What it actually looks like

Beach sport, with a sense of humour.

How it works

Active people. New friends. One Saturday afternoon.

  1. 01

    Just show up.

    Solo or with a friend. Bandana, flag, five teammates. Sorted in 5 minutes.

  2. 02

    Play hard.

    Surprise beach games, real teamwork, plenty of cheering.

  3. 03

    Leave with a crew.

    Medals, pica-pica (free tapas), a WhatsApp group that lives past Saturday. The day ends. The people stay.

Your Saturday Plan

Hour by hour. Whistle to last drink.

Arrive at 15:00. Last whistle at 19:00. At 19:30 we walk together to a beach bar until late.

  1. 15:00

    Arrival at the welcome tent

    We meet at Platja del Fòrum and send the exact pin 24h before. Look for the five team colors and your name on the list. We hand you a bandana and walk you to your team. Some come with a friend, some come solo, either way say hi to whoever's nearest.

  2. 15:30

    Opening ceremony

    Quick welcome and format walkthrough. Your team gets 15 minutes with the new crew to prep, then each team gets one minute to present their chant. Loud, fast, no overthinking.

  3. 16:00 – 19:00

    The games

    The best part of the day. A rotating selection of surprise games designed to cut through language barriers, get you moving, meet plenty of new people, and have a stupid amount of fun (while sneaking in the workout you'd have skipped Saturday morning). Fast rotations. Points tracked. One big finale.

  4. 19:30

    Walk to the beach bar

    Closing ceremony on the sand at 19:15: medals, funny awards, group photo. Then we walk to a chiringuito for pica-pica (on us) and drinks (your call). Stay as long as the vibe holds.

The Social Sports Games

A mix of games. A lot of surprises.

Beach challenges, team relays, trust games, water games, balance tasks, coordination tests, speed runs. A rotating selection you'll never see twice. Different every edition. Loud every edition. Every game is designed to make you connect, compete, and laugh with your team (and a little with the rival teams too. No promises about who you'll text first on Sunday).

Sample challenges. The actual line-up stays a surprise.

  • Blindfold Beach Maze poster

    Guide your teammate through the course using only communication.

  • Bucket Brigade Splash Relay poster

    Move water down the line with speed, rhythm, and teamwork.

  • Cone-to-Cone Catch Relay poster

    Pass, catch, rotate, and keep the sequence alive.

  • Team Transport Challenge poster

    Move as one team through a sandy course. Coordination beats speed.

  • Seated Beach Tug-of-War poster

    Strength matters, but timing and coordination win.

  • Water Balloon Volleyball poster

    Launch, catch, and return without bursting the balloon.

  • Tunnel Ball poster

    A fast team relay where timing and transitions decide everything.

  • Pass the Cup (Balloon Edition) poster

    Pass the cup down the line without dropping or popping.

What to bring

  • A big bottle of water. Non-negotiable. Barcelona in July is brutal sun, you'll thank yourself by 17:00.
  • Sunscreen. Re-apply between games. The sand reflects everything back at you.
  • Swimsuit + a top you can move and get wet in.
  • Your social + sports skills. We bring the rest.

The bandana system

Bandana. Flag. Team. Chant. Loud.

5 colors. 5 Barcelona landmarks. 5 teams of 6. We mix everyone up beforehand to balance nationalities, energy and accents (so no team accidentally ends up being five French people speaking only French). Every team is a healthy chaos of new faces. You grab your bandana, walk to your flag, and five teammates are already there waiting.

What April said

Four real reactions, the day after.

  • Genuinely the best Saturday I've had in months. When's the next one?
    Andro, Team Triomf
  • How does this not already exist in Barcelona? I'd come back tomorrow.
    Alba, Team Sagrada
  • Such a great idea. Walked in not knowing anyone, walked out with five new friends.
    Marc, Team Güell
  • Not even a sports person, and I had the best afternoon. Already counting down to the next one.
    Lina, Team Tibidabo

FAQ

Bring a friend, or come solo. Either way, you'll be fine.

  • Both work. Some people bring one friend, some come solo, some come as a small group. Tell us who you're with at checkout and we keep you on the same team. Either way, we build the teams of six in advance, so within five minutes of arriving you're inside a team with a bandana, a name, and a chant. Awkward gets short-circuited by the games.
