If The Vibe Is Right: Game Night + Wine Tasting + Live Comedy | Oakland

We're bringing the most competitive social game night from Brooklyn to Oakland - and this one comes with something New York didn't have. Every ticket includes a complimentary wine tasting curated by Coco Noir, Oakland's premier Black-owned women-owned wine destination.

This is an evening where professionals and creatives come out to play hard, win prizes, and leave with real connections. No awkward small talk. Just pure competition, live comedy, and good music.

Games. Live comedy. Hip Hop & R&B. Good wine. Real connections.

Oakland, the vibe is right. 🎲🍷

WHAT'S INCLUDED WITH EVERY TICKET:

COMPLIMENTARY WINE TASTING BY COCO NOIR - Every ticket includes a complimentary wine tasting featuring three wines: a red, a white, and a sparkling - curated by Coco Noir Wine Shop, Oakland's premier Black-owned, women-owned wine destination. A non-alcoholic option is available so everyone can participate and feel included.

Love what you taste? Wine is available by the glass or bottle throughout the evening or grab a bottle to take home at the end of the night.

LIVE STANDUP COMEDY BY JALISA ROBINSON - Bay Area comedian Jalisa Robinson brings her sometimes-deadpan, sometimes-sparkling style to everything from race to the patriarchy. A Netflix Is a Joke Festival alum, she has opened for Hannibal Burress and is a favorite at The Punchline San Francisco, Cobb's, and the San Jose Improv. She calls Oakland home and she's bringing the energy to match. Follow her at @therealjalisa

HERE'S HOW THE NIGHT WORKS:

STEP 1: CHECK IN AND COMPETE

You check in and get a color-coded name tag.

🟡 Yellow = New friends
🔵 Blue = Collaborators and networking
🔴 Red = Romantic connections

You can wear more than one. No guessing. No pressure.

STEP 2: 40+ GAME STATIONS

The competition begins. 40+ game stations - Pictionary, Giant Jenga, Uno, Connect 4, Speed, War and more. You rotate to new opponents every 10-15 minutes. Winners rack up entries for the grand prize giveaway. Come to play. Come to win.

STEP 3: ENJOY LIVE STANDUP COMEDY

Jalisa Robinson takes the stage. Bay Area comedian. Netflix is a Joke Festival alum. Opened for Hannibal Buress. She brings the laughs. You bring the energy.

STEP 4: CONNECT

📱 OPTIONAL MATCHING TECHNOLOGY: Since this event can be fast paced we've made it easy for you to connect with other attendees. If someone caught your attention during the night - competitor, collaborator, or something more - tap your phone . If it's mutual we send you both an intro.

STEP 5: WIN NO MATTER WHAT

🏆 GRAND PRIZE GIVEAWAY AT 9PM. The player with the most game station wins takes home the grand prize. Compete all night for your shot. Even if you dont get a prize you still had fun connecting with new people so its a win win.

WHY THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT:

This isn't a bar night. This isn't a networking event where you swap business cards with people you'll never call. This is a structured, competitive, entertaining night where the format does the work and you just show up ready to play.

Most people leave with at least 5 new connections.

The last one sold out. This one will too.
