Game Night! Date Night! A Wonderful Way to Celebrate NYC Dads Group’s 5th Anniversary!

November 27, 2013 by City Dads Group

NYC Dads Group create awesome experiences for dads to get together with their children as well as evening workshops and dads nights out once a month without the kids.  Our significant others continue to ask when they can join in the fun so we were seeking a way to include them into an upcoming event.  Our five year anniversary was on the horizon since the inception of NYC Dads Group (November 24, 2008) so we wanted to celebrate in a big way.  A plan was hatched with our friends at TimeToPlayMag.com – create a special evening for the dads in our group to bring along their significant others to participate in the ultimate Game Night sponsored by Hasbro and UrbanSitter.


Over thirty couples booked babysitters (special thanks to UrbanSitter for providing services) and headed into midtown Manhattan for a night on the town at Stout NYC.  Cocktails were flowing, delicious food was served, and the social atmosphere of meeting each others better half was electric.  It was the perfect social setting to play some popular games as well as the hottest new titles from Hasbro like Taboo, Scattergories, Draw Something Party, Trivial Pursuit Party, and Catchphrase. The competition was fierce, friendly, and fun! Throughout the evening, guests downloaded TimeToPlayMag.com’s Free Shop for Kids app that offers a live price comparison tool as well as thousands of reviews, and participated in live giveways for the chance to win some of this year’s most coveted holiday toys.  Plus, each guest went home with new Hasbro games so the entertainment and excitement could continue with their families.  

Are you for game night with your family?

Here’s a few comments and pictures to document what a blast we had:

Game Night was one of the best meetups I’ve been to since joining the NYC Dads Group. Not only did I get a night out with my wife, Elaine, but I got to finally meet spouses about whom I’ve heard a TON! Eight of us spent the evening laughing and playing Taboo, enjoying great food from Stout NYC (mmm…sliders!), and basically having a blast. Also turned out our table was lucky as two from our group were raffle winners. And then gift bags? Icing on the cake! – Lorne J.

My wife and I had an amazing time playing Taboo with other fellow NYC Dads and their wives. Fun times snacking and drinking without the kids, and won awesome prizes! Thank you for the wonderful event! – Jeff C.


This was the perfect excuse to hire a babysitter for a date night Hasbro’s Game Night scratched that itch for a much needed night out with my wife.  The impressive selection of games and endless trays of sliders made for quite the enjoyable evening.  And it turns out my wife and I make a kick-butt ‘Draw Something’ Team!

That was a lot of fun!!!! Nice to meet some new members and the couples I was playing trivial pursuit party with. It was my first no kids meetup with the dads group and I will be doing it again!!! Thanks to the organizers and the sponsors. – PapaFern


Darleen and I enjoyed the festive atmosphere infused with blast-from-the-past family gaming throw-down fun! Stout, well there’s something in a name, as the event space lived up to every expectation. Thank you TimetoplayMag.com, Hasbro and UrbanSitter. Happy 5Th anniversary NYC Dads Group. BRAVO! – Greg J.L.


Great place, great people, great night.  Spent most of the evening playing ‘Draw Something’ and truly enjoyed it. -Offir G. 

Special thanks to our amazing host, TimeToPlayMag.com, and our wonderful sponsors – Hasbro and UrbanSitter.
