Your phone gets a pause
A simple pouch at check-in makes the room more present, not more precious.
Des Moines · phone-free social club
Good company lives here.
Offline Hours brings a small room of people together for one memorable evening—with phones tucked away and no pressure to perform.
First city · limited seats · real conversation
The first room
An evening with nowhere else to be.
Phone pouch at the door Your device stays with you, just out of the room.
A comfortably small crowd Arrive solo or with someone you know.
The format
Supper · sketch · run & read
Same city. Brighter people.
The Offline promise
Real connections hit different.
We make it easier to find people you want to see again—without an app, an algorithm, or a packed room that calls itself community.
02
The activity gives you an in
Each gathering has a shared rhythm, so arriving alone never means making small talk from scratch.
03
Small rooms make room for you
We cap each evening around the venue, the activity, and a conversation that can actually happen.
One recurring local ritual
A little structure. A lot more life.
Every format is designed to turn unfamiliar faces into next-week plans.
At the door
01
Pouch the phone. Exhale.
Check in, seal your device, grab a name card, and let a host make the first introduction.
02
Do one thing together
A long-table supper, guided sketch night, or conversational run-and-read. The format changes; shared attention does not.
03
Leave with real plans
A familiar face next month beats another contact you never call. Membership makes repeat connection easier.
