Always a Great Time with Storiboard Club!

I’ve been to three events with Storiboard Club so far (two bowling events and one dinner evening), and I’m attending another one tomorrow (a darts evening). The website can be a little buggy at times, but whenever I’ve had any issues or questions, the customer service via WhatsApp has been quick, friendly, and excellent. I’ve met a diverse range of people through these events and always have a great time. I plan to attend regularly from now on. It would be really nice if Storiboard Club introduced reunion events to bring past attendees back together!

Thank you so much for such a lovely review! We’re so glad you’ve enjoyed a mix of experiences — from bowling to dinners to darts — and that our team’s support has helped along the way. We love your idea about reunion events for past attendees — that’s actually something we’ve been discussing internally! Hope to see you again soon for another great night out.

Excessive emails after signing up to their list

Joined the email list as I thought I may want to attend future events but honestly the amount of emails received became intrusive and annoying. Unsubscribed after a few weeks as it was excessive.

Fabulous supper with new friends.

I went to my first event last night - a supper with five “strangers”. It was brilliant!! I felt we’d been really well matched and spent the whole evening chatting and laughing over a curry!! There were four women and two men - we all got on incredibly well!! I’d recommend this and say to anyone Just Do It!!

It’s such a great concept

It’s such a great concept, put together by some really thoughtful and talented people. Met with complete strangers, and bonded over a nice meal and a couple drinks.
In a world where meeting people organically, this is great! Would definitely recommend.

A walk on the chaotic side

What a brilliant idea, especially in a bustling city like London, where connecting with others can be a challenge. I booked well in advance, but on my way to the venue, I received a message from Storiboard pushing the time back by an hour. Unfortunately, that meant I couldn’t stay for the whole event.

I mistakenly thought it was a mix of a music quiz and karaoke, but it turned out to be two hours of quiz followed by karaoke. I got to enjoy my group’s energetic performances, but I didn't get to join in. I gave three stars, mainly for my lovely, albeit much younger, group with whom I got along, but were not a match.

I provided this feedback and received excuses, including the assertion that I was given six hours' notice about the time change. Just a reminder: changes require 24 hours' notice. I was also told the time shift was due to merging groups because of cancellations, which explains the mismatch. Made me glad I did not commit and sign up for more.

Thank you for taking the time to share this detailed feedback. We’re really sorry your experience felt disorganised — that’s not the standard we aim for. We’ve already updated our event timings and communication process to avoid last-minute changes like this. We’d love the chance to make it up to you at another experience.

Amazing Night Out!

Went to bowling a few weeks ago, ended up staying several hours with some amazing new people after our game had finished! Would 100% recommend for anyone :)

First Storiboard Dinner

Had my first experience of a Storiboard Dinner last night in Edinburgh. Was apprehensive in going out with 5 strangers for dinner but came home buzzing having met 5 new friends. Amazing experience, gorgeous group of men and ladies. Highly recommend anyone who may be sitting on the fence to go for it.
Well organised, communications are great and a wonderful experience all round.
Looking forward to my next event 🐝

I had a great evening met some rather interesting people and had fun. The Storiboard company is brilliantly organised. I had such a great evening. The restaurant was in a great location in town so very central. I would definitely do another dinner club again. I wasn't keen on the food but the company was great.

Hi Kristian - thanks for the feedback and I’m sorry this missed the mark for you. We’re a friendship-first platform. Outside of our women-only nights, we aim for an even gender split and balance groups by age and personality. On rare occasions a group can lean one way due to last-minute availability or no-shows, and we’re working constantly to minimise that.

Bowling, making friends for life!

I signed up for Storiboard, spur of the moment kind of thing, when I got there, I had so much fun with the surprise event, meeting people, I forgot to actually bowl which is what the event was supposed to be! Met some wonderful people, thoroughly recommend for extroverts or introverts as its welcoming for both! 5/5

Fun, friends and plants?

It was very easy to book- I took a five minute quiz saying what my availability was, what activities I like to do and which locations are best for me.

I chose to play social darts and was allocated a convenient location that was easy for me to commute to.

On arrival, the staff were expecting the Storiboard crew. Check in was very easy, and we had a designated area to ourselves.

There were four Storiboard Social Darts groups booked for that evening so although I had my designated group, there were even more people to socialise with. Everyone in my group was very laid-back and welcoming. The conversation flowed easily, and the games allowed us to make several teams throughout the whole session, so I had a chance to socialise with everyone.

There was great follow-up from Storiboard via text, where I spoke with a real person- not a chat bot :D

Also, the event wristband is plantable. Yep, take your wristband home, put it in some dirt, water it and watch your mystery plant sprout. How cool is that?

In summation, I paid £10 to play darts for two hours in a laid-back and social environment, and make some new friends, and got a free plant. 5/5 would recommend.

Really like this concept

Really enjoy this concept. I have tried the dinner evenings and darts. Met some lovely people. I like how expectations re payment of meals are set out from the start. This gets rid of any awkwardness. Booking is easy. I took out the 3 month membership as after my first dinner and then darts it makes it more economical. Everyone has been friendly and it’s great finding out about new people and their jobs and interests. This is something I can do on my own and it breaks the week up for me. It would be good to do some other nights with different activities. Maybe this is something being planned.

Four men, including me, each with completely different story.

We chatted about general topics for two hours, then everyone returned to where they came from.

Thanks for sharing your honest feedback, Mariusz. We’re sorry this particular evening didn’t quite hit the mark for you. We always aim to match people based on personalities and interests, but sometimes the mix doesn’t land as well as we’d like. We’ll keep working hard to improve the experience so it feels more engaging every time.
