My group of 7 friends try to get together every month to catch up and eat/drink/share stories. This month we tried something new- enter Game Night Out. It's conveniently located in Century City mall (easy street parking) and is BYOB. They had plenty of fridge space, counter space for snack (if you bring any) and all the accessories (glasses, ice, openers, etc). The space is set up perfectly. It's a cozy area made to look like your living room. Our hostesses were entertaining and friendly- and got your competitive juices flowing! We were split into teams and did a series of 7 different games. The games were fun and easy to follow and really got us to think, participate and laugh. I can't recommend this enough. Whether it's team building, corporate, family, friends or a birthday party- there's plenty for everyone. Also, let me note how easy it was to book- just click a few buttons online and pay. Done. That's it. Lots of fun and very little work to plan, book or set up. Great night out!!
