Icebreaker Matchmaking Boardgame


Details
We meet at Panera Bread, then we play an icebreaker matchmaking boardgame.
The game has 4 phases. The first phase is generating questions and takes about 10 minutes.
Players write questions that can be answered on a scale of zero to 100. Here's 3 examples: On a scale of 0 to 100, how much do you like blank? How many siblings do you have? Are you a dog person, cat person, or both? (Answer 0, 1, 2, or 3.)
Next, the Game Master collects everyone's questions in a way that anonymizes the writer's identity, then the GM combines the questions to make a questionnaire.
Players veto questions they object to. This is done anonymously.
Once the vetoed questions are removed, players answer each question. If you answer zero, it means you skip that question. You're basically filling out a Scantron, but instead of 5 bubbles, there's 101 (because there's 101 integers between zero and 100).
Finally, the Game Master collects everyone's answer sheet, does some math, and returns 2 things: 1) a similarity score between you and every other player 2) a list of questions that you and the other player both gave positive points to.
Bonus: you can tell me that you swipe right on another player, and if they tell me independently that they swipe right on you, then I'll tell you two, "It's a match." Swipe right means you want to contact them if they want to contact you.
