Looking for new geeky friends? New people to join your gaming group? Or just someone to party up with for the convention weekend? Come and find new geeky friends and get to know people through some fun platonic "friend speed dating"!

Each participant should bring along one well-trained D20 die (some wild dice will be available for those without any).

Participants will be changing their seats around the table every few minutes - when the bell rings, the chatting has to unfortunately stop and people will have to move according to the instructions. If you feel like you ran out of time and would like to continue talking with someone, there will be some time at the end of the programme for non-timed chatting.

Due to the huge popularity of the programme in previous years, you will need to sign up beforehand via the Konsti app. The format requires an even number of participants, so it is not possible to join in after the programme has already started. Please make sure you're at the venue in time as the programme starts so you don't miss out on the fun! If there is not an even number of participants present or there are seats available when the programme is set to begin, it might be possible to join in by showing up.

Please note that LFGF is meant only for finding new geeky friends: you will have to look elsewhere for romantic company. In order to make finding new geek friends as comfortable and safe as possible for everyone, please also remember to respect the boundaries of other participants and follow Ropecon's anti-harassment guidelines.

Please note that this version of the programme is in English only! There is also a Finnish language version of this programme if you feel like that is more appropriate for you. No matter which version you participate in, don't worry too much about your language skills: each round is very short and doing your best with the languages you know is more than enough!
