Getting your player ready...
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Connect Four, Hungry Hungry Hippos and Twister are the new alternatives to speed dating, nightclubs and staying home alone.
PlayDate, a monthly social event held in cities around the country, is catching on among adults weary of the usual nightlife. They play old- school board games, Double Dutch and hold dance-off contests in a throwback to youth. And some pick up a few phone numbers along the way.
“The idea was to get together games that are familiar and nostalgic,” PlayDate pioneer Imari Havard said. The game nights began in 2005 in Havard’s Atlanta living room.
The PlayDate website says PlayDate Denver is coming soon.
