what's coming up

you don't need to know how to play. it gets taught at the table in about five minutes, and most of the room is learning it with you.

take the connection quiz
how we plan who you sit with.
takes about ten minutes, once. it determines who you sit with, and after that your seat is worked out for every gathering you come to. there's a three minute version at the door if you turn up without one.
you don't have to book anything to take it. plenty of people do it first, to see who they'd be sat with, learn their connection type, and pick a night from there.

how the night runs
nothing about it is left to you.
-
first 10 minutes
you're greeted by name
a host meets you at the door with a name tag. the tags do most of the heavy lifting, because they show you who you can talk to and what you can talk about. the first half hour keeps social games running, so nobody stands at the edge of a room working out who looks approachable.
-
minute 15
we set the tables
your seat comes from the connection quiz, so nothing about your table is random. you light a candle, and a spark card opens the table with a question actually worth answering.
-
minute 30
the game gets taught
about five minutes, and then you start meeting people sideways, through how they play, think and strategize. it gets you somewhere real faster than another round of icebreakers.
-
around 2 hours
leave knowing people
the candles come down and most people are still talking. you leave knowing actual things about actual people.
what people say afterwards
the part we can't write ourselves.
honestly, one of the best organized events I have been to
the intimacy, intentionality and care that went into the experience made it more than just a game night
made it so worth leaving the house on a Monday
- 9.4
- average guest rating, out of ten
- 80%
- come back for the connection, not the games

- felt comfortable opening up at their table
every number here comes from our own post-gathering guest surveys.
we don't publish anything we haven't measured.
how we're different
what you're really choosing between.
free game nights
a room with a game in it. everyone self-sorts by which game they already know, the regulars already know each other, and nobody hosts the conversation.
top golf, bowling, pickleball
they want your thursday and they hand you back a score card. connection might turn up on its own, eventually, if you go enough times.
everyone on the same game, chosen by us. seated on purpose. a real person hosting from the moment you walk in. you leave knowing people.
“the intimacy, intentionality and care
