We’ll kick things off with Valentine’s-themed games, including Queer Pong, icebreakers, and playful activities. This is the mixer — it’s flirty, fun, and makes talking to people way easier.

As the night goes on, we’ll move into speed dating, weaving it in naturally based on timing and the energy of the room. Nothing is rigid or rushed. We make sure everyone gets quality time to connect, and if you’re a few minutes late or need a moment to settle in, that’s totally fine. We’ve got you.
