⚠️ For 1st June Meetup, seating will be assigned based on the chess piece symbol that you have chosen upfront via google form 🏇👑♗♙

On the event day, you can expect a fun and relaxed atmosphere where you’ll meet like-minded people, enjoy great conversations, and engage in exciting activities—all designed to help you connect effortlessly and have a memorable experience.

Not to worry if you do not know how to initiate a conversation. We have prepared questions for you to help break the ice and keep the conversation flowing effortlessly.

🎯 How It Works:
1️⃣ Choose Your Chess Symbol: When you sign up via the Google Form, select your favorite chess piece symbol – maybe you're a Knight 🏇, a Queen 👑, a Bishop ♗, a Rook ♖, a King ♔, or even a Pawn ♙!
2️⃣ Seating Arranged by Symbol: Once everyone arrives, we’ll assign seats based on your chess symbol – it’s a fun way to connect with new people and get the conversations flowing! 🤝
3️⃣ Mingle and Play: Throughout the event, you'll rotate between different seats and mingle with others who share the same chess symbol. It's like a chessboard of new friendships and amazing conversations! 🔄
4️⃣ Strategy and Fun: If you’re feeling bold, challenge your fellow players to a quick game of chess using **Chess.com** or any other strategy game – or just enjoy the social vibes! 🎉
5️⃣ Timed Chess Challenge with the Host!: Feeling competitive? Challenge the host to a 5-minute timed chess game! If you beat the host, you’ll walk away with a fabulous door prize!

🔄 Why 20-Minute Rotations?
The 20-minute rotation is designed to keep the event engaging, dynamic, and fun while ensuring that everyone gets a chance to meet multiple people without feeling stuck in one conversation.
✅ Keeps Conversations Fresh & Exciting – Long enough to make a connection, but short enough to avoid awkward silences or getting stuck in a dull chat.
✅ Maximizes Social Interactions – With around 4-8 people per table per round, you’ll meet a wide variety of participants without it feeling rushed.
✅ Avoids Social Fatigue – 20 minutes is the sweet spot: Not too short that it feels like speed dating, not too long that you get exhausted from talking.
✅ Encourages Deeper Conversations Later – If you vibe with someone, you can always reconnect during the Free & Easy session (last 30 min) or even after the event!
✅ Perfect Timing with Lau Pa Sat Clock Tower – The chime rings every 15 minutes, making it a natural cue to rotate. 🎵⏳
