Start With The Reason
THE NIGHT YOU WANT TO HAVE
Most people are not trying to book a card game. They want a date that has something to do, a celebration that stays together, or a low-pressure way to try something new.
Start with the closest match, then choose Open Play, a private table, or the event path based on group size.
Planning a more specific night? These pages keep the details out of the main booking path.

Plan an EventWhat To Expect
SHOW UP, WE GUIDE IT
Come in with your group, check in with the host, and let the table carry the night. Here is the practical version before you book.
Your arrival
Check in, grab drinks, start easy
Your Game Host gets the table set, explains the first game, and helps the group settle in without anyone needing to study rules first.
Timing
Plan for about two hours
Most groups get the full experience with at least two hours. You can keep the night casual with food, drinks, pool, darts, and more rounds.
Cost
No cost to book online
Reserve your spot online and pay at the venue after your experience. Larger events and private spaces can be planned separately.
For beginners
No experience needed
The table, screens, and host make each game easy to follow. First-timers, competitive friends, parents, and coworkers can play together.
The vibe
Social games, not gambling
This is a hosted hospitality experience with cards, reactions, food, and drinks. There is no money on the table.
Food & drinks
Order while you play
Keep the table going with cocktails, shareables, and dinner from the menu. The games give the night a center; food and drinks round it out.
What You Will Play
THE TABLE IS THE GAME
Showdown is built around hosted social card games. Food, drinks, pool, and darts add to the night, but the table is the main event.
Mafia & Social Deception
Read The Room
Card Mafia gives the table a reason to accuse, defend, laugh, and second-guess every friend at the table.
Uno-Style Party Games
Easy To Jump Into
Chain Reaction and other fast party games keep turns quick, rules light, and the whole group involved.
Classics Reimagined
Familiar, But Better
Hearts, Spades-style classics, and other card-table staples get the Showdown treatment with hosts, scoring, and table tech.
Showdown Originals
Only Here
Powerups, Draft, Ladder Up, and other original modes add strategy, speed, table reads, and big reactions.
Take It Home
SHARE YOUR HIGHLIGHTS
Cameras capture key moments throughout the night. After your session, get video clips sent straight to your phone. Share them, brag about them, come back and make more.
