About

Forget awkward introductions, come along for an evening of games designed to help you meet new people naturally!

1-to-1 can put a lot of pressure on one conversation. So we do things differently. ⬇️

Instead of sitting opposite one person and trying to keep a conversation going, you'll meet people in small groups, with a game giving you something to do and talk about.

🎯 How it works

You’ll rotate between 5 tables and 5 different games, meeting a new group each time. Each table will have a quick, easy-to-learn game.
Think:
🎨 Pictionary
🧱 Jenga
🤥 Two Truths and a Lie
📱 Heads Up
🃏 Prompt cards and more

You get 30 minutes on each table. When the bell rings, it’s time to switch tables and meet a new group.

The games give you something to do and talk about, so there’s no standing around wondering what to say.

🔬Why it works

Small groups + a shared activity + repeated opportunities to meet people means the conversation doesn't have to do all the work.

You can play, laugh, contribute, listen, move on and meet someone new. If you click with someone, you've got the chance to go back and chat afterwards.

The best connections aren’t always made by asking “So, what do you do?” sometimes they happen when you’re busy playing Jenga and laughing at how terrible someone’s drawing is. 🎲

💪 Good to know

🙋 Coming solo? Most people do, so you’ll be in good company. We’ll get you settled into a group when you arrive.

🔄 Been before? Come back and meet a completely different mix of people.

🚫 Not a dating event: No matching, no swiping and no pressure. Just a room full of people who want to meet someone new.

🤝 Respectful vibes only: Be kind, inclusive and respectful of everyone else in the room.

Come for the games, stay for the people you meet. 🎲
