About this event
Some of the best conversations happen when people have a real problem to solve together. This event takes that instinct and turns it into a social, hands-on game experience with Loumee: part meetup, part collaborative challenge, and part fresh way to meet people without the usual small-talk fatigue. If you like events that give you something to do, not just somewhere to stand, this is built for you. About the Event Solving Problems with Problem-Solving: Play a game with Loumee is an in-person meetup designed around interaction. Instead of a passive talk or an open-ended networking session, the event centers on playing a game with Loumee that invites people to think, respond, collaborate, and connect through action. The idea is simple: problem-solving is more fun when it is shared. A game format creates an easy way to meet new people, compare how different minds work, and discover how quickly a room can warm up when everyone is focused on a common challenge. Because the event sits at the intersection of community, networking, meetup, and social gathering, you can expect a setting that feels structured enough to make participation easy while still leaving room for natural conversation. You do not need to arrive knowing anyone, and you do not need to think of yourself as “good at games” to take part. Whether you come for the social energy, the curiosity of trying something new, or the chance to sharpen how you think with others, the format is designed to make participation feel approachable from the start. What to Expect Expect an evening with a clear activity at its center. Rather than drifting between introductions, attendees will gather around the shared experience of playing a problem-solving game with Loumee, which gives everyone an immediate point of focus and a reason to engage. A likely rhythm for the event will feel something like this: Arrival and settling in with time to get oriented in the space A quick introduction to the session so everyone understands the format Gameplay and collaborative problem-solving as the core experience Conversation before, during, or after the game as people reflect, compare approaches, and continue meeting one another What makes this format especially strong is that it lowers the pressure that often comes with social and networking events. You are not expected to carry every interaction from scratch. The game does some of that work for you by creating shared context, prompting discussion, and making it easier to contribute naturally. You can also expect a mix of personalities and approaches in the room. Some people will dive into strategy quickly, others will observe and then jump in, and some will be there mainly for the social side. That variety is part of the value: seeing how different people frame questions, make decisions, and respond under playful constraints can be surprisingly revealing. Why Attend This event offers a useful alternative to standard meetups. If you enjoy meeting thoughtful people but dislike empty networking rituals, a game-based format gives you a more grounded way to connect. You get a real activity, a reason to participate, and conversations that start from something more interesting than “So, what do you do?” There is also genuine value in practicing problem-solving in a social setting. Even in a playful context, you notice how you listen, how you contribute ideas, how you handle ambiguity, and how you work with others when there is a shared objective. Those are skills that carry well beyond the event itself. You might leave with: New connections formed through doing, not just introducing yourself A memorable shared experience that makes conversations stick Fresh perspective from seeing how other people approach challenges A more relaxed entry point into community if typical meetups feel awkward or unstructured A fun mental workout that is social without being superficial Most importantly, this event gives you permission to be engaged from the moment you arrive. You do not need a perfect opener or a carefully planned networking goal. Showing up curious is enough. Practical Details This is an in-person event taking place on Thursday, October 26 at 5:00 PM GMT+2. The in-person setting matters: the game and the social experience both work best when people are sharing the room, responding in real time, and building momentum together. If you are deciding whether this fits your evening, think of it as a meetup with a built-in purpose. It is well suited to anyone who wants an after-work social plan that feels active and engaging rather than passive. A few useful things to keep in mind: Come ready to participate. You do not need special expertise, but a willingness to jump in will make the experience better. You can come solo. The format is naturally social and gives you an easy way into conversation. Curiosity matters more than experience. You do not need to know Loumee in advance to enjoy the event. Plan to arrive on time if you can. Starting with the group will help you settle into the game and meet people more easily. If you want a meetup that combines thinking, play, and genuine interaction, this event makes a strong case for spending your Thursday evening here.
