You climb the narrow stairs on Desire Street and the second-floor door opens onto an intimate room of mismatched chairs, low lights and a puppet host with sharp timing. Laughter gathers like a current; the games dart between trivia-free riffs, buzzer duels and improv prompts that put the focus on timing and company rather than knowledge or athleticism.
