More Than a BBQ — A Community Movement
B-MAD Gaming-Night
B-MAD Indoor Gaming Night is more than just a weekly games program — it is a movement built on love, unity, respect, and community spirit. Founded by African Youth Collective Inc., B-MAD Indoor Gaming Night was created to bring young people, families, and the wider community together while promoting peace, wellbeing, positive mental health, and strong community connections across Australia.
At B-MAD Indoor Gaming Night, it is not only about playing games — it is about building relationships, creating a sense of belonging, supporting mental wellbeing, raising awareness around Alcohol & Other Drugs (AOD), and empowering young people to grow into strong leaders within their communities.
Through indoor activities such as chess, checkers, table tennis, dominoes, card games, and other recreational games, participants have the opportunity to connect, learn, and engage in a safe, positive, and welcoming environment. The program encourages teamwork, communication, problem-solving, leadership, and healthy social interaction while strengthening community ties.
Through connection, conversation, and community engagement, B-MAD Indoor Gaming Night creates a supportive space where everyone feels valued, respected, included, and empowered to reach their full potential.
