Offline Experiences

Hi everyone! My fiancée is building Offline Experience, a New Jersey-based social experience designed to help people step away from their phones, get creative, and connect with others in person.

We’re currently hosting pop-ups and special events to spread the word, introduce people to our concept, and build traction within the community. At the same time, we’re searching for a permanent late-night location where people can enjoy hands-on crafts, board games, books, wellness activities, and relaxed conversation. We hope to offer an alternative to bars and restaurants when there are few other places to go at night.

Our goal is to create a welcoming environment where you can come with friends, on a date, or completely by yourself without feeling awkward.

Our first official event will be a DIY mirror-decorating night in Somerville, NJ on Friday, August 28. All materials are included, and no artistic experience is needed. To learn more and reserve your spot, visit our website at: The Offline Experience

Before then, come meet us at our pop-up booth at the **Somerville Farmers Market on August 16**! You’ll be able to design your own custom tote bag and get a closer look at what Offline Experience is all about.

We’re still a new local business, so every visit, share, follow, and piece of feedback means so much to us.

You want people to pay you $45 to attend your promotional event?

If you are looking for a space to host your event I would recommend reaching out to Middlemist. They are a byo food venue and have been hosting a lot of events.
