Package Game at Anarkist Beer & Food Lab

Package Game at Anarkist - free Christmas tradition: Thursday 17 December 2026, 17:00–18:00, Anarkist | BEER & FOOD LAB, Odense. Admission is free.

Thursday, December 17, Anarkist hosts a traditional package game (pakkeleg) in the best old Danish tradition. Long tables will be filled with packages, cold beer, and Christmas spirit, and entry is free - you just need to bring one gift package that you'd be happy to win. Anarkist will also add a few extra gifts to the pool.

Doors open at 4:30 PM, where packages can be handed in and registered. The game starts at 5:00 PM and lasts about an hour. Come in good time so everything is ready when the game begins. The bar and kitchen are open all evening, so there's food and beer available both before and after.

The rules are simple: bring a package and hand it in when you arrive, so it goes into the shared pool. Before the game starts, the rules are explained and packages are distributed from the common pile. Then the actual game begins, where dice rolls determine who can take and steal packages - and the packages you're holding when time runs out are yours.
