How does this mixer work?

We’ll bring together locals for a speed dating like mixer to make friends, meet dates, and possibly find play partners.We take the stress out by pairing individuals up in different conversation rounds with the goal of meeting at least 5 new people at the event. When you check in you’ll fill out a nametag (you can use whatever name you want to go by, real or scene) with an assigned color. This is how you’ll be grouped to move through the conversation rounds. You can also fill out another nametag with topics you’d like to talk about to help spark conversation. We’ll then go through five 10 minute rounds of conversation and by the end you’ll have met 5 new people and gotten to know them a bit better.

How does the invite work?

If you’d like to attend then RSVP as “Going” or “Interested,” and our group will reach outl.You’ll be asked to confirm your attendance. Once confirmed the official location will go out the day of the event. This is designed to ensure people are committed to attending get the information. We understand life happens so if you need to change your RSVP please let us know so we can invite others. No shows will not be invited back for up to 6 months. The event is free but if you can please help support our awesome location with food or beverage purchases. In house food and a variety of drinks – alcoholic, non-alcoholic, and THC infused drinks – are available for purchase.

Safety 

This mixer is designed to bring new explorers and known adventurers together. While we will do everything in our power to help you stay safe, we are not going to say we can guarantee your safety. When meeting new people, take every precaution and assess your risks. And, if you’re unsure, ask. Greeters will be on hand to answer questions, to moderate, and to bounce people if they can’t be nice.
