Description

Ever find yourself craving a space where you end up not knowing anyone and by the end of the evening you feel surrounded by old friends or maybe the people for whom you've been searching all this time? Makuma is creating cozy spaces across the city for the connections you crave deep down: fascinating conversations, wonderful people you might never have met, experiences that surprise you in the best way. Think of it as a warm bubble where you can be genuinely yourself and meet others doing the same.  Book your ticket soon, spots are limited. First 10 bookings receive a discount code for a friend that has never been to Connection Games before from us! ✨ You can book your ticket by going to: makuma.ro/events/104 How does it work? You'll arrive (nervous or excited—any is welcome!) and be greeted by a friendly host. Through a simple web app, you'll match with someone based you share things in common with. Your mission? Discover what it is! Thoughtful prompts and fun ice breaking activities will guide you beyond small talk into genuinely sparking conversations. 💚 Each conversation round lasts 10 minutes and at the end of each round you can choose if you want to continue with the same partner for another 10 minutes or go and talk with another person. Whether you're a deep thinker, novelty seeker, or just bored of the same old social routines—come as you are. Makuma makes space for connection, one conversation at a time. Also, don't worry if you can't make it on time. Our format allows it for you to jump in the game whenever you arrive without missing any of the fun. The Makuma experience is guided by the five Cs:  💡Curiosity - treat each conversation like a possibility to discover something new. Approach each conversation like a mini adventure. Let yourself be surprised at each step and don’t hurry to ask or answer a question. Give yourself and the other time, and listen not to fix, but to understand — the world expands when we do. 💛 Compassion – We’re all human, let’s meet each other with softness. Start a conversation from the realization that you don’t know the full story in front of you. In our space, we offer care without trying to solve or save the other. You’re welcome as you are — and so is the person across from you.   🛑 Consent – we connect best when we choose freely True connection is never forced. Ask before giving advice or asking personal questions. Try to be aware of your boundaries and ask for help when you face a difficult situation. Know you can say “no” or “pass” anytime — and trust others to do the same. This makes space for a real “yes.” ⏳ Centered – Be present with yourself, so you can truly be with others. Check in with how you feel. Breathe. Notice. Instead of drifting into autopilot, come back to the person in front of you — and to the moment between you. If you feel over or understimulated, take a break and ask yourself “what is going on now?”. It’s normal when you meet new people to not be able to be present at all times, so take breaks and come back to your centre. That’s where connection lives. 🔥 Courage - Connection takes bravery. It’s not always easy to show up, speak honestly, or be seen. But courage isn’t about being fearless — it’s about leaning in, gently, even when you feel nervous. We celebrate every brave step, big or small. Don't worry about getting them all "right"— connection games is not about competition or about who connects "better than the other". It is about how we can co-create a space where everybody can feel comfortable to show up in a natural and authentic way. 🤗
