Today we’d like to introduce you to Arrianna Marie and Babs Bauduy.
Arrianna and Babs, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
New to the city and not really knowing anyone, we both (Arrianna & Babs) attended mutual friends’ event, D’usse Palooza alone. Finding it testing to meet people in this new place, we were excited to be in a familiar vibe; having both attended D’usse Palooza in our native cities LA (Arrianna) and NY (Babs). We let our hair down and met on stage dancing and having a blast.
Upon meeting, both being social butterflies, we vibed instantly. Transitioning from the corporate finance background to creative direction and event production, Babs felt there were more opportunities in Atlanta to do so. Being an entertainer (actress, host & professional dancer), Arrianna moved to Atlanta with hopes of new growth and focused in the arts and entertainment. We connected on our mutual love for the arts and interactive events; both being hosts and event producers who love game nights, we thought that’d be a perfect way to add to Atlanta’s social scene. Six months later, That Game Social was born.
That Game Social is your favorite adult game night out, packed with interactive games and themes; tailored to bring connectivity amongst the crowd. We have since partnered with Atlanta Cigar Week, Herficionado, Trilogy Cigar Lounge, Kasfacts, Alibi, and Halo Lounge. Some of our sponsors include Martell, Uncle Nearest, Talero Tequila, Hendrick’s, Mishka as well as Flor de Cana. We recently launched an LA Edition in Hollywood, with New York coming early this year. We can’t wait to show Atlanta what we have in store! More games! More fun! More social!
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
It has been a fairly smooth and exciting road thus far, the main challenge we face has been finding our ideal venue.
Please tell us about That Game Social.

If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
At this point, there’s nothing we’d do differently. As it stands, we do our best to maximize the most of each opportunity and seek advise from experts and peers when challenges arise that we are unsure of.
