This category gathers events that do not fit into concerts, theatre or exhibitions: weekly pub quizzes in Łódź bars, author meetings in libraries, dialogue circles, social saunas and city games. This is the most "everyday" part of the calendar - lots of meetings with friends in a less formal style than a night at the theatre.
The pub quiz is the most common type of event in this category - the game runs cyclically, usually once a week, at several bars and restaurants at once. Pasibus on Piotrkowska Street, Dobra Buła, LUMI Fun Bar, Piwoteka Narodowa, Tubylec Klubokawiarnia Podróżnicza and Dom Handlowy "Magda" all have their own regular editions of the quiz - some of them have been running without a break for dozens of weeks. The format is similar everywhere: teams at tables, questions from different categories, prizes for the best teams.
Pasibus also runs NAME THE MOVIE - a film quiz with different rules from a classic pub quiz - and PubCrime, a team-based crime game in which you have to solve a mystery instead of just answering questions. This is a good option for groups already familiar with the classic pub quiz and looking for something with an investigative element.
WOLNOŚĆ Library is the most active host of author meetings and debates in this category - it regularly invites writers, journalists and academics for talks about books, media and social issues, and also runs the Free Book Club as a recurring discussion club. MEMO Mediateka and Dom Literatury organise their own author meetings, less often but regularly - these are places where you can talk with a book's author, not just listen to a lecture.
At PINOTEKA, a hall of Teatr Pinokio, recurring "Safe Dialogue Space" meetings take place - a women's circle held separately from a men's circle. This is not a performance or a lecture, but an organised group conversation with specific rules and moderation, returning regularly at the same venue.
Aquapark FALA runs the "Wednesday at FALA" series - a weekly event combining relaxation with water activity - and once a year organises the Łódź Sauna Festival as a bigger, festive themed event. This is the only venue in this category where the event combines physical activity, not just a social one.
Pub quizzes and social games are aimed mainly at adults and older teenagers, playing in teams of friends or colleagues - a popular form of after-work team bonding. Author meetings and debates in libraries attract a broader, often older audience interested in literature and social issues. Dialogue circles are aimed at people looking for conversation in a safe, moderated group; sign-up is usually necessary because of the limited number of places.
You usually do not need to sign up for a pub quiz in advance, just show up with a team, though for popular editions it is worth booking a table. Admission to a quiz is sometimes free, sometimes a token fee per team or per person - it is worth checking the specific bar's rules before you go. Author meetings in libraries are usually free, but for popular guests the number of places is limited, so it is better to sign up in advance. Dialogue circles at PINOTEKA require sign-up, because the group has to be closed before the meeting starts.
