What we’re about
## 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? Meetup is great but sometimes it feels like most groups are alot older so a space for younger people to hang out outside of bars, join the side quests, or even jump into other MeetUp events together. 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
✏️ Casual drawing sessions (all skill levels welcome)
🎬 Movie meetups
🎮 Casual gaming nights/PAX meet ups/Bartronica or arcades/DnD or board games for those interested
🌆 Scavenger hunts & exploring Melbourne/ pop culture trivia nights at Fortress
🍕 Foodie Quest Cheap eats + low-pressure hangouts
Plus maybe some volunteer opportunities later in the year (there are homeless support/charity events/clean up aus events to be involved with too!)
Totally LGBT+ friendly and international students and all will be made to feel welcomed. If you’ve been searching for connections that blend creativity, a little geek culture and Melbourne adventures — bring your awkward, shy or extra, best self along.
IMPORTANT LEGAL & GROUP RULES STUFF
- Only RSVP if you plan to come – change it if you can’t make it.
- Repeat no-shows may be removed – it’s about respecting others’ time.
- Be friendly and respectful – this group’s about making connections.
- 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.
