Bring more depth and surprise intoyour social life

Adult life can get very repetitive. The same people, the same places. The same conversations, the same activities. Détour creates unexpected ways to meet, think, talk and connect. For curious minds who want to break out of the usual.

The usual route

Most social encounters follow the same path.

How's work? How about this weather we are having? What are your plans for the weekend?

Perfectly reasonable questions. Rarely the beginning of a conversation you will remember tomorrow.

Our lives can follow familiar routes too: make the sensible choice, keep progressing, avoid getting lost and always know what comes next.

But the most interesting conversations—and sometimes the most interesting decisions—begin when something takes an unexpected turn.

The familiar route
  1. Stop 01How's work?
  2. Stop 02How about this weather we are having?
  3. Stop 03What are your plans for the weekend?

Route change

Take the conversation elsewhere.

Détour creates room for that turn.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF SOCIAL EXPERIENCE

Designed to take you out of the routine and challenge your mind.

We want to create a more meaningful way to meet, think, talk and connect. We do it through shared meals and other experiences designed to bring people together, make them feel genuinely connected and discover something new.

Each experience has its own format, but the intention is always the same: spark unexpected conversations that make you grow while you have fun and connect with like-minded people.

Before you come

Let us answer your questions

  • No. You may make useful professional connections, but the experience is designed around people, ideas and real conversation — not pitching or collecting contacts.

A different direction can begin with a different conversation.
