Board Game Speed Dating

Skip the small talk. Roll for initiative.

Speed dating, except instead of interviewing each other over a drink, you're playing quick, easy games while our host keeps everyone rotating. The games do the work: you'll know more about someone from ten minutes of a co-op game than an hour of "so what do you do?"

Age-banded tickets keep the room compatible. After the event, mark your matches (romantic or "I just want a game-night friend," both count) and mutual matches get connected by email the next day.

Questions

What if I'm bad at games?

These are 5–10 minute party-weight games. Nobody's calculating.

What's the gender/orientation format?

The 4th Thursday runs hetero-banded. A queer edition runs monthly; watch this page for the date.

What if the numbers are uneven?

We balance ticket pools in advance; that's why sales close early.

Do I find out my matches that night?

No; next morning by email. Less pressure in the room.

Refunds if I can't come?

Seats are transferable but not refundable. Give your seat to a friend in the same band, or let us know and we'll move you to the next night.
