Blood on the Clocktower at Manifesto! (beginner/intermediate)

Hi folks, this is the meetup group for the weekly Sunday Blood on the Clocktower games in the Soot bar in Manifesto at Potsdamer Platz. We run beginner-friendly and intermediate-level games throughout the afternoon and evening. **Friendly newcomers of all skill levels are welcome, no experience required!** Our group aims to provide a fun and welcoming space to experience this thrilling game of social deception. **We focus on promoting a positive and fun group atmosphere, where players don’t take themselves or the game too seriously, whether they’re heroically winning or spectacularly losing.** Our players follow the code of conduct for the Berlin Board Gamers group and are expected to treat each other with respect and consideration – “killing with grace, and dying with dignity”. We are usually able to offer two simultaneous games on Sundays. If you are marked as "attending" in Meetup and are in your seat at 15:00, your place is guaranteed for as long as you want to stay. All other seats are first come, first served. We always run at least one beginner-friendly game of the basic version of Clocktower ("Trouble Brewing") throughout the afternoon and evening. We also usually have enough players for a second intermediate-level game. If you are already very familiar with Clocktower, consider also joining our Tuesday meetup for advanced players, when we play with complex custom scripts and characters. Blood on the Clocktower is a deep, mechanical game of murder and mystery, lies and logic, deduction and deception… think Werewolf on steroids. Each player receives a unique secret role and plays either for the good team – the uninformed majority, gathering info and working with others to solve the puzzle – or the evil team, the informed minority, scheming to eliminate good players and protect their demon from execution. In our beginner games no prior experience is expected and we will gladly explain the game rules to any newcomers. We play in English so players should be able to understand and express themselves in English: an exception is possible for one pair of players willing to play together (as a “Revolutionary” pair) where one player can interpret into and out of English. Please let us know in advance if this is the case. We are very grateful to the wonderful folks at Manifesto for hosting our meetup! **Please support the venue during your visit by buying drinks and/or food.**

All jokes a slide

We're kidnapping the werewolf crew for a different kind of event this time! Berlin's finest, edgiest comedians are coming together to tell us what crazy world we’d live in if they ruled it. And because a mic alone wasn't enough, they are presenting their new world order with laser pointers and a slideshow. This is an absolute premiere, and the lineup is pure gold! Our host: Brendan Hickey has basically shaped the Berlin comedy scene through his Epic Comedy club. There’s nobody better suited to host "All Jokes A Slide." The comedians: Maxim Kremer doesn't just entertain his massive Instagram following with his stoic, hilarious persona. His slides will crack us up too. Žana Fejzić is the lady of the bunch, but don't be deceived. She'll lure you in with her charm, then go for the kill, one slide at a time. Dayne Brasher brings his Australian charm alongside a vibe that might remind you of The Dude, or at the very least, make you laugh like a little girl. Come join us for a hilarious night. With or without you, this is going to be one to remember. This event is free, kindly sponsored by AI presentation maker Gamma, but please grab your ticket on Eventbrite anyway: https://www.eventbrite.de/e/all-jokes-a-slide-tickets-2001883949783?aff=oddtdtcreator And get there early, doors open at 7pm and the first 30 visitors score some Gamma swag: stylish tote bags for free. Plus, you'll want a good spot before the room fills up, because once it's full, it's full. You'll be asked a werewolf question at signup, feel free to be creative and make the regular werewolf organizers laugh ;)

Psychology Lab Berlin #2 — Boundaries in Relationships

**Boundaries in Relationships: Where Do I End and You Begin?** For our second Psychology Lab, we’ll explore **boundaries in close relationships** through two therapeutic perspectives: **Gestalt Therapy** and **Bowen Family Systems Theory**. At the center of the discussion is the tension between: **Autonomy ←————→ Connection** **Gestalt asks:** *How do I meet you while remaining aware that you are not me?* **Bowen asks:** *How do I stay emotionally connected to you without losing my differentiated self — or cutting myself off to preserve it?* We’ll also explore how boundaries relate to our needs: **Needs = what is happening inside me.** **Boundaries = how I manage the meeting point between my needs and yours.** What happens when our needs conflict? When does closeness become enmeshment? When does autonomy become emotional distance? And are our ideas about “healthy boundaries” universal, or partly shaped by culture? ### 📚 Before the meeting Please read these two papers beforehand — **both are publicly available**: **Gestalt:** Nana Burduli — *Contact Boundaries in Love Relationships* **Bowen Family Systems:** Lampis et al. — *Differentiation of Self and Dyadic Adjustment in Couple Relationships* We’ll use them as the starting point for our discussion, so please read both. ### 🧠 Agenda 1. **Participant introductions** 2. **10–15 min introduction to the topic** — Gestalt, Bowen & boundaries in relationships 3. **Group discussion** ### About Psychology Lab Berlin Psychology Lab Berlin is a **discussion club for people interested in psychology and psychotherapy**. This is **not a self-help workshop, therapy group, or support group**. We meet to explore psychological ideas, research and different therapeutic perspectives together. You don't need to be a psychologist or therapist — just come curious, read the materials beforehand, and be ready to discuss, question and disagree. **📍 Location:** Berlin, TBD — the exact venue will be announced closer to the event.

