Predatory pricing structure…
Their website makes cancelling very difficult. I was charged for an annual subscription which I did not want (£59.99). They send me about 15 different excuses as to why they couldn't issue a refund despite their website saying I would be eligible for a refund 14 days after purchase. I do not trust this company at all. Storiboard or PLY - I'm out.

Brunch - my first event
Recently attended my first event, a brunch, met with 4 other people and thoroughly enjoyed the time we all spent together. Interesting individual and group conversations. I look forward to booking another event in the future, it was a lovely way to make new connections.

Hey Sarah,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed your first brunch and had such a positive experience connecting with the group. It's fantastic to know the conversations were both interesting and engaging and that you're looking forward to joining us again.
Our members tell us that after attending three or more events, that's when the magic really starts to happen. You'll continue meeting new people while also recognising familiar faces, making it easier to settle in, build meaningful connections and develop genuine friendships over time.
If you need any help picking your next experience, please don't hesitate to reach out to me over WhatsApp or email and I will personally assist you.
Sending love,

Matched on age alone, not interests. Disappointing.
It’s good they have a choice of different activities and I’ve always met perfectly nice people but with nothing in common. Ply is Storiboard Club rebranded. If I’d realised that beforehand I wouldn’t have signed up at twice the cost of the Storiboard fee. Plus you have to pay a deposit on some of the activities on top of the subscription fee. They don’t match you on personality/interests at all so the questionnaire is futile. You’re matched on age. That’s it. And it seems there are regulars so you’re probably going to end up running into the same faces. Not what I was looking for at all. Shame really. Their marketing promises something different.

Hey Claire,
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely sorry PLY didn’t feel like the right fit for you.
We did want to provide a little more context around a few of the points you mentioned. PLY is indeed the next chapter of Storiboard Club, and we’re really proud of that evolution. Since rebranding, we’ve worked hard to improve the overall experience; from thoughtful matching and curated events to member support and partnerships with venues across the UK.
In terms of activity payments, these go directly toward the experiences themselves. We work closely with our venue partners to secure heavily discounted rates exclusively for PLY members, while the membership itself covers matching, curation, community features and ongoing support.
We’re sorry to hear the matching didn’t feel aligned for you. Age is only one factor we consider alongside preferences, availability, and group dynamics, but we know connection is personal and not every event will click straight away. That said, many friendships do grow from seeing familiar faces over time, which is also why we’re proud to have regular members returning week after week.
For members who prefer meeting entirely new people at each event, our customer success team is always happy to make a note on your profile. Just reach out via WhatsApp or email and we’ll do our best to tailor your experience.
I really appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback, as it genuinely helps our team continue to grow and improve.
Sending love,
Olivia from PLY
Brilliant
PLY (formerly Storiboard) has been excellent. I have participated in a wide variety of their events (Karaoke, Darts, Dinner, Bowling, Film Club, Drinks) and the vast majority of people I have met have been friendly, positive, kind and supportive. Their events have allowed me to come out of my shell and build my confidence. I even organised a get together to celebrate my 40th Birthday at BAM Karaoke with a group I had previously met. I highly recommend giving it a go. What do you have to lose?

Been a member since last year
Been a member since last year. Been to most of the events but am always like trying the new ones. I have met same friends who I'm still in contact with now. Only downside is I live in zone 6 east london towards essex. Not many people I've found from this area which is a shame and now the bowling has moved there are no events east and some of them can be quite far to get to.

Hey!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review, and for being part of our community over the past year - we really appreciate you!
I’m so happy to hear you’ve enjoyed our events and, most importantly, have made friendships with people that you’re still in touch with now. That's our goal here at PLY, so it means so much to us to see it happening.
We completely understand your points around location and travel. Feedback like yours is incredibly valuable and really helps us when planning future events and experiences, as we always want to make things as accessible and convenient as possible for everyone.
Please feel free to drop me a message on WhatsApp or email our lovely team as we’d be more than happy to make a note on your profile about your location preferences. This way, we can help ensure you’re attending venues that are more local to you, especially for our drinks, brunch and dinner events, where we work with a wider range of partner venues across London.
We’d love to see you again soon!

This platform claim to use the initial questionnaire to find the like minded people, the reality is it does not. The people are all very randomly selected and there were nothing in common between any of the attendees there. Also, 80% of the attendees already know each other - making it less meaningful for new joiners to be able to get to know each others - there was zero efforts from people to introduce each other as they also hang out a couple of times. The restaurant assigned were below average in service and food quality, it’s my first time being with storiboard but I don’t think I want to be trying another one.

