Get to know other adults through relaxed conversations about city breaks, cooking together and favourite podcasts. Mark shared interests as you chat, with the freedom to pass on any square.
How to run this activity
Adult event only, with opt-in, comfortable conversation; never require flirting, physical touch, sexual details, relationship history, orientation disclosure or contact-information exchanges. Provide ways to pass and leave without explanation.
Facilitator guidance
Give a brief example, encourage introductions and let players pass without explanation. Check the group size and participants’ interests when choosing squares; consider a 3×3 board for smaller groups. On a 5×5 board, aim for a line of five rather than a full card; adjust the winning line for smaller boards. Keep participation voluntary and never require personal disclosures.
Safety and inclusion
This game is for adults only; use inclusive language and keep participation voluntary. Let players skip questions, and respect their consent, privacy and personal boundaries. Never pressure anyone to disclose private information about their identity, relationships or personal contact details, or to explain their boundaries.
