IRL Dating & Friends Mixer: Dabba Dash Game Night (Free!)

​Put down the dating apps, skip the awkward small talk, and actually meet people IRL.

​Whether you’re looking for a spark, new NYC friends, or just a fun break from Asian Tech Week panels, pull up a chair for a laid-back evening of drinks, mingling, and cooperative board gaming.

​What is Dabba Dash? Inspired by Mumbai’s legendary dabbawallas (lunchbox couriers), Dabba Dash is a light-strategy cooperative board game for 2–4 players. Instead of competing against each other, you and your table have to work together - playing cards to build routes and deliver hot lunches across Mumbai before the clock runs out.

Expect an evening filled with collaborative fun with other like minded folks.

​✨ How the Night Works:

• ​6:00 PM - 6:15 PM: Grab a drink at the bar, mingle, and meet fellow guests.

• ​6:15 PM - 7:00 PM: Round 1 - Jump into a 2-4 player table (5-minute quick-start rules taught by the game's creator!).

• ​7:00 PM - 7:45 PM: Round 2 - Mix tables, grab another round, and play Round 2 with a fresh crew. Maybe you're brave enough to test the game's advanced mode.

​📍 Where: The Tiny Cupboard board in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

​🎟️ Cost: 100% Free to attend and play. We just ask you support the venue by grabbing a drink or snack at the bar.

​Spots are capped, so RSVP early!
