Games Night: Old School Edition - Singles 40+

Remember when a good night out just meant a table, some snacks, and a game you actually cared about winning? We're bringing that back.
About this Event

This is a proper old school games night. Think Scrabble, Connect 4, cards, trivia-adjacent chaos, the games you grew up loving and somehow stopped playing. No apps, no swiping, no small talk performance. Just you, a few new faces, and something fun to focus on instead of "so, tell me about yourself."

How it works

We match you into small teams based on what you're actually looking for, whether that's new friends, new connections, or you're just here to win at Connect 4 and see what happens along the way. You'll play up to three rounds across the evening, so you'll get real time with more than one group. No forced rotations, no speed-dating buzzer. Just games, laughs, and the kind of conversation that happens naturally when you're not trying to have one.

What to expect

• Doors from 7pm at Pyrmont Bridge Hotel
• Welcome drink and a quick, easy intro (no standing up and introducing yourself to a room, we promise) - Included in your ticket price
• Up to 3 rounds of games with people matched to you
• A relaxed, playful vibe from start to finish

Who this is for

Sydney singles 40+ who are done with the apps and ready to actually meet people. Whether you're looking for a partner, real mates, or both, you'll find your people here.

The details

📍 Pyrmont Bridge Hotel
🗓️ Tuesday 25 August

We don't ask you to sell yourself in 90 seconds. We ask you to show up, roll the dice, and see who you meet along the way.

About Get Snowballing

We started Get Snowballing because dating apps and speed dating weren't working, and honestly, they were never going to. Real connection doesn't happen in 90 seconds or behind a screen. It happens when you're doing something you'd genuinely enjoy anyway, with people who are there for the same reasons you are.

So that's what we built. Real events, real activities, real people. No performing, no pressure, just a room full of Sydney singles 40+ who'd rather laugh over a board game than force conversation over a drink they don't want.

Come as you are. See who you meet.

Real people, doing real things, so you can just be yourself.
