Are you angry? Have you just had it up to here? Well, there’s no reason to rage out and flip a table — actually wait, yes there is. Introducing Toronto’s most recent and strange fad: you guessed it, table flipping!

Now, you don’t necessarily need to be angry to flip these tables. They are available to flip any time at Ye Olde Dandy’s Table Flippery! Located at 617 Gerrard St. E., Ye Olde Dandy’s has set up shop in Chinatown and is excited to aid in all your table flipping needs.

If you are in the area and you just need a quick table flip-fix, your best bet is to go with the “basic table flip” option for $5. But sometimes an empty table flip just doesn’t cut it. Am I right? If you want to up your table flipping experience for another $5 dollars, staff will set up a full table for you, covered with items like board games (i.e., Monopoly: a classic cause for table flipping rage), cassette tapes, Lego, Jenga, small toys, etc.

But what if that still just isn’t cutting it? The advanced table flip is the most expensive on the menu at $20. You might want to put on the safety goggles for this one. It includes a full dining table set-up, complete with dishes and breakable items.

If you’re not into table flipping, Ye Olde Dandy’s Flippery does offer another option: the “mystery rooms.” The mystery rooms are booked for parties of no more than four, to participate in a whodunit-type of mystery game. There are three different themed rooms.

“Our idea for the mystery room was to make sort of a real-life Clue game where we’d have the lights go out, our own private investigator come in, explain the situation and leave it to the participants to figure it out in 45 minutes,” explains co-owner Mo Riazi. Their original idea was to focus on the mystery rooms, but a friend suggested adding the tables into the mix, and the rest is history. 

“Table flipping has been around for a while, and we saw it being exhibited at last year’s Fringe Fest,” says Riazi.

“We’re definitely not claiming it was our idea, but we saw how well it did at Fringe, so we thought, ‘Hey, this could be something people could have fun with.’ ”
