and then they do.
we host curated game nights designed to make meeting new people feel easy, real, and actually fun.
how it works
each gathering features a shared game with small groups matched for chemistry and conversation. we pace the night with prompts and rituals that make connection feel natural, even if you're an introvert.
ligare isn’t about dating, networking, or even games. It’s about creating a space where you can laugh, belong, and skip the awkward small talk entirely.

why we do it
community used to live in the spaces between home and work. now we live on screens. we move fast. and we often connect through apps instead of eye contact.
ligare means to bind. we’re here to rebuild the kind of gathering space that brings people together, face to face, in real time, with just enough structure to make it easy.
it’s a modern ritual: designed to make connection and community easy and fun again.
people are wired for connection, but most of us don’t have a place for it.
how we connect:
our largest monthly events, open to everyone; we play multiple games, teach classics and new standards, weave in more magic, and give you chances to really connect with a full room of curious, kind humans
your team, your friends, your community, our magic and expertise at designing for connection and play. Our private gatherings are designed to get your people talking about things that really matter, and connecting, over the shared ritual of play. Our Connection Suits give you a new language to talk about what makes you connect and feel seen by those around you.
more intimate events over dinner, where you connect with one table of people with a shared background; we supply games and our signature Spark Cards for discussion to make sure you leave feeling like you deeply met someone new
