Roll for Romance ( AGE 25-39) AKL Oct
Cakes n Ladders - Board Game Cafe, 173 Symonds St, Eden Terrace, Auckland, NZ15 attendees from 2 groupsSpeed dating…but make it actually fun.
If you’ve ever sat through an awkward first date or cringed your way through small talk, this one’s for you.
We’re swapping interview-style dating for games, laughter, and effortless connection. No board game experience needed, just show up, grab a drink (first one’s on us 😉), and let the games do the talking.What to Expect:
🎲 Fun, easy games - think Giant Jenga, party classics & quick rounds (no Monopoly marathons here!)
💬 Rotating mixed-gender groups. You'll stick with your same-gendered group, and rotate around to meet everyone of the opposite gender.
📩 Matchmaking follow-up—you tell us who you clicked with, and we’ll connect you after💡 90**% of attendees at our last event made a connection.** But worst case? You just had a great night out with fun people.
We manage the gender ratio for these events. If your gender is showing as sold out, join the waitlist!
You'll get a notification if there are cancellations or if additional tickets are released.Kind words
