Fireclub

We Do Exciting Stuff

Remember when your parents told you Santa isn’t real? Or perhaps you found out yourself? That’s life in Vancouver – after you turn 18. All of a sudden, the fun was just taken away! Replaced by the typical everyday grind – work, study, hit the gym, figure out food, walk outside, the endless doom scroll, work or study more, or both, sleep, but not enough, wake up exhausted and repeat.

Let’s be real, Vancouver is known to be one of the most boring cities ever, and even our government threw in the towel. No sh*t they legalized all the drugs. They pretty much said, “welp, sorry you’re stuck here in Borecouver. Here’s a way to check out. Hopefully you’ll find it more interesting in another dimension”

Remember that buddy? Let’s just call him Frank. You could be stuck in the lamest of spots – even the library – but if Frank was there, it’d instantly morph into chaos. You’d open up books to random pages just to roast the characters, writing the dumbest of things on sticky notes and slapping them on the walls, and making the loudest fart sounds to see if any of these nerdy NPCs on their laptops were actually alive. When you’re rolling with Frank, you never knew, anything could go down.

That’s what Fireclub is all about. We got Frank powers. We’re the crew who looks at the same tired Vancouver scenery and turns it intpo something awesome. That dull patch of grass that people don’t do anything with beyond walking their dogs? That’s a Gel blaster Warzone, pure mayhem just waiting to happen.

We turn “meh” into “hell yeah!” We’re bringing the adventure that you’re gonna look forward to being invited to!

Here’s to name a few of them:

Archery Tag

Ever get that feeling where you’re glued to your phone and think, “Man, I wish we could rewind to a time before these things took over?” Flip phones. Simpler times. Same with guns – before they came along, it was all about the skill of firing a bow and arrow…

It ain’t as easy as point and shoot anymore, smartphone or gun. Now you’re managing your arrows, knowing exactly how many shots you’ve got left, and making damn sure each one counts!

Campfire

While the rest of Vancouver is stuck inside, staring at a lonely meal of bland pasta and canned tomato sauce they just warmed up on the stove, you’re out here with us, roasting wieners over the fire and cracking up about who-cares-what under the stars!

Laser tag

Remember the last time someone said “It’s getting late for me, I gotta go home”. Like, BRUH. It’s not even 7:30 yet!  For the rest of us that know better, nightfall means game time… time to hit the forest and unleash full-scale galactic warfare!  

Gel Blaster Wars

It’s a sunny day out, and while the basement dwellers are going to war as “elite soldiers” playing call of duty with their imaginary discord friends and raving over their K/D ratio*, you’re out here in a real warzone

– running, ducking for cover, taking real shots and playing with real people, while they’re spamming their cheese dusted keyboards under orange greasy fingers.

*(might as well mean kraft dinner ratio too)

Night Hiking

Some people step onto the treadmill in the evening after work, quickly going nowhere. Others grab a flashlight and head to the trails for a real adventure. Guess which one actually lives a little?

And much more!

Vancouver Ain’t Boring anymore

Why grow up?

Remember the days of youth soccer? Maybe you sucked, maybe you were decent, but that didn’t matter – it was always a laugh kicking the ball wherever, messing around on the field with your buddies at practice. Same with basketball, hockey, lacrosse – just good times with your crew. Then graduation hits, and poof. Gone.

Suddenly, it’s this BS choice: either join some hardcore adult league with a bunch of try-hard older dudes who go to war like it’s the World Cup, or join the dad-bod squad huffing and puffing their way through a casual game.

Oh yeah, there’s one more option. Just forget it and move on. Bury yourself in textbooks, or focus on your job, or more likely – both, and pretend to enjoy all that “grown-up” BS you’re really just “expected” to do. That colourful, no-stress fun with people your age? It had a good run.  Welcome to the monochrome world of adulthood.

Why should all that good stuff expire at 18? That colorful fun with your peers shouldn’t be a thing of the past, and we’re here to reignite it. Forget the forced “grown-up” routine, and take a break from the ages 18-122 world – we offer exciting activities with other young adults who are ditching the seriousness and diving into awesome, real-world experiences together.

