SideQuest (18-25s Melbourne)

## NEW 18-25s Group for 2025/26 in Naarm/Melbourne

## Main Quest: survive adulthood. Side Quest: find your crew.

I study and work p/time in events and created this platform both as a newbie in town but also to ramp up my events skills and meet good people along the way.

About SIDEQUEST
Are you 18–25 and looking for people to vibe with? Whether you’ve been in Melbourne forever or just moved here, this group’s about finding friends and good times - collective interest-based connections over collective hangoevers. Maybe you’re into drawing, Marvel marathons, DnD, board games, live theatre, PC gaming or just love exploring the city and hunting down cheap eats — if that’s you, you’re in the right place.

### The End Game

SideQuest Crew is for the 18-25 crowd who want to meet up (no pressure for regularly just choose what interests you), chill out together and try new adventures to connect with others with similar interests. We try to discourage cliques and want an inclusive friending space. So far it's been great and everyone has been welcoming

### What to Expect - most events will be Melb CBD or inner city

After a few months of many varied events, we are reeling back the schedule to focus on low pressure boardgame meet ups most regularly scattered with a different style of meet up once a month depending what is on. We have a great $5 boardgame deal and D&D table that can be as regular as you want it to be and will also look at monthly. There is also a Discord once you attend a irl meet up.

IMPORTANT LEGAL & GROUP RULES STUFF

1. Only RSVP if you plan to come – change it if you can’t make it.
2. Repeat no-shows may be removed – it’s about respecting others’ time.
3. Be friendly and respectful – this group’s about making connections.
4. Post event ratings are based on if the event gave good opportunity - it's not Yelp reviews and the higher the stars the more the group attracts other future friends

This group is a casual, volunteer-run social group but ticketed events particularly need commitment to honor your RSVP.
