NYC Fleaux Games & Networking

Tue, May 5, 10:00 PM

From NYC High-Energy Networking Games

**Description:** Fleaux Games (pronounced "Flow Games") is a rhythm-based, body-first networking experience built around one simple truth: people show up differently when they're actually having fun. We gather to play. To collaborate. To figure out who we are under pressure — and laugh about it after. **What we'll actually do:** This isn't your average networking event. We might play kickball, wall ball, tennis with brackets, or something else entirely — the specific game doesn't matter. What matters is **what happens while you're playing.** Each game is color-coordinated and strategically designed around **goal-setting and accountability**. You'll partner up (or team up), say your goals out loud, and connect with people who'll actually remember what you said. This is performance art meets group work meets field day for adults who are serious about their lives but tired of taking themselves so seriously. **Who this is for:** Young professionals and people in New York who are tired of being busy with no real community. People who know they need accountability partners but don't want another stiff networking mixer. If you moved here and realized "damn, I don't have any friends," this is for you. **What to expect:** → 2 hours of high-energy games, movement, and real connection → Color-coded collaborative challenges that double as goal-setting exercises → A chance to say your goals out loud and meet people who'll hold you to them → Childhood energy meets adult ambition It's Cinco de Mayo. It's getting warm outside. Let's go outside and wake up the version of yourself who believed anything was possible. **What to bring:** Comfortable athletic clothes, water, an open mind, and a willingness to do some work. Come curious. Come ready to play. Come ready to build something. **How to find us:** J. Hood Wright Park (Fort Washington Ave & 173rd St, Washington Heights). Look for the group gathering near the field entrance. We'll be the ones moving — and probably laughing. Come to the Haus.
