Social Gameshow #1
]Mude[ Cafeteria, R. Garcia de Orta 71c loja 12, Piso Inferior, 1200-678 Lisboa, Lisbon, PT# 🎯 Use[Less] Skills: Social Gameshow
Play like a kid. Compete like it matters.
Lisbon’s most playful social event for expats & locals***
## ❓ Have you ever been in a real gameshow?
Not watched.
Not imagined.
Actually been inside one.
This is your chance.***
## 🎲 What is this?
A real-life social gameshow in Lisbon where:
- Expats & locals come together
- Teams are formed randomly
- You play ridiculous, competitive DIY games
No experience needed.
Just bring energy (or we’ll create it for you).***
## 🌍 Who is this for?
- ✈️ Expats who want to try something different in Lisbon
- 🧠 People tired after a week of work who just want to let go and have fun
- 🎉 Anyone who wants to be playful, social, and a bit ridiculous again
You can come alone or with friends.
Most people do.***
## 🤝 What actually happens?
- 🎲 You get placed in a random team
- 🔥 You compete in fast, chaotic mini-games
- 😂 You laugh way more than expected
- 🏆 You fight for points, medals, and the final win
It’s low-pressure, but surprisingly competitive.
***
## 🧩 The games?
Think:
- Balancing things that shouldn’t be balanced
- Building things that shouldn’t work
- Teamwork that somehow becomes chaos
- Simple rules… unexpectedly hard to win
All DIY. All real. All fun.
***
## ⚡ The vibe
- No phones
- No awkward standing around
- No “what do I say now?” moments
Just play, interaction, and real connection.
***
## 🎟️ How it works
- Come alone or with friends
- Teams are randomly chosen (this is part of the magic)
- We guide everything - you just play
- Winning team gets the glory 🏆
***
## 🎤 Your host
Hey, I’m João.
I created Use[Less] Skills because I got tired of a life that was always about being productive, serious, and “useful”.
The moments I enjoyed the most were the opposite:- playing
- trying random things
- being a bit ridiculous
But I realized something…
I almost never allowed myself to do them.
So I built the kind of event I actually wanted to go to.
Something where:- let go for a few hours
- play like a kid again
- and connect without overthinking
Just playing. Competing. Being a bit ridiculous.
Most people come alone.
By the end, they’re not.
I’ll guide everything, keep the energy high,
and make sure you’re never stuck in an awkward moment.
All you have to do is show up.***
## 📍 The venue
We’ll be at Mude ]Cafeteria[ a cozy, relaxed space in Lisbon.
- ☕ Coffee, drinks & food available for all tastes
- 🥪 You can grab something during the event
- 🪑 Comfortable and social atmosphere
No pressure to consume, but everything’s there if you want it.

## 📍 Details

## 🎯 Final note
You’ve worked all week.
This is your moment to:- be ridiculous
- be competitive
- meet new people
- and actually enjoy your Saturday
“It’s funny how the best things start with
‘I almost didn’t go.’”
