Just Go Connect. The Mixer Game
Just Go Connect: The Mixer Game is an engaging networking activity designed for social events, aiming to foster connections through shared interests and a unique “game card” mechanism. Participants navigate through stations, collecting poker cards, with the finale involving a reveal to determine who holds the best hand, potentially winning a prize. This 90-minute game, enhanced by music and facilitated rotations, integrates seamlessly with food and beverage offerings, ensuring a dynamic environment where new connections are made in a fun, interactive setting.
THE GOAL:
- Get to know others & their Interests
- Build Connections and Have FUN!
- Integrate Food & Beverage throughout the rotations
THE FUN:
- Just Go Connect Mixer is a network connection game designed for a happy hour or evening of “getting to know” one another at a meeting or social event. It is designed to connect people with common interests through the interest “game card”, while also collecting a poker playing card at each station. At the last station, the participants will connect for interests first, followed by laying out their poker cards to see who has the best hand. The person with the best hand wins a prize provided by us or the client. Each person receives a card to play the game with a rotation schedule to place them at different tables so they always connect with new people.
FACILITATION:
- We guide your group through the program and provide printed cards, pencils, and overall activity and energy management. “The Mixer Game” is upbeat and fun as we facilitate and play music during rotations and connection time. 7 minutes of rotation time allows participants to grab a drink or an appetizer to bring to the next station. The host property provides cocktail round tables and table numbers, one table is needed per 7 people in the group. The players must show up to their station within the rotation time frame or another person can draw their card! We provide one helper per group of 7 tables to oversee the game. As you can see, the connections are based on the lucky #7!
WHAT IS THE CHALLENGE:
- A 90 minute game that can be integrated into cocktails and appetizers with connection stops followed by grab a drink and bite to eat and head to the next table. Each participant receives a connection card that they must then choose their top interest pick in five categories. We provide three interests per category but the choices are flexible and can be modified in advance of the program.
