# Event Details - **Event Name**: Serious Games Night - **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 10 Nov, 2025 at 07:00 pm – Mon, 10 Nov, 2025 at 09:00 pm - **Event Description**: This involves some participants playing the role of homeless individuals, others are core services like housing, health support, employmentAbout this EventThe Serious Game - Pathway Paradox explores serious topics via playful interaction. This allows a creative and strategic space to think through the barriers and challenges in our housing and support system. By engaging with these dilemmas in a game setting, participants are able to think creatively, generating solutions for finding employment while living in temporary accommodation and navigating housing options while experiencing homelessness.The Pathways Paradox was created and tailored to Social Bite’s ambitions of ending homelessness by highlighting systemic contradictions. Inspired by the experiences of many individuals in the flagship Jobs First programme, the game illustrates the Catch-22 situations people often face—needing a home to find employment, while simultaneously needing employment to secure a home. The Pathways Paradox sets up a simulation where some participants play the role of individuals who had recently become homeless. Others in the room become the core services that provide housing, skills development, health support, employment assistance, and more. The ‘decision makers’ set number of resources and specific criteria for allocating them, while also having some discretion to adjust decisions based on individual circumstances. The objective of The Pathways Paradox is to help you, the player, be in the shoes of a homeless person, to see if you can effectively secure stable housing and high qualityemployment.Will you find it simple?Come and have a go and seehow successful you will be. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/exeter/serious-games-night/100001856813452019 - **Event Categories**: health-wellness - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Exeter - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: The Mint Methodist Church Centre - **lat**: 50.72178659999999 - **long**: -3.5345016 - **full address**: The Mint Methodist Church Centre, Fore Street, Exeter, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Serious Games Night - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/40a0e7ba02c78537918db5bdee679a6964bc011dde5fca9ffda48075c3784a66-rimg-w1200-h600-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1762023581 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Serious Games Night being held? - **A:** Serious Games Night takes place on Mon, 10 Nov, 2025 at 07:00 pm to Mon, 10 Nov, 2025 at 09:00 pm at The Mint Methodist Church Centre, Fore Street, Exeter, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Serious Games Night? - **A:** Serious Games Night is organized by Mint Methodist Chuch Centre. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Serious Games Night", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/40a0e7ba02c78537918db5bdee679a6964bc011dde5fca9ffda48075c3784a66-rimg-w1200-h600-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1762023581", "startDate": "2025-11-10", "endDate": "2025-11-10", "url": "https://allevents.in/exeter/serious-games-night/100001856813452019", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "The Mint Methodist Church Centre", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Fore Street", "postalCode": "EX4 3AT", "addressLocality": "Exeter", "addressRegion": "EN", "addressCountry": "GB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "50.72178659999999", "longitude": "-3.5345016" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "This involves some participants playing the role of homeless individuals, others are core services like housing, health support, employment", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-26", "availabilityEnds": "2025-11-10", "validFrom": "2026-04-26", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/exeter/serious-games-night/100001856813452019" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-26", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-26", "url": "https://allevents.in/exeter/serious-games-night/100001856813452019", "price": 0, "name": "Free - Donations" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Mint Methodist Chuch Centre", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/mint-methodist-chuch-centre/24982577", "description": "Who We AreWelcome to our Church and Community Centre.
