About us
Unplugged Commons hosts analog social events that break the spell of the screen. Tech companies design devices to captivate and addict us, and those screens stole our common spaces. We push back.
Welcome to Unplugged Commons | Dayton! We design premium, high-energy social events where you naturally build genuine connections over a shared table. Forget about awkward networking events or shouting over loud crowds. Instead, we use beautifully crafted modern games as the ultimate icebreaker to help you meet incredible new friends in a safe, engaging, and radically welcoming environment. You never have to worry about memorizing rules or making the first move—our expert Game Masters handle all the heavy lifting, teaching, and hosting so you can focus entirely on laughing and socializing. Whether you arrive with a full crew or walk in completely solo, we always save an open seat just for you. Join the community, pull up a chair, and discover the absolute best way to expand your circle in Dayton!
Our gatherings aim at one goal: genuine, face-to-face connection. You do not need to know the rules to join in. Our expert Teachers run games at our events to help you learn the ropes and start playing immediately.
We reclaim our shared spaces.
Step away from the screen, grab a drink, and join the resistance today.

Blood on the Clocktower
JOUI Wine Bar, 117 E 3rd St,, Dayton, TX, USTHIS IS A TICKETED EVENT WITH EXTREMELY LIMITED SPACE. To purchase tickets, please buy them here: TICKETS
Step into a night of mystery, deception, and immersive play with Blood on the Clocktower, a thrilling social deduction game set in a haunted village plagued by a hidden evil.
Guests are encouraged to arrive in period-inspired attire and fully embrace a character of their own creation, adding to the theatrical atmosphere of the evening. Perhaps you’re a debutante, brooding aristocrat, virtuous governess, cunning criminal, mysterious foreigner, spiritualist, or something entirely your own…the choice is yours.
Upon arrival, you’ll be randomly assigned an alignment. Some players are townsfolk working together to uncover the truth, while others are secretly aligned with darker forces. Guided by a storyteller, the game unfolds through alternating day and night phases. By day, players debate, investigate, and vote to execute a suspected player. By night, special abilities come into play behind the scenes, revealing clues or shifting the course of the game. Even if your character dies, you remain an active participant, able to speak, strategize, and influence the outcome until the end.
This is a long form, fully immersive experience. Your ticket includes a curated charcuterie spread to enjoy as alliances form, suspicions rise, and secrets unravel. Joui’s bar will also be open with a full selection of wine, cocktails, beer, and non-alcoholic options available for purchase.
Whether you’re a master manipulator or a devoted truth seeker, expect an evening of intrigue, creativity, and unforgettable twists.
