Street Photography
Wander with a camera and candidly document the city's rhythms — fleeting expressions, unexpected geometry, and the quiet drama of everyday life make for endlessly compelling images.
Urban Farming
Grow food in the city — on rooftops, balconies, or shared community plots — converting forgotten urban spaces into productive gardens and reconnecting with how food is made.
Vermicomposting
Set up a worm bin to transform kitchen scraps — vegetable peels, coffee grounds, eggshells — into rich, dark compost that supercharges the soil in your garden.
Whale Watching
Join a boat excursion to spot humpback whales, blue whales, or orcas breaching in the open sea — an unforgettable encounter with the ocean's most magnificent creatures.
Sushi Go!
Draft sushi dish cards — passing your hand to the left each round — to build the tastiest combo of nigiri, rolls, pudding, and dumplings and score the most points over three rounds.
Takenoko
Tend a bamboo garden for the Emperor's panda, laying tiles to grow three colours of bamboo and secretly completing objective cards — a delightfully charming strategy game for two to four players.
Ticket to Ride
Collect coloured train cards and claim routes across a railway map, fulfilling destination tickets for points while blocking rivals' connections in this beloved gateway board game.
Trivial Pursuit
Answer trivia questions across six categories — geography, entertainment, history, art, science, and sport — to collect coloured wedges and race to the centre of the wheel to win.
