When we were kids, we’d get close at recess, and as adults? How do you make new friends as an adult? With “The First Round” in Barcelona, formerly called “Imperfect Strangers”. A gastronomic experience to meet compatible people during a fun dinner with strangers between conversations and games to break the ice. In fact: in person, without having to keep an eye on your profile picture.
And it all starts with an affinity questionnaire: are you looking for new friends, have you just arrived in town and want to meet new people, have nothing to do on a Thursday night and there’s only one life? Your wish is our command for “The First Round”. Book your place now and create real relationships in the real world!
What is “The First Round”?
“The First Round is a different way to meet new people during a clandestine dinner. A fun dinner with strangers where the six people sitting at the table are compatible with each other. How? Thanks to the short questionnaire you will receive after purchasing your ticket with questions about your interests, culinary tastes or hobbies.
After that, the algorithm does the rest of the magic. Since those answers will be the key to your compatibility with the other diners, try to answer as honestly as possible and try not to get carried away by the urge to “want to impress”. The you-version of you deserves to meet the strangers who are most like-minded to you!
Who attends these first rounds?
Don’t think of it as an event focused on finding love. At “The First Round” you will also find people who want to break their “work-home” routine to meet new people, lovers of new experiences, or people who want to get out of their comfort zone and break out of their social bubble to make new friends.
Whether you consider yourself a shy person, open-minded, “it depends on the day” or just “I feel like having a laugh”, the activity will make sure you won’t suffer because there will always be conversation, as it will offer games and interesting conversation topics that everyone will want to keep talking about after dessert.
Details you should know
If you’re thinking about the “clandestine dinner” part, don’t worry: you’ll know the location of the restaurant 24 hours before the event begins. And while the spontaneity and the experience you’ll tell long after you leave the dinner are included in “The First Round,” the food and drinks consumed are paid for directly at the restaurant.
It’s not always easy to make new friends. Especially if you live in a city as frenetic as Barcelona, and social networks seem the best option to meet anyone. That’s why “The First Round” arrives in Barcelona to take you out of your comfort zone with a dinner with strangers.
Whether you’re looking to meet new people, want to open yourself up to love or feel like having a fun dinner, live this experience for yourself and make friends as easily as you did when you were little during recess (and with better grammar).