Hey Panpan Kuankuanpanpan,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I really appreciate it. I’m sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet the standard we aim to provide.
Our personality quiz plays an important role in helping us match people with others who are similar in age and outlook. We tend to have a mix of new and returning members at each event, and you’re absolutely right, when people form genuine friendships through our platform, they naturally want to come back. That’s something we’re proud of as it reflects the meaningful connections being made. At the same time, I completely understand how this can sometimes feel difficult for newcomers. We’re actively working on improving this by introducing new icebreakers, conversation prompts and hosting styles to create a more inclusive atmosphere from the get go.
I’m also really sorry to hear about your experience with the restaurant. We carefully select our partner venues and continuously review them based on member feedback. If a location no longer feels welcoming or enjoyable, we take that seriously and look for better alternatives - your experience truly guides those decisions.
Since your review, we’ve rebranded and launched a new website, which you can check out at plysocial.com. If you’d be open to giving us another try, I’d genuinely love to help you find an experience that feels like the right fit with people just like you.
Sending love,

Second time as fun as my first!
This week I went to the bowling evening and Film Club and enjoyed both socials so much! I had been to a Film Club some months ago and really enjoyed it but then I was away from London so when I was back this week I wanted to see if I could make new friends. I met some really friendly and genuine people both evenings and felt able to connect and feel comfortable quickly. We had a lot of fun bowling in my group and afterwards we all felt happy to swap numbers or Instagram. The Film Club also I really enjoyed, again everyone was new to me but again found able to feel comfortable and able to talk easily with my group and those from other groups! Before and after the film we all hanged out in the large lounge area and the cinema has a full bar so we could all get drinks in the lounge before and after the film if we liked. I’m already looking forward to trying the darts evening and I’d really like to try one of the dinner socials too!
Also want to thank again the StoriBoard team who are so responsive and helpful to WhatsApp texts that I have sent when unsure of something. They’ve helped me to feel encouraged and welcome and that’s really helped me as I can sometimes struggle with social anxiety. I’m really glad I’ve pushed myself and turned up and started to meet some really cool people and hopefully make some genuine friends :)

Attended an event after seeing an ad online. It was a meetup at one of the bars they partner with in my local city. Easy to get to, very informed so knew what you were doing and the staff were aware of the event as well which helped reduce some of the stress as I was the first present in my group.
A good little group, unfortunately we had 2 no shows and it was all men which I was a little disappointed with as like a mix but I believe this was due to the no shows. Nevertheless we had a good time and I got the Instagram of one of the fellas so definitely works.

bad experience with website but good customer service
Updated: they removed the free trial subscription I was meant to have for my inconvenience. Messaged and no replies
Had a bad experience with the website where the process to cancelling your subscription was totally obscure.
I wrote a complaint through several channels and they promptly remediated for me, so despite a bad experience I was pleased with the customer service.

AVOID AVOID AVOID
I signed up in December 2025 for what I understood to be a one-off, three-month trial with Storiboard. During that period, I attended one meal event, where six people were expected but only three attended in total, which was disappointing.
I also attended a drinks event, where seating arrangements were pre-assigned on arrival. I was directed to a small upstairs room with uncomfortable seating, which did not provide a particularly welcoming or enjoyable experience.
As a result, I chose not to attend any further events during the trial period.
Three months later, I was automatically charged for a further three months. When I queried this and requested a refund, I was informed that the membership had converted into a rolling subscription and that a no-refund policy applied. This was not my understanding at the time I initially signed up, and I found the terms insufficiently clear.
Overall, I did not feel the service represented good value for money, and my experience did not meet expectations. I would recommend that anyone considering joining ensures they fully understand the subscription terms and cancellation policy before signing up.

Hi Claire,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We really value when guests speak up - honest input is how we grow and improve.
We've taken your points on board as a team, and we'll use this to reflect on how we can do better.
On seating: our pre-booked tables are arranged to help create well-matched groups based on personalities and interests - something that's a key part of the experience for many of our members. That said, we always aim to keep things flexible, and guests are absolutely welcome to move around and mingle if they prefer.
On the subscription side, the rolling renewal details are laid out at checkout and in our FAQs with a cancellation link, but we're glad our customer support team were able to resolve this directly for you.
We're so sorry your experience wasn't as you'd hoped and we'd love the chance to welcome you back in the future.
Best wishes,
