🎃Halloween Fast Friends | Cast a Spell & Meet New People | 21-45

The Expats Club Zurich (SWISS welcome) (11000+ expats)
Meeting new people as an adult can sometimes feel a little… spooky. 👻
Busy lives, established friendship circles and the awkwardness of approaching strangers can make it surprisingly difficult to create new connections.

So this Halloween, we’re changing the atmosphere.
Join us at Hotel Rivington for a special Halloween Fast Friends evening, where you can step into a room full of new faces, start easy conversations and maybe even cast a spell on your social life. 🎃✨

🕯️ YOUR HALLOWEEN EVENING
7:00 PM — Welcome
Arrive at Hotel Rivington and meet your host, Neo.
She’ll be managing the evening and helping everyone settle in and start making connections.
Coming alone? Don't worry.
If you're shy or a little nervous about walking into a room full of strangers, come early. Neo can help introduce you to a few people and make those first few minutes much easier.
You don't need to know anyone beforehand.
🎃 7:30–8:30 PM — Fast Friending
This is where the Halloween social magic begins.
You'll be encouraged to speak with a different attendee every few minutes, giving you the chance to meet a whole mix of people throughout the evening.
One conversation becomes another.
One new face becomes another.
And before you know it, that room of strangers doesn't feel quite so strange anymore.
🥂 After 8:30 PM — Open Mingling
The structured Fast Friends rounds finish, and the rest of the evening is yours.
Grab a drink, continue a conversation you enjoyed or meet some of the other people you didn't get a chance to speak with during the rounds.
No more rotations.
No pressure.
Just relax and see where the evening takes you.

🧙 WHY YOU SHOULD COME
✨ Meet lots of new people in one evening
👻 A fun Halloween atmosphere without the pressure of a traditional party
💬 Easy conversation starters instead of awkward approaches
🙋 Come alone — many people do
🤝 Meet both ladies and gentlemen in the 25–45 age group
🥂 Stay afterwards and continue conversations naturally
🎃 A different kind of Halloween evening — focused on people, connections and having fun
You don't need a costume.
You don't need to bring a group of friends.
And you definitely don't need to be the most outgoing person in the room.
Just show up. We'll help you meet the people.

❤️ THIS IS NOT SPEED DATING
Fast Friends is not a dating or speed-dating event.
The focus is on meeting like-minded people, making new friendships and expanding your social circle.
Of course, sometimes a new friendship can turn into something more — but that's not what the evening is designed around.
Come to meet people.
Come to have conversations.
Come to see who you click with.

🎟️ WHY DO WE HAVE TICKETS?
Cover our costs
Our hosts are compensated for their time and work, and we also have costs for Meetup, venues, staff and event management.
Group safety
Tickets give us a record of who is attending and help create a well-organised evening where everyone is more committed to being there.
Better management
Tickets allow us to manage group size and make sure we have an appropriate space for everyone.

🕸️ A LITTLE HALLOWEEN MAGIC
Maybe you’ll arrive knowing nobody.
Maybe you'll leave having found a new group to grab drinks with.
Maybe one conversation will turn into a friendship.
You never really know what can happen when you put a room full of people together and give them a reason to talk.
This Halloween, come and cast a spell on your social life. 🎃✨
You bring yourself.
We'll bring the introductions.
See you at Hotel Rivington. 👻
