This is a proper old school games night. Think Scrabble, Connect 4, cards, trivia-adjacent chaos, the games you grew up loving and somehow stopped playing. No apps, no swiping, no small talk performance. Just you, a few new faces, and something fun to focus on instead of "so, tell me about yourself."

How it works

We match you into small teams based on what you're actually looking for, whether that's new friends, new connections, or you're just here to win at Connect 4 and see what happens along the way. You'll play up to three rounds across the evening, so you'll get real time with more than one group. No forced rotations, no speed-dating buzzer. Just games, laughs, and the kind of conversation that happens naturally when you're not trying to have one.

What to expect

• Doors from 7pm at Pyrmont Bridge Hotel

• Welcome drink and a quick, easy intro (no standing up and introducing yourself to a room, we promise) - Included in your ticket price

• Up to 3 rounds of games with people matched to you

• A relaxed, playful vibe from start to finish

Who this is for

Sydney singles 40+ who are done with the apps and ready to actually meet people. Whether you're looking for a partner, real mates, or both, you'll find your people here.
