Wait, what even is this?

A tiny social adventure disguised as useless games.

Not a networking event. Not a workshop. Not another night of everyone pretending to be busy on their phone.

πŸ”«

You get pulled in

Maybe alone. Maybe with a friend. Maybe slightly unsure. Perfect.

🀹

You play (badly)

Random teams, strange challenges, fast laughter. The awkward part dies quickly.

πŸ₯‡

You leave with people

Not business cards. Not fake networking. People you actually shared a weird moment with.

Real moments

Proof that adults still know how to play.

People caught mid-chaos.

No script needed

Big laughs

The moment strangers stop performing for each other and start being genuinely ridiculous together.

Randomly assigned

Team chaos

Strangers get sorted into teams and turn into pop-up rivalries within minutes.

Actual medals

Medal energy

Silly stakes, real pride β€” somebody in this photo is taking that medal home.

Solo-friendly

Come alone friendly

They showed up alone. Ten minutes in, they weren’t anymore.

Almost didn't go, but it turned out to be one of the most fun nights in a good while. Will definitely be back! Thank you Joao for all the effort you put into the event and organizing!

An absolute blast! We got split into teams and jumped into a series of wonderfully random challenges 🧩. It’s so easy to get caught up in everyday life, so this was the best kind of reminder of how nourishing it is to embrace 'useless' fun and share laughs with strangers ✨. JoΓ£o is a phenomenal host, super friendly, attentive, and makes everyone feel at home πŸ’›.

The fact that I don't have a photo to share says it all: I had a great time at the gameshow, laughed and learned a lot and the best part was meeting new people. Thanks for creating and holding the space for us JoΓ£o and thanks to all for showing up as yourself! Can’t wait for the next one.

Really unique type of event with games you probably haven’t tried before!! I’d recommend it to anyone who just wants to have fun, experience something a little unexpected, and embrace their inner child 🧸😜

I've attended a few social game shows hosted by JoΓ£o. He is a fun and cheerful host. The games are a lot of fun and imaginative. The games that JoΓ£o creates are unique and designed in such a way that it makes it easy to talk to new people. Everything is lighthearted, with a good balance of chaos thrown in the mix. The playful nature of the [Use]Less Skills rounds is the perfect way to give your inner child the opportunity to explore and play.
