American mahjong in Chicago at Happy Camper Wrigleyville. All playing materials are provided.

So Bam Fun hosts a Beginner Mahjong Lesson and Open Play at Happy Camper in Wrigleyville, Chicago. Expect pizza, a year-round patio, a rooftop bar, and colorful decor a few blocks from Wrigley Field.

Never played? Grab a Beginner Lesson. We'll teach you American Mahjong from the very beginning: the tiles, the National Mahjong League card, the Deal, and the Charleston. You'll be playing real games by the end of the night. No experience needed.

Already know how to play? Open Play is a table at your level with other players, no teaching. Come solo or bring friends. Most people leave with a few new ones.

Questions

What ticket type should I purchase?
  • Beginner Lesson: You've never played. We teach you from the start.
  • Guided Open Play: You've taken at least one lesson. Play with an instructor nearby to help.
  • Open Play: You already play American Mahjong on your own. No teaching.
Can I sit with my friends?

Yes. For lessons, tell your instructor when you arrive how many people you're with and you'll be seated together. For Open Play, we keep everyone on one order together where we can, and you can add friends' names at checkout.

What is the cancellation policy?

Up to 48 hours before the event, cancel from your tickets page (the link is in your confirmation email) and you get your money back straight away, minus the card processing fee. Inside 48 hours tickets can't be refunded, but a friend can go in your place, or you can release your seat so someone on the waitlist can have it.

Can I switch to a different date or ticket?

Yes. Up to 48 hours before the event, press Swap tickets on your tickets page and pick another event or ticket. You pay the difference, or we refund it (minus the card processing fee) if the new tickets cost less.

I want to buy another ticket, but it's sold out. Can I add one?

No, but you can join the waitlist on this page and we'll let you know if a spot opens up from a cancellation.

What if I'm running late?

Tables start on time, so please come a few minutes early. If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, you can't join and your ticket isn't refunded.

What materials are provided at the lesson?

Everything: tiles, mats and cards. Just bring yourself.

Can I take the card home?

The cards stay with us, but you can buy your own from the National Mahjong League at nationalmahjonggleague.org.

What type of Mahjong do you teach?

American Mahjong, played with the National Mahjong League card. It is different from Chinese, Hong Kong or Riichi Mahjong.