Ready to ditch the black and white? 

“Let’s get Food”

When was the last time someone asked you that for the 5th time in a row, to the point where you’re thinking “Again? Seriously, is that all you can think of? Is the act of moving around just completely off the dinner table from now on?”

And besides “food”, the social highlights in this “exciting” city? Just as thrilling. It’s the same scene: the packed clubs, the noisy pubs where you can’t even hear yourself think, and those forced “meetups” where it’s the same old monochrome people (yes, literally old 👴) asking the same brain-dead stuff: “What’s your job?” “Cool.” “What are you studying?” “Alright.” “How old are you?” Whatever. “Where you from?” Uh, the same boring city you’re from unfortunately…

But what if, instead of getting some overpriced food under the hum of flourescent lighting inside a boring restaurant, you’re out here, under the stars, bringing whatever food you want to the campfire and roasting it over the crackling flames,

and instead of answering your tenth “what do you do” from someone who’s as old as your dad, you’re diving headfirst into the wild-west of conversations around the campfire, stuff that would make your average 30+ year old spontaneously combust,

And instead of grabbing some overpriced drinks, standing around trying to hear your buddy over all the club noise, you’re frantically running around in the forest with your team trying to find and capture all 6 purple glowsticks before the other team snatches them first!

And… drinks? HA! Who needs drinks to have a good time? That’s for the guy who has two fun modes: either hammered or high. Like, jeez, learn to laugh on your own, right? At our activities, we’ve jam packed them with so much fun already that we don’t need that extra garbage to have a blast – and you’re right there with us!

I mean, when we were kids, did we need to get sloshed or perhaps only a little tipsy, just to have some spontaneous fun? NO!  Chaos on the playground, tag and grounders, monkeying from one bar to the other trying not to get tagged. Water balloons flying, and water guns spraying, getting soaked freezing cold be damned. And sneaking through the woods trying not to get caught while trying to snatch the flag – like your life depended on it…

Then we turned 18 and graduated. And all that good stuff? Gone.  Completely adulterated with being “serious” about everything, having to “schedule plans” and making ourselves “busy” glued our dumb “smartphones”.

You know how, when the first smartphones just spawned out of nowhere people just freaked about them giving you cancer? Well… just scroll through your feed for not even five seconds. See that garbage? They weren’t wrong.

And why take stuff so seriously? Turning a simple fun game of kicking a ball into a net into a tactical nightmare with a hundred FIFA rules is like watching some try-hard eat pizza with a knife and fork, all prim and proper while chewing with his mouth closed.

On the other hand – keeping it chill and casual when it’s meant to be that way – that’s how real fun goes down!

And when things are kept casual, who needs those awkward icebreakers anyway? Around the campfire we don’t care about your job title, what high school clique you rolled with, or any of that other forced “introduce yourself to the class” type of “icebreaker” stuff that they invented for HR meetings. Let’s ditch the weird corporate bonding exercises have fun together instead!

And who was the genius that decided fun had to have an expiration date of 18 years? Like it was that dented can of watery tomato sauce at the back of gramma’s cupboard?

No wonder you heard her say “getting old sucks” – people just stopped doing all the fun stuff that puts colour into our lives!

We’re unleashing the chaos of pure, un”adult”erated fun. When you’re with other people who are just as down to jump right in and have a blast as you are, no matter how grownup you’re supposed to be, that’s how real good times happen. Besides, being young at heart is easy while we’re still young adults!

So what are you waiting for?

Grab a water balloon and soak someone already!

NEw Events all the time

What’s the schedule?

Remember being a kid? Sun’s out, knock on the door, instant adventure with your buddies. Seriously, why does having a good time now have to feel like a military operation? Schedules, calendars, working around everyone’s “busy” lives and the everchanging weather forecast?

 

We’re keeping it simple: good weather, good times, no overthinking required. If the sun’s out tomorrow or the next, we’re sending out a text. Be ready to roll and rediscover that effortless, just-for-the-hell-of-it spontaneous fun.
