Hangout Types
Because there's more than one way to hang out.
Tap any format to see what it's actually like.
01 Hear Me Out Take the mic for 5–15 minutes. Or just listen.
Got something to say? Take the mic for 5–15 minutes and talk about anything you want. A niche interest, wild theory, passionate rant, or something you think everyone should know.
Present using Canva, Google Slides, or any presentation app of your choice. Submit your slides beforehand for approval.
Prefer listening? You can do that too. But with limited seats and presenters being key to the experience, presenters are more likely to be invited.
02 Coffee with Strangers Swap stories with people you'd never have met.
Meet people you probably wouldn't have met otherwise. Talk about life, swap stories, and hear about the experiences that shaped someone.
And despite the name, it won't always be coffee. Other drinks can be arranged based on preferences and health requirements, so there's something for everyone.
03 Workshops Learn something hands-on, with curious people.
Learn something new while meeting people who are curious about the same things you are.
Our workshops bring people together through hands-on activities, creative skills, and new experiences. From cake decorating and creative writing to art, soap making, candle making, and everything in between, there's always something new to try.
04 Game Nights Trivia, board games, questionable strategies.
Trivia, board games, group games, friendly rivalries, questionable strategies, and plenty of opportunities to meet someone new.
Come solo and meet people, or bring your group. Either way, there's always room for another player.
05 And more Book clubs, creative nights, whatever we try next.
We're not putting ourselves in a box.
From creative activities and book clubs to niche interests and completely new ideas, we're always experimenting with new ways to bring people together.

Who can participate?
Everyone is welcome! We primarily host hangouts for people with creative interests, passions, and curious minds, but you don't have to be a creative professional to join. Expats and tourists visiting Dhaka are welcome too.
Do I need to speak Bengali?

Nope! Our hangouts are designed to give you different ways to engage. Participate, chat, listen, observe, or take things at your own pace. There's no gold medal for being the most social person in the room.
