TEAM-BUILDING SESSIONS MODELED ON TV GAME SHOWS — YOUR SHOWDOWN

TEAM-BUILDING SESSIONS MODELED ON TV GAME SHOWS — YOUR SHOWDOWN

Fingers on buzzers for the starter question! What do you get when you mix 90s-era game shows with contemporary corporate team-building events? No idea? Well, alright: we’ll forgive you if Your Showdown wasn’t the first thing that entered your head. After all, this Berlin startup only began hosting its challenge-filled company days a few weeks ago (it launched in June 2023). Run by game-mad Maximilian Muhle and co-owner Philipp Dieckmann out of an airy industrial building in Tempelhof, this offsite concept puts a proverbial spin on the corporate event, pitting employees against each other for a series of challenges that put brains, bravery and strategy to the test. An all-powerful game master leads the sessions, which last 2.5 hours and can be booked for up to 100 people divided into teams of four. The idea: participants gain new skills vying for top place while polishing those all-important teamworking and leadership abilities. The precise nature of the games will be revealed on the day: the game master will pick activities depending on the group playing (more than 100 games are offered). You will collaborate to put together the pieces before ousting the weakest link and taking your chances on the wheel of fortune. If you’re a team leader and want to give your colleagues a challenge, this mini retreat might be just the thing to take them outside of the box. Or perhaps into it? (On top of it?!) The game master will reveal all…

ERROR MUSIC FESTIVAL: ELECTRONIC SOUND AND TECH FOR YOUNG PEOPLE — RECOMMENDED BY CHARLOTTE KEHL & JANA MARIA DOHMANN

ERROR MUSIC FESTIVAL: ELECTRONIC SOUND AND TECH FOR YOUNG PEOPLE — RECOMMENDED BY CHARLOTTE KEHL & JANA MARIA DOHMANN

“Error music”. But don’t delete! Take part, even if you are well beyond your adolescence. The project Error Music, launched by producer and singer Yosa Peit together with Acud macht neu and Junge Tüftler, has been creating protected spaces for experimenting with sound and tech explicitly for girls, trans and non-binary kids in Berlin since 2020. This festival is a chance for everyone to poke around in a beautiful, queer world of computing and electronic music. Learn about the pioneers and their tools (like synthesizers or theremins) and see one of the Error Crew performances in the club. Intended for teens, the many workshops held throughout the Acud site offer the opportunity, among other things, to create a track in ten minutes with producer Perera Elsewhere. The documentary Sisters with Transistors is not to be missed, with the wonderful Laurie Anderson as narrator. This good and important project is to be celebrated. Come by and join in – or recommend it to your younger sisters, cousins and neighbors.

HOLIDAY COMING UP? — UPGRADE YOUR LUGGAGE AT THE HORIZN ARCHIVE SALE

HOLIDAY COMING UP? — UPGRADE YOUR LUGGAGE AT THE HORIZN ARCHIVE SALE

Whether monogrammed, classic black or in full color, suitcases are synonymous with travel and are an essential part of any vacation. No wonder, then, that in recent years they have been given an upgrade and are more advanced and ergonomic than ever: lightweight, practical and customizable. We have come a long way from the basic two-wheeled trolley. Horizn Studios‘ sustainable and smart luggage is just the thing for your daily commute or long-haul trip. The label has been busy innovating: they collaborated with NASA astronaut Alyssa Carson to create a line of space luggage, and in 2021 made the world’s most sustainable luxury luggage with a unique plant-based case that can be repaired instead of replaced, meaning it never ends up in landfill. The robust and forward-thinking products are made from vegan materials and shipped without single-use plastic, and are 99 percent waste-free in production. Leftover pieces are collected and recycled before being sent to other brands’ production chains, giving them a second life. Running until 24.07.2023, the Horizn Archive Sale at the Berlin flagship store in Mitte offers you the opportunity to snap up display pieces and discontinued cases before they go.

LET’S DO LUNCH — AT THE CEE CEE CAFE: MUNCHIES FOOD TRUCK WITH SANDWICHES & SALADS

LET’S DO LUNCH — AT THE CEE CEE CAFE: MUNCHIES FOOD TRUCK WITH SANDWICHES & SALADS

Since June 2023 our passion project – the Cee Cee Cafe – has been in full swing and so far we’ve been able to cross quite a few things off our list of achievements: we’ve had great parties, collaborated with local stores and most importantly, connected with people. We’ve connected with you and have enabled you to connect with each other in a relaxed atmosphere, drinks in hand. But besides events and sundowners we are still a cafe, which means you can get a coffee to go in the morning, come by in the afternoon for a piece of cake and an iced matcha latte or browse through our small store shelf which offers a fine selection of accessories, books and shirts from Labels. As always, it’s in keeping with our motto: support your locals. And we have some news regarding our food: we want to offer you more than just coffee and cake during the day, and that’s why we’ve teamed up with Munchies this week. Does that name ring a bell? Hm, maybe because you were at our opening party and ordered tacos from their red and white food truck? We couldn’t get enough of the tacos and cool design and have given them a permanent spot outside the shop.

For our Daily Lunch (Mondays to Fridays), Joschka and David have put together a varied menu of sandwiches and salads. Among them is the classic Grilled Cheese(s) Sandwich with cheddar, emmental and Bergkäse, topped with pickled onions. “Make it a menu” by ordering yourself a bag of chips and a cold drink to go with it. We have also made sure there is enough space: in addition to our benches and tables, there is now additional seating on our new concrete islands. Whether you come alone or with all your friends, we have plenty of space! And then there’s always our little corner area where you can make yourself comfortable. Food, cold drinks and picnic blankets are taken care of – the only thing you need to bring yourself is an appetite and maybe a little bit of curiosity – you’ll get plenty of Cee Cee sneak peeks here, because even we need a little time out from the office every now and again…

BIBIMBAP, GIMBAP, BINGSU AND CROFFLES — CLASSIC KOREAN DISHES AND TRENDING SWEET TREATS AT MOAMOA

BIBIMBAP, GIMBAP, BINGSU AND CROFFLES — CLASSIC KOREAN DISHES AND TRENDING SWEET TREATS AT MOAMOA

You can find a bibimbap on almost every corner of Berlin – but at this place run by Whisu Yu and Sun Kyoung Ahn, you’ll find some very unusual desserts besides the  Korean classics. Moamoa, located on Breslauer Platz in Friedenau, is both restaurant and cafe. With an aroma of freshly cooked rice and kimchi, the space features a wooden counter behind which almost everything is prepared. In summer, the space expands with outdoor seating. Bingsu ice cream is something you rarely find in Berlin, but it is a traditional dessert in Korea. Based on water and condensed milk, this ice cream has a shaved texture created by a special machine. The bingsu is garnished with a wide range of toppings: matcha powder, red, sweet bean paste, soy bean powder, nuts and/or mango. Croffles, meanwhile, are a somewhat newer trend. Made of croissant dough shaped into a waffle, these treats are served with vanilla ice cream and grated sweet brown cheese. If you prefer savory dishes you can choose between gimbap rolls, Korean soups and bibimbap.

Particular emphasis is placed on traditional cooking and preparation: the owners sought to stick as closely as possible to family recipes, meaning the kimchi and the chilli powder for fermenting the Chinese cabbage and radish are both homemade. For the latter, the pair pick, dry and grind the pods themselves. Moamoa means “to gather” and that is exactly what is done here: gathering and curating culture. So, if you’re in the mood for tradition but also something new, then stop by Moamoa. We advise you to come with a big appetite: you’ll need room for the unusual and delicious desserts!
