SyncTrip Chandigarh's board-game nights are where a lot of the tricity's newest friendships start: a mixed table, a stack of games, and people you didn't know an hour ago. They run at cafés across the city, and some sell out.
Prefer screens? The gaming lounges and VR arcades below, from Kharar and Mohali to Elante, are better with a squad too. Find players nearby on SyncTrip.
Club events and open plans you can join. Many people come alone, so you won't be the only new face.
Across Chandigarh, Mohali, Zirakpur and Panchkula. Tap Go with people on any place to plan it with others on SyncTrip.
Cafe JC in Sector 10D is one of the cafés where SyncTrip Chandigarh has hosted board-game meetups. Sector 10 is one of the city's favourite café streets, and Cafe JC is an easy, central place to meet new people over games and coffee. Check SyncTrip for the next session here.
The Gaming Theory in Ek Onkar City, Kharar is a gaming spot where SyncTrip has hosted community game sessions. If you live around Kharar or Mohali and want people to play with, rather than queue alone, check SyncTrip for the next gaming or board-game meetup here, or start one yourself.
High Class VR is a virtual-reality arcade inside Mohali Walk Mall, Sector 62, near the PVR. VR games are short and intense, which makes them a good add-on before or after a movie. Pair it with a SyncTrip movie plan in Mohali and turn it into an evening out with new people.
Underground Gaming Lounge & Cafe in the basement of SCO 18, Sector 125 (Sunny Enclave, Kharar) is a gaming lounge with a café, a handy hangout for students and people living around Kharar and New Chandigarh. Gaming is better with a squad; find players nearby on SyncTrip and book a session together.
HopUp on the Ambala–Chandigarh Expressway in Zirakpur is the tricity's all-in-one fun zone: trampolines, an outdoor go-karting track, bowling, laser tag, VR and an arcade under one roof. There's no single entry ticket; you load a play card and pay per game. Go with 4–6 people and race each other on the kart track. On SyncTrip you can find a group heading there this weekend.
Ketliwala in Sector 22B is a casual café where SyncTrip Chandigarh has hosted community meetups. It's central, easy to reach from most sectors, and relaxed enough for first-time meetups where you don't know anyone yet. Look for upcoming SyncTrip plans here or start your own café meetup.
My Bake Art Cafe in Sector 36-D hosted SyncTrip Chandigarh's Board Games Night events. It's a cosy space for a relaxed evening of games with people you've just met. If you're new to the city, a board-game night here is one of the lowest-pressure ways to start. Watch SyncTrip for the next one.
Yazu Pan Asian Experience in Sector 26 is where SyncTrip Chandigarh runs some of its board-game nights: a mixed table of new people, games and pan-Asian food. Sector 26 is also the city's nightlife strip, so it's easy to continue the evening. See upcoming SyncTrip board-game nights to book a seat.
The Game Palacio on the 3rd floor of Nexus Elante Mall is a boutique bowling and entertainment lounge with bowling lanes, arcade games, VR and a full food and drinks menu. It stays open till midnight, so it's an easy after-work plan in Chandigarh. Bowling is best in teams of 3–4; find your team on SyncTrip.
Hosts teach the games, so you don't need to know any rules. It's the easiest way into the community.
