Social Alchemix (Live!), formally known as A Cocktail Party Social Experiment, is a theatrical hybrid of game night, storytelling, and boozy voyeurism wrapped in the framework of the Scientific Method.

Question: Can we create an analog experience in which a group of strangers can get to know each other in a deeper and more meaningful way?
Hypothesis: Yes
Procedure: Armed with cocktails and a party game (Social Alchemix), a group of strangers navigate a cocktail party, skip the small talk, and get into the good stuff.

Dedicated to cultivating curiosity and facilitating meeting new people, Social Alchemix (Live!) is based on an alchemical conversation card game Wil created, Social Alchemix, which is available for purchase.

Social Alchemix (Live!) ran as a live event as A Cocktail Party Social Experiment from 2019 - Feb 2020 at Chelsea Music Hall in NYC. The event was featured in an Emmy award-winning episode of Immersive.World, as a part of PBS’ All Arts programming. Check out the episode here (segment begins at 17:05).

In 2020 its name was changed to Social Alchemix (Live!) and in 2022 Social Alchemix (Live!) returned to in-person events. Check for upcoming public events here.
