About this event

READY. SET. GO!!!

Okay, imagine this: you, a table full of strangers, and googly eyes. Sounds wacky, right? That's the point!

Square's first Talk or Play event is basically Truth or Dare, but way friendlier. See it as your excuse to take a break from adulting, so prepare to bring your spunktastic kidergy :)

When it's your turn, you pick a card. A Talk Card means you answer a question the best you can. A Play Card means you take on a little challenge. Don't worry, nothing crazy. They're all doable, just enough to nudge you out of your comfort zone.

Upon your arrival in the play zone, you'll get a googly eye to wear on your face. It's meant to wake up your third eye, the one tied to imagination and creativity, and trust me, you're going to need it.

Every time you pick a Play Card, you also earn an eyeball sticker, and yep, that goes on your face too. Whoever ends up with the most eyeballs wins a prize!

So, are you game for some silliness? I googly dare you! And your third eye says YES. 👀

P.S. You're always free to pass on any challenge or question:)

We will be in the Fireside room located in Steeplejack on Broadway.

Square's Tips:

🌀 Check your ego at the door.

Beliefs, identity, roles, and preferences — leave them outside for now. Today, curiosity is your best accessory.

🤝 Choose kindness over being right.

We're not here to debate or convince. We're here to connect. Listen, stay open, and let other people's truths land without needing to fix or correct them.

🕯️Bring what you've got.

Your full presence, a little intention, and whatever self-awareness you walked in with — that's enough. You don't need to be healed, polished, or prepared. We'll meet you exactly where you are.

🙋 You're in charge of you.

If something lands hard, just say so. You can pass on any question, any time, no explanation needed. No one will push, and no one will follow up. Your comfort sets your limits here.

🤫 Silence is welcome.

Pauses aren't awkward here — they're part of the conversation. Let yourself sit with a thought before you speak, or not speak at all. Both are valid.

🎉 Play is encouraged.

Don't take it too seriously. Laugh if something's funny. Go off script. Let your quirks shine today!
