đ Playground for Adults #1
Champel, Geneva, CHđïž Grab your tickets here đïž
The Playground is arriving in Geneva for the first time ever!
â
Playground for Adults is a fun, interactive, and thrilling outdoor experience designed for you to play & meet awesome people while doing so! Itâs like a 3-hour mini summer camp (but for grownups). đ
As kids, the play opportunities were endless. As adults, we rarely get to play and some of us even forget how to.
â
Well, we adults deserve to play too! Why?
âđ§ Relieves stress & boosts creativity
đ Improves relationships & your connection to others
đââïž Keeps you feeling young & energetic
đȘ Sneaky exercise- like a workout in disguise
đ Itâs a damn good time! (isn't that enough?)
â
đ± WHAT TO EXPECT
âWe start with a short & sweet intro followed by a few light shenanigans to warm up. We'll play a total of around 10 epic games! Some physical, some musical, some childhood classics, and some a little bit ridiculous.
âExpect big smiles, belly laughs, and playful connection
with an awesome group of 30 fellow âgrown-up kids.â đ
â
â"I love the idea of taking 3 hours to just say F*CK IT and play - what I love even more is there are at least 25 other people out there who want to do the same" - Sofia
â
đŽHOW MUCH IS IT?
The cost to register is CHF 30 (early llama) - CHF 35 (general llama) and includes the following:
đ€žââïž 3h hours of facilitated games & activities guided by an experienced "play coach".

đ WHAT THEY SAY
đŁïž âThis event is pure magic, like escaping into a parallel universe for 3 hours, where everyone is open to discovering the magic in each other. I truly wish we could carry the energy of this event into our daily lives.â - Laura
đŁïž âI showed up at EPIC LLAMA's Playground for Adults" last summer, unsure what to expect. The 3 hours of throwback activities could only compare to a few of beers in terms of social lubricant, making it super easy to talk and meet with all the other wonderful people at the event. There was no "hinicetomeetyouwhereareyoufrom" pressure, just having a good time. Can only recommend and will absolutely be back next summer đâ - John
đŁïž âI honestly had no idea what to expect but I came out feeling lighter and wanting to play even more! Thanks for an wonderful afternoon.â - Diego

F*ck the Small Talk has traveled the world from Berlin, London, Lisbon, to Buenos Aires, and is now in Geneva!
WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?
FTST is an out-of-the-box social experience where strangers come together for an afternoon of meaningful, fun, and deep conversation. Itâs also a different & cool way of meeting new people by getting a bit out of your comfort zone and skipping the small talk!
Join us for games, talks, and connections with friends you havenât met yet. Join if you get annoyed after being asked what you do, where you are from, and how long you've been in Geneva every single time you meet someone. If you feel that there are better questions in life, this is the place for you.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
We start with a short & sweet intro talk followed by a few light-hearted group games to warm up. After that, we split you up into small groups and start with the conversation rounds (with 3-4 people). We'll have awesome question cards that will guide the flow of the conversation. You'll be guided by an experienced host (Adrien, you'll love him!) who'll make sure everything goes smoothly.

WHAT THEY SAY
âThis is the kind of activity humanity needs every weekend. Thank you for all.â - Sonya
âF*ck the Small Talk changes the narrative from "Where are you from?" to "When was the last time you laughed uncontrollably?" and I think that's beautiful.â - Monika
"Itâs a wonderful experience, itâs like being a kid again, when you were at the park, playing with other kids, and just decided you were going to be best friends for the next hours. Maybe youâll never see those kids again. But that hour was amazing because you both opened up and trusted each other." - Sara

(we ain't your typical meetup)FAQ
âą Can I come alone?
Of course, everyone does!âą Can I be late?
Please don't! Late arrivals will disrupt the floooooooow.âą I signed up but never got an invite. Why?
We usually get a high volume of sign-ups, yet we like keeping it cozy & only invite around 30 people. Please try again next time if you do not receive an invite - no hard feelingsâą Is this a networking or dating event?
Nope! Think of us as the anti-networking and anti-speed dating event. Thereâs no pressure, no pitches, and no cringy icebreakers. Instead, we create spaces where strangers can connect through fun & meaningful conversations. Itâs all about authentic connection, no business cards or romantic expectations required. (doesnât mean it canât happen, itâs just not the intention!), . âš

CâEST QUOI LE CONCEPT ?
FTST, c'est une expĂ©rience sociale hors du commun oĂč des inconnus se retrouvent le temps d'un aprĂšs-midi pour des conversations fun, profondes et authentiques. Câest la maniĂšre la plus cool de rencontrer de nouvelles personnes en sortant de sa zone de confort... et en zappant les banalitĂ©s !
Rejoins-nous pour des jeux, des échanges et des connexions avec des amis que tu ne connais pas encore.
C'est pour toi si tu satures qu'on te demande ce que tu fais dans la vie, d'oĂč tu viens et depuis quand tu es Ă GenĂšve Ă chaque fois que tu rencontres quelqu'un. Si tu penses qu'il y a de bien meilleures questions Ă poser, tu es au bon endroit.COMMENT ĂA SE PASSE ?
On commence par une petite intro courte et sympa, suivie de quelques jeux de groupe légers pour s'échauffer. Ensuite, on vous répartit en petits groupes (3-4 personnes) pour les rounds de discussion. On a des cartes de questions géniales pour guider le flow. Vous serez accompagnés par un hÎte expérimenté qui veillera à ce que tout se passe pour le mieux.COMMENT PARTICIPER ?
