Roll for Romance (AGE 25-39) CHCH
Cashmere Club, 50 Colombo St, Christchurch, NZSpeed 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:
🎲 Five 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 afterwards.
💡 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
