Blind test by Victor, Culture Bar-Bars festival, at MUSICAL, Lille
MUSICAL
On Tuesday 24 November 2026 at 20:00 the bar MUSICAL at 59 rue de Flers in Lille hosts a music quiz called Blind test by Victor, as part of the Festival Culture Bar-Bars. The listing says Victor is back with a new blind test whose secrets only he knows, and that there will be goodies to win. Participation is free, and the listing adds that it is always free. It states that registration happens on the evening itself, on the spot, so there is no need to book ahead. The evening runs from 20:00 to 23:00. A blind test is a game of guessing music, played in a bar setting, and it is easy to join alone, since a quiz night gives strangers an instant reason to talk, compare guesses and cheer on each correct answer together. «C'est toujours gratos et il y aura des goodies à gagner» Starts 20:00, ends about 23:00. Source: OpenAgenda — FESTIVAL CULTURE BAR-BARS (open data). The listing says the blind test is free, with registration on the night at the venue, from 20:00 to 23:00.

Drag blind test with Enbystial at Sarrazins, Lille
Sarrazins
On Wednesday 25 November 2026 at 20:00 the bar Sarrazins in Lille hosts a blind test led by the drag performer Enbystial, as part of the Culture Bar-Bars festival. The listing is very short: it gives the title and a link to the performer's page, but no description of the questions, the format or the music. Even so, a blind test with a host in full performance mode promises a lively evening, and the format works well for solo visitors, since you can join a team on the spot or listen from the bar. The listing gives no price, so check with the venue before you go. The bar is in the old Sarrazins street, close to the centre of Lille, and the evening runs from 20:00 to 23:30, so you can arrive in the middle of the quiz and still take part in the second half. «dans le cadre du Festival Culture Bar-Bars.

Kouwiiiiiz: video game news pub quiz at Caf&Diskaire, Lille
Caf&Diskaire
On Thursday 26 November 2026 the bar Caf&Diskaire in Lille runs Kouwiiiiiz, a quiz presented by Thomas B and based on the current news of video games. It is part of the Culture Bar-Bars festival, and the listing calls it a big event not to be missed. The listing gives no price, no rules on teams and no information about booking, so ask the bar if you want to know whether you can join a table on the night. The page is in French, and the venue also has a social media page linked from the listing. A quiz is one of the best formats for coming alone: you can join an existing team, there is always something to say between questions, and the topic gives you an instant conversation with strangers. The quiz starts at 20:30 and the end time is estimated. «KOUWIIIIIZ» Starts 20:30, ends about 23:00. Source: OpenAgenda — FESTIVAL CULTURE BAR-BARS (open data).

Le Bistrot de St So
Quiz host Claudy runs a music blind-test from 8 pm, followed by a DJ set, at the bistro of the Gare Saint-Sauveur arts venue. Entry is free. Blind-tests are played in teams, so arriving alone usually means being adopted by a neighbouring table.
Host a game night
No table near you? Set one up in a minute.
Create a free invite (pick the Game night template), share the link, and the people who say yes bring the snacks. This is the whole host kit:
- A public table — a café, a bar's back room or a library room beats your living room for strangers.
- Two or three short games that take one minute to explain; save the four-hour epic for later.
- Cap it at 4–8 players per table and say so in the invite.
- Beginners welcome, in writing — it is the line that gets newcomers to say yes.
- Fixed end time, two to three hours, so leaving is easy and coming back next time is too.
