Shark Tank Night

Each guest pitches a business — a genuine startup, a gloriously terrible one, or a product they wish existed. The table asks hard questions and invests monopoly money. Biggest raise takes a ridiculous trophy. Equal parts ambition and roast.

Dinner Party Olympics

Split into teams and compete all night — trivia, blind tasting, charades, a cocktail round, a debate. Track the score on a board everyone can see. The winning team earns a supremely silly title to defend at the next one. The competition is the glue.

Family Feud Dinner

Before the night, survey a wider circle of friends — best first-date spot, worst wedding trend, most overrated luxury purchase. At dinner, the table competes to guess the most popular answers. A little prep, a lot of payoff, and a format everyone already knows the rules to.

Escape Room Dinner

Each course unlocks the next clue. Over the meal the table works a single puzzle — a theft, a mystery, a locked box — solving it course by course. More sophisticated than it sounds, and a great spine for a host who likes to plan. The reveal lands with dessert.

Murder Mystery + Wine

Character cards, secret objectives, and clues dropped between courses — with an assigned wine alongside every piece of evidence.
