The Social Experiment
Twenty strangers. A series of decisions. No right answers.
Part theatre, part psychology game. Trust, negotiation, and the slow discovery of what you're actually like when there's something at stake.

Twenty people who have never met. A sequence of challenges built around trust, communication and choosing.
Early rounds are light. You'll negotiate, you'll form alliances, you'll be asked to vouch for someone you met eleven minutes ago. Later rounds put those alliances under pressure in ways we won't spoil.
Nobody is humiliated and nothing is cruel, we've cut every round that ever tipped that way. What's left is the interesting part: watching a room of strangers become a group with actual politics inside ninety minutes.
This is our Sunday regular. People come alone and leave with a group chat.
How it works
- 01
You arrive alone
Most people do. Groups of more than three get split, the experiment doesn't work if you already have a side.
- 02
Five rounds
Each round changes who can talk to whom. That constraint is the whole game.
- 03
Nobody is eliminated
You're in it until the end. What changes is how much power you have.

Debrief with the host
Twenty minutes at the end where we explain what was actually being tested. This part is genuinely fascinating.
