Word from the sand

Real reactions, the day after.

  • Genuinely the best Saturday I've had in months. When's the next one?
    Andro, Team Triomf
  • How does this not already exist in Barcelona? I'd come back tomorrow.
    Alba, Team Sagrada
  • Such a great idea. Walked in not knowing anyone, walked out with five new friends.
    Marc, Team Güell
  • Not even a sports person, and I had the best afternoon. Already counting down to the next one.
    Lina, Team Tibidabo

How it works

Active people. New friends. One Saturday afternoon.

  1. 01

    Just show up.

    Solo or with a friend. Bandana, flag, five teammates. Sorted in 5 minutes.

  2. 02

    Play hard.

    Surprise beach games, real teamwork, plenty of cheering.

  3. 03

    Leave with a crew.

    Medals, pica-pica, and a group chat that lives past Saturday. The day ends. The people stay.

The Social Sports Games

A mix of games. A lot of surprises.

Beach challenges, team relays, trust games, water games, balance tasks, coordination tests, speed runs. A rotating selection you'll never see twice. Different every edition. Loud every edition. Every game is designed to make you connect, compete, and laugh with your team (and a little with the rival teams too. No promises about who you'll text first on Sunday).

Sample challenges. The actual line-up stays a surprise.

  • Blindfold Beach Maze poster

    Guide your teammate through the course using only communication.

  • Bucket Brigade Splash Relay poster

    Move water down the line with speed, rhythm, and teamwork.

  • Cone-to-Cone Catch Relay poster

    Pass, catch, rotate, and keep the sequence alive.

  • Team Transport Challenge poster

    Move as one team through a sandy course. Coordination beats speed.

  • Seated Beach Tug-of-War poster

    Strength matters, but timing and coordination win.

  • Water Balloon Volleyball poster

    Launch, catch, and return without bursting the balloon.

  • Tunnel Ball poster

    A fast team relay where timing and transitions decide everything.

  • Pass the Cup (Balloon Edition) poster

    Pass the cup down the line without dropping or popping.

What to bring

  • A big bottle of water. Non-negotiable. Barcelona in July is brutal sun, you'll thank yourself by 17:00.
  • Sunscreen. Re-apply between games. The sand reflects everything back at you.
  • Swimsuit + a top you can move and get wet in.
  • Your social + sports skills. We bring the rest.

The bandana system

Bandana. Flag. Team. Chant. Loud.

5 colors. 5 Barcelona landmarks. 5 teams of 6. We mix everyone up beforehand to balance nationalities, energy and accents (so no team accidentally ends up being five French people speaking only French). Every team is a healthy chaos of new faces. You grab your bandana, walk to your flag, and five teammates are already there waiting.

Each team carries a crest and a bit of lore. Standings track across seasons — see the Champions ledger →

Triomf

[confirm] They march in like the arch — loud, ceremonial, impossible to ignore.

Sagrada

[confirm] Unfinished on paper, unstoppable on sand. They just keep building.

Güell

[confirm] Weird angles, tiled chaos, a strategy no one else can quite decode.

Tibidabo

[confirm] Play from above. Cold-blooded finishers with the whole city at their back.

Forum

[confirm] Home team of the beach. They know every grain — good luck moving them.

How an edition runs

Hour by hour. Whistle to last drink.

Every edition follows the same arc: arrive at 17:30, final whistle at 20:00, then we walk together to a beach bar until late.

  1. 17:30

    Welcome tent

    Five flags by the volleyball net on Platja del Fòrum. Find your colour. Bandana on. Meet your team of six and cook up a chant. Come with a friend or solo — say hi to whoever's nearest. Games start at 17:30 because Barcelona's best light does.

  2. 18:00

    Opening ceremony

    Format walkthrough. Each team gets one minute to introduce themselves. Loud, fast, no overthinking.

  3. 18:15 – 20:00

    The games

    Surprise format. Real teamwork. Points tracked. A rotating selection of beach games designed to cut through language barriers, get you moving, and have a stupid amount of fun. One big finale.

  4. 20:00

    Medals + pica-pica

    Stupid awards, group photo on the sand. Then we walk to [confirm chiringuito name] for free tapas (drinks on you, 1€ discount included). Stay as long as the vibe holds. Maybe an after-party.
