What are members saying about our first official game, 24 Killers? 🤔

🏆 "This is a top tier first choice!"
💪 "This looks like a super fascinating game, excited to dive into it!"
🌙 "It's incredible honestly. It's reminiscent of Moon RPG."

I think it's safe to say we know how to pick 'em 💅
Yesssss!

You can still absolutely join a Clubhouse and attend even if you didn't play this months game too, we design the format and questions to be broad as needed.
Only just started last month! This month is our first game, pretty exciting!

The rise of friend making events combating the loneliness epidemic
Several in-person friend making initiatives have launched in New Zealand this year, largely attracting the age group experiencing the most loneliness.

Welcome to The Game Club - The Game Club

We've been working on this for months now, and we just put it live, so if you're interested in being a part of this, meeting other people on your level, being part of a community built on CARE and LISTENING to each other.
The Hosts gets a curated set of questions designed to move beyond game mechanics — into personal stories, emotions, and perspectives.

The game is just the icebreaker, the goal is to forge friendships.
Each month you get a copy of our carefully selected curated game, and at the end of each month we all gather in small groups all over the world - online or in-person - to discuss our shared game experience.
So I had an idea along with one of my mates to create something we think can help.

I present to you - The Game Club (@thegameclub.bsky.social)

It's like a book club, but for games.
Social media isn’t living up to what was promised, most social events are loud, drunken, or full of small talk, AI chatbots are being offered as a solution to loneliness, and so many communities feature folks talking at each other, but not actually talking with each other.
It took me years after moving to NYC to meet the right people and build genuine friends.

It got me thinking about how difficulty it is these days to creating meaningful friendships. For a time where we are so connected, we seem to be very apart.
