With a group of friends

Chosen on one criterion: it gets cheaper with more people, or it does not work without them. Karaoke rooms and badminton courts are priced by the hour for the whole room or court, so four people split it further than two. Hotpot, barbecue and shellfish are only worth ordering by the tableful. A five-a-side pitch short of players is not a game. Ordered by how easy each is to arrange, with the last three taking a whole day or a whole night.
