Hosted at Bragging Rights AmusementsIn partnership with Alachua County Emerging Leaders
This is a low-pressure, high-energy way to meet new people without pretending you enjoy networking. You don’t need to be good at foosball. You don’t need a strategy. You just show up, play a few quick games, and keep moving.
How it works.
Everyone checks in through the scoring app. The app randomly pairs partners and opponents each round and keeps track in the background. No numbers, no sign-up sheets, no awkward logistics. You play, rotate, meet new people, repeat.
The point isn’t winning. The point is mixing.
Ground rules.
Beginner-friendly on purpose.
No snake shots.
Co-ed. All skill levels welcome.
Short games, fast rotations.
If you’re waiting, you’re encouraged to wander, chat, or play something else if you purchase an unlimited play wristband for $15.
Format:
Each round gives you a new partner and new opponents. You’ll play with people you didn’t arrive with and probably wouldn’t have met otherwise. The app keeps things organized so the night stays loose.
At the end, the app tallies things up and we do a short, playful playoff for anyone who wants to stick around and watch or jump back in.
Prizes:
A few Bragging Rights gift cards for top finishers.
Some fun side prizes for memorable moments.
Nothing that turns this into a try-hard situation.
Cost:
Foosball is free and open to anyone.
Optional upgrade: $15 gets you unlimited play on 250+ arcade games while you wait between rounds. Totally optional. No pressure.
Why this works:
It gives people permission to talk without forcing conversation.
It breaks the ice by doing something together.
It feels social, not transactional.
You leave having met actual humans, not just collected business cards.
