Ask away.

The questions people ask first. If yours is not here, write to info@joyala.club.

Can I come alone?

Most people do. You sit at a table of 4 to 6, so there is no standing around wondering where to go.

What does it cost?

Your first night is free. No card, no subscription. After that, membership gets you in: from €13 a month paid yearly, or €24 a month, cancel anytime. Founding year: €149 instead of €199, until 31 December.

Where is it?

A venue in Amsterdam. We keep its name off the internet. Everyone who booked gets the address by email 48 hours before.

Do I need to know the games?

No. The games are picked for the room and explained at the table. Nobody has to have played before.

Is it in English?

Yes, at every table.

Can I bring a friend?

Yes. They book their own seat, and their first night is free too.

Can’t make it?

Use the cancel link in your confirmation email and your seat goes to someone else. Tables are set on Sunday evening, so the sooner the better. Members can cancel from their calendar.

What do events cost on top of membership?

Tuesday game night is included in your membership, so you book a seat and come and play. Partner events and activities, from escape rooms to paint nights, are booked at discounted member prices that exist only inside Joyala, always below the public price and always shown before you book. Some hosted evenings carry a small event fee for the room and materials. The 12, 6 and 3 month plans come with four, two or one event-fee vouchers per term to cover those. Monthly has none.

Is there drinking?

Only if you want to. Most events have good options either way.

Can I cancel?

Yes, cancel anytime in your account. Your membership stays active until the end of the period you paid for, then simply doesn’t renew.

Will I be filmed?

We take photos and video at our nights and use them on our website, on social media and in our ads, so your face may be in them. Tell us at the start of the night if you would rather stay out of shot. If a photo of you is already up, one email and it’s gone.
