Every Sunday evening we host a Nerd|Otaku Trivia Night. Our main themes include movies, tv shows, anime, gaming, music, general knowledge and comic/media characters. Feel free to join us and jump into a team to flex your nerd muscles in friendly banter and wholesome discussion.
Casual Gaming
Many of our Otakus are active gamers and their exploits are mostly done as groups. They coordinate and organise themselves on our Discord server where a wide variety of games on all platforms are played daily.
