It’s in the Cards: A Social Gift Card Trading Game

A fun, social gift card trading game in Liberty Village.

You arrive and are welcomed by a table of forest green envelopes. Each one holds a mystery gift card to a local cafe, shop, or fun activity, and a few contain special cards with their own twists.

You choose one and open it. That's your starting gift card.

But there's a catch: you can't keep it.

Over the afternoon, you're free to trade your card with others in the room, as many times as you like. When it's time to leave, the card you're holding is yours to keep, as long as it's different from the one you started with.

Everyone in the room is trying to trade what they're holding, which naturally sparks conversation.

No awkward icebreakers. No forced conversation topics.

This is a social event, not a dating event.

The game gives everyone something to do, making it easy to relax, join in at your own pace, and be completely yourself.

Most gift cards are valued at $25, with a few special cards offering something a little different.

Come alone, or with a friend. Couples, friend groups, and solo attendees are all welcome. Open to ages 19+, including 30s, 40s, 50s and up.

You'll leave with a gift card, a good story, and the satisfying feeling that comes from sharing a fun afternoon with other people.