Case File: The Bank Robbery — Live Detective Investigation

Hello, fellow private investigators, Join us for our third live group investigation into a fictional unsolved murder tied to a bank robbery. This isn't a roleplay night — you won't be assigned a character or a script. We're all detectives working the same case, reading witness statements, forensic reports, crime scene photos and evidence files, and reasoning out loud as a group to figure out who did it and why. **What to expect** * **Format:** A sealed cold case file, opened in stages. Each stage ends with a checkpoint question, and the next envelope opens by confirming what the evidence proved. No host feeding answers, just the evidence. Sealed hint available if you get stuck. * **Teams:** We'll split into teams of 3–5 investigators. Come with friends or on your own and I'll place you. Limited to 35 people. * **Time:** Roughly 2–3 hours. This is a sit-down, take-notes-and-argue kind of afternoon. * **Difficulty:** Choose easy, medium or hard at check-in. * **Experience:** None needed, and you don't have to have joined the earlier cases. No puzzles to decode, no trivia knowledge required. Everything you need to solve it is somewhere in the file. * **Language:** This event will be held in English. * **Location:** I'll message the exact meeting spot via email to everyone who has RSVP'd, one day before the event. * **Cost:** €5 per person, collected at check-in. It covers the case files and organising the event. I don't make a profit from these events. * **Socials:** Follow us on Instagram: @berlin_murder_mystery_club

Chitta Walks - Awareness in Motion

Chitta Walks is for people whose days move fast, while the mind never fully lands. Thoughts keep looping even when nothing is urgent. The body moves, but attention is elsewhere. Over time, this disconnect drains clarity and ease. This walk is a simple reset. We meet in Berlin’s Tiergarten and walk at a gentle pace. Parts of the walk are in silence, with light guidance and a few short prompts. The walk itself is the practice, bringing body and mind back into the same moment. No apps. No performance. Just a clear space to slow down and notice what is happening. If you want to slow down without withdrawing from life, join a Chitta Walk. ✨ **What to expect (approx. 90 minutes):** * A short arrival and orientation * A guided silent walk (phones off, no conversation) * One concise science-based impulse on attention or stress * Optional reflection in pairs or small groups * A simple takeaway or experiment for daily life 🚶**Who this is for:** * Professionals, creatives, and people in transition. * People who feel mentally busy and want more clarity and balance. * Those curious about mindfulness, but grounded and practical. * Anyone comfortable with silence and gentle self observation. 🔔 **Practical notes:** * Duration: 60-90 minutes * Wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing * No prior experience needed * Group size is limited to keep the space quiet and focused 🧭 **Facilitator:** My name is Partha Sarathi, you can call me PS. I have lived in Berlin for over 12 years. With a background in physics and materials science, my interest in mindfulness grew through personal experience with stress and health challenges. I facilitate the space and structure of the walk, inviting shared exploration rather than instruction. 🤔 **Why Chitta Walks?** Chitta is a Sanskrit word referring to the mind or field of awareness, used here in a practical, non-religious sense. Chitta Walks is about noticing how the mind works by slowing down and walking together. Mindful walking makes thought patterns visible in real time, while moving and sensing in the world. The name points to a simple capacity: noticing what is happening in the mind without immediately trying to fix, judge, or optimize it. 🌿 **Possible effects:** A calmer nervous system. Clearer attention. A felt sense of being more present in your body. Subtle insights into how your mind reacts under everyday conditions. A quieter, more grounded way of moving through the city. **Come as you are. Walk. Notice. Leave with a little more space inside.**

Curiosity Lab - The hidden life of water - An evening of experiments

Curiosity Lab - The Hidden Life Of Water - A Hands-On Evening

**Can you actually watch water leave a living cell?** This evening, you can. I’m a science teacher in Berlin, and I’d love to invite you into our science classroom for a relaxed, hands-on evening of microscopes, simple experiments, surprising discoveries and good conversation. Together, we’ll explore **osmosis** — one of those processes that quietly keeps life working. Every living cell has to manage the movement of water. Get that balance wrong, and cells can swell, shrink or stop functioning properly. And osmosis is not just something from a biology textbook. It helps explain why wilted lettuce becomes crisp again in water, why salt draws water out of food, why drinking seawater makes dehydration worse, and why the balance of water and salts in our bodies matters so much. You’ll prepare and observe living red onion cells under the microscope and actually see what happens when water moves in and out. We’ll connect what you observe with familiar examples from everyday life, so you leave not only having seen something usually invisible, but understanding **why it matters**. You don’t need to remember anything from school biology. The idea is simply to spend an enjoyable evening being curious together: trying things out, asking questions, discovering something new and meeting other people along the way. Come because you like science, because you haven’t looked through a microscope in years, because you enjoy learning — or simply because doing something a little different with a group of curious people sounds like a good evening. The event is in person and completely free of charge, offered as part of our school’s community activities. Expect microscopes, simple experiments, and a closer look at something that is happening inside living organisms all the time — usually completely invisible to us. Because this is a hands-on session in a classroom, places are limited to **20 participants**. Registration is therefore needed. If you sign up, please only do so if you genuinely intend to come, so that none of the limited places go unused. You are very welcome to come on your own or bring a friend. If you bring someone, please make sure they register separately as well so we can stay within the classroom capacity. **No science background needed — just curiosity.** Register [HERE](https://terminplaner.dfn.de/public/bookings/9f8cbab1-80f7-429a-8056-a6efa4d6f8d0) If you have any questions, just send me a message. I hope to welcome many of you at the event. Kindly, Maria
