.

While mingling, enjoy Strangeways’ beer and other drinks on tap, soak in the relaxed vibe, and maybe even find someone who shares your sense of humor—or your love of the delightfully strange.

Come ready to laugh, chat, and explore connections you won’t forget. Who knows—you might just find your kind of strange!
