The DPA is teaming up with Captain Fats to host a fantastic Switch-Off and Switch-It-Up Games Afternoon.

Andy (Captain Fats), the game's developer, is a lovely and fun guy and will be hosting an afternoon of different antics. Creative thinking games, group games and quizzes with the primary objective to take time out, have fun and meet new people.

It is hosted in a popular bar/restaurant, so you can chill out, order food and grab a drink while we either play along or watch the fun unfold.

If you are...

• overwhelmed by the overabundance of online social events, bored or disenchanted with the constant streaming of online games and events.

• open to learning new things and love creativity.

• finding it difficult to switch off and having no real downtime or things to do in that downtime.

Let's get together to hang out, play some good new-fashioned board games and group games and have some FUN!!!

This event is hosted by The DPA in collaboration with Andy from Captain Fats games company.

Andy always wanted to be a Writer, so he studied Maths at Sheffield Hallam University and became a Painter and Decorator. He did other things in the meantime, like a bit of stage acting, and once started a band called Six Out of Ten - making fast, smooth, handsome rock.

One day, Andy and his brother Bob accidentally created a family party game called "Game Off". They'd been inventing silly games for their own family for years, so it kind of made sense to have a proper go. Anyway, the game turned out to be a rip-roaring success, so they invented a few more - as well as a company called Captain Fats Limited. Honestly, you couldn't make it up. Today, they have twelve games in five languages, sold over 100,000 copies and have even appeared on TV ("Buy It Now" - aired on Channel 4 and Netflix).
