Cornwall may be most renowned for its holidays and beaches to most, but it’s not just all sand and sleepy villages! Here’s a list of some of the Cornish based content creators that we enjoy following at Happy Piranha, to help satisfy our geeky itch.

Unlike some larger cities, where things to do are thrown at you around every corner, on first impressions, Truro might not seem like it has much going on. However in Cornwall (and life in general), the good bits aren’t always in-your-face. Luckily, we’re local, so have already done some searching for you. 

Here’s by no means a comprehensive list of places to go - just some of our regular haunts, plus a few ideas, so that you can have a trouble free trip to Truro.

Many an outcome has been decided by a roll of the dice. As time’s gone by they seem to have shifted from conveyors of fate to fine-tuned fairness - ‘Maths Rocks’ as the D&D crowd fondly refer to them. But where did dice come from and why do we seem to be so enamoured with them? We took a look at how dice have changed.

From a performer at a carnival or circus, to the IT obsessed, unfashionable and socially inept,  to someone who’s just really enthusiastic about something, the word ‘geek’ has evolved over the ages from a pejorative to a badge of pride. We take a little look at the definition of a geek and ask ourselves, what does it really mean to be geeky?

If you've haven't heard the news already... we're going on an adventure next door... and it's going to take a year!

We've signed the lease for the building next door. It'll allow us for more store space for the Happy Piranha store  as well as room for a gaming café and a function room or two upstairs which we're aiming to open for early 2022.

We'll use this blog to keep you informed of how the project is going.
