Tech-focused competitive socialising company The Social Gaming Group has continued its expansion in Germany with the opening of a new venue in Dortmund, in partnership with hospitality stalwarts GA Bars.
The Dortmund venue, which opened on 3 September, is the second German venue to open under Chipper Social, GA Bars’ operating name in the region, following Hamburg on 15 August and represents the latest step in the brand’s wider rollout.
The venue opens with 13 Flyby Darts and 6 SHUFL Tech units: tech-powered darts and shuffleboard experiences developed by The Social Gaming Group that take classic bar games to new heights.
They blend precision camera tracking and immersive game modes, supported by integrated tutorials, to deliver engaging, next-level experiences for players of all skill levels – combined in a cosy atmosphere in central Dortmund with three bars, 18-hole mini-golf and karaoke.
Both locations have been created to welcome customer groups including friends, social groups, corporate teams, tourists, after-work groups and celebration bookings. It is designed to appeal to customers looking for an activity-led night out that is easy to understand, fun to play and inclusive.
The Social Gaming Group is joining forces to create Chipper Social with GA Bars, an existing partner and established Nordic hospitality and leisure operator.
This is GA Bars’ first expansion into Germany, working once again with The Social Gaming Group because of the latter’s high-quality gaming products, robust technology and experience in helping operators build commercially successful competitive socialising venues.
