Join your fellow LGBTQIA+ folks for a social evening of board games at Marché Board Games Cafe. We have access to the games library at the cafe. If you have a game that you want to share, please feel free to bring it along. We play all sorts of games - card games, party games, strategy games - and we're happy to teach new players. Groups for games usually form between 6:30-6:45, so it's important to try arrive on time to ensure you're allocated to a game/group. Anyone arriving late may have to wait for a game if all groups have started. The cafe has drinks and food available. Check out their menu here: https://mbgcafe.com.au/menu.pdf We only accept payment at the time of booking to reserve your spot. This means you will need to pay the booking amount via PayPal at the time of booking to confirm your spot. If you can't make it to the event, please ensure you get in touch by messaging the event hosts or emailing rainbowbg.melbourne@gmail.com at least one day before the event, and we can reverse your payment via PayPal. The cafe does NOT have a liquor licence. Consuming alcohol on the premises is illegal, and will result in any members being banned from future events. See you on Thursday!

## 💘 KISMETRIX \| True Connection [Ticketed Event](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/may-28-game-on-the-kismetrix-trivia-night-konar-bar-tickets-1988470004311?aff=oddtdtcreator) ### GAME ON — THE KISMETRIX TRIVIA NIGHTDrinks, Banter & Real Connection Hosted by **KISMETRIX \| True Connection** 📍 Konar Bar — Private Dining Room (Downstairs): 483 North Road, Ormond Vic 3204 📅 Thursday, 28 May 2026 🕖 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM (Venue open late) #### BACK. UPGRADED. AND A WHOLE LOT OF FUN. Never done trivia? Perfect. Neither has half the room. This isn't about what you know. It's about who you end up laughing with by the end of the night. The KISMETRIX Trivia Night is back — and this year we've stepped it up. We now have our own in-house host and an exclusive private room just for Kismetrix guests. Same great energy from last year, but more intimate, more personal, and a whole lot more fun. No speed dating. No awkward mingling. No standing around with a drink wondering what to say. Just teams, trivia, a bit of friendly rivalry, and the kind of atmosphere where strangers become easy company. #### 💫 ABOUT THE NIGHT Tired of the same old bar scene? Not quite ready for a formal dinner event? This is the sweet spot. KISMETRIX \| True Connection was created for people who want something more human — real conversation\, real presence\, and a genuine good time\. The Trivia Night is our most fun and relaxed format\, and it's exclusively for Kismetrix guests\. You'll walk into a private room full of people who: 🎯 Are open, friendly and easy-going 🎯 Want a fun night out that feels natural — not forced 🎯 Prefer real-life connection over swiping 🎯 Are simply here to enjoy themselves and see where the night goes Come for the trivia. Stay for the laughs. See who you meet along the way. #### 🎯 WHAT TO EXPECT You'll arrive to a private room — no general public, just Kismetrix guests. You'll be placed into a small team of around six, the questions will start, and within ten minutes you'll forget you didn't know anyone when you walked in. Expect: 🎯 A welcome drink waiting when you arrive 🎯 A warm hosted welcome so nobody walks in feeling lost 🎯 Fun, accessible trivia rounds — no expertise required 🎯 Rotating teams through the night so you meet different people across different rounds 🎯 A mystery round (yes, really) 🎯 A prize worth playing for 🎯 Plenty of laughs, friendly arguing, and genuinely good company Our in-house Kismetrix host keeps the energy warm and the night moving — so it always feels like a night out with good people, not a structured event. #### 👥 AGE GUIDE 🎯 25–35 · 30–45 · 40–58 Kismetrix Trivia Night is open to all singles who are here for a good time and genuine connection. We provide age groups so you know what to expect from the room. The focus is always on good energy and like-minded people — not strict age gates. If you're slightly outside a range and the format feels right for you, you're welcome to book. #### 🎯 WHO THIS NIGHT IS FOR This event is for singles who: 🎯 Want a fun, social night out that's a little different 🎯 Are curious about Kismetrix but want a low-pressure way to start 🎯 Love trivia — or have never done it but like the sound of it 🎯 Want to meet new people without it feeling like a "singles event" 🎯 Are open, friendly, and ready for a genuinely good Thursday night Come solo — most people do. You'll be in good company from the moment you walk in. #### 🍽 FOOD & DRINKS Your ticket includes one standard welcome drink on arrival. Konar Bar has a great food and drinks menu available throughout the night, directly from the venue. Perfect if you'd like to make a full evening of it — and many of our guests do. #### 🎟 TICKETS 🎯 Early Bird — $39 🎯 General — $49 🎯 Last Minute — $59 Welcome drink included at every tier. Spots are strictly limited to 7–8 tables to keep the night intimate and social — early booking is strongly recommended. *Last year's event sold out. Don't sit on it.* #### 💡 WHY PEOPLE LOVE KISMETRIX EVENTS 🎯 No swiping. No apps. Just real people in a real room 🎯 No awkward formats or forced interactions 🎯 A genuinely fun night — even if you come solo 🎯 Exclusively for Kismetrix guests — private room, warm atmosphere 🎯 Hosted by people who actually care about how the night feels Many guests come "just to try it" — and end up staying all night. #### ✨ WHERE THE TRIVIA NIGHT FITS The KISMETRIX Trivia Night sits alongside our Drinks Socials, Elevated Dinners, and Activity Nights as one of our most fun and accessible formats. If you've been curious about Kismetrix, this is one of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to experience what we do. #### 🔔 IMPORTANT NOTES 🎯 This is a hosted social experience — not speed dating 🎯 A welcome drink is included; additional drinks and food are available at the venue 🎯 Gender balance is carefully aimed for but not always guaranteed 🎯 Respect, boundaries, and good energy are essential at all Kismetrix events 🎯 Tickets are non-refundable but transferable #### 🔗 STAY CONNECTED WITH KISMETRIX \| TRUE CONNECTION 📧 **social@kismetrix.com.au** 🌐 **[www.kismetrix.com.au](http://www.kismetrix.com.au/ "http://www.kismetrix.com.au")** 📱 Follow us on **[Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/kismetrix_/ "https://www.instagram.com/kismetrix_/"), [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559826808523 "https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559826808523") & [Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/o/kismetrix-singles-events-84848288353 "https://www.eventbrite.com.au/o/kismetrix-singles-events-84848288353")** 📄 Important Notice: By registering for this event\, you confirm that you have read and agree to Kismetrix \| True Connection's Terms & Conditions\, Privacy Policy\, Disclaimer and Code of Conduct\. 🤝 Collaborations: collabs@kismetrix.com.au
