NeighBoards Hosted Game Nights
Turn a slow night

How it works
Your venue hires NeighBoards for a flat event fee — the same whether 5 guests join in or 50. Game Night is free for your guests; they order food and drinks from you like any other night. We'll walk you through pricing when we talk.
A better reason to go out on a weeknight.
(Monday through Thursday, we're ready.)Keep them playing
Give guests a reason to stay for one more game — and maybe one more round.
Another round, another order
More time at the table means more chances to order food and drinks.
Build recurring programming
A good pilot can become a regular night people put on their calendars.
Grow a neighborhood crowd
Game Night gives locals a reason to make your venue their spot.
Zero programming work
We plan, host, and run the entertainment. Your team keeps running the venue.
So what actually happens?
From setup to breakdown, it's on us.
Stage 1
We set the stage
We bring the games, materials, signage, and equipment and handle setup before the event begins.
Stage 2
We get people playing
Our Game Masters actively engage guests, explain the experience, recommend games, and help groups get started.
Stage 3
We run Game Night
We teach rules, facilitate games, circulate between tables, answer questions, manage hosted activities, and keep the experience moving.
Stage 4
We pack it up
When Game Night wraps, we collect the games and equipment and handle breakdown and cleanup.
We don't just drop off a stack of games.
We create and manage the experience — so your staff can focus on the venue.
