Everyone wanders around forest area finding "ingredients" that smell amazing. We make candles out of them and have fun sticks and arts to make the candle containers fun

One I'm planning in a few weeks: Chef Remy, inspired by Ratatouille
Pairs of people compete to make a pizza in parallel. The "cook" is blindfolded, and the "chef" has to use touch and voice to get tell the chef what to do. Judge pizzas after

One person hosted "The Fact Party" for me because I tend to have and like lots of random facts >_<
Everyone dressed up like a Wikipedia page and I ran around asking people about their facts
An automatic ice-breaker that encouraged meeting people --
every person met each other!

Slightly edgier, drugs can be used to create thoughtful events
A group is shy? Take phenibut (social anxiolytic) and just start talking. Eventually you'll get through the cached content and people will start opening up. It can be fun and surprisingly therapeutic for everyone

Adventure Cards: spend a while at a notebook thinking up three very different activities you could do with someone that's specific to your relationship with them
Send them the card and give them 48 hrs to choose one
What they choose isn't important, it's the card that matters

My father gave me one every second weekend and it was the best parenting thing
example:
"Brainstorm for 1h about the girl you have a crush on and figure out how to get you two married"
"Street perform together to try to get over social anxiety"
"Code zombie game together"

Adventure cards are also a soft way to propose risky things
In a relationship you can add "30m talking about if there's anything we can learn from our fight last week". They can always ignore it

The magic of adventure cards is that no one actually spends multiple hours planning out ways to spend time together

A good adventure card should shock someone with the level of thoughtfulness and care

I'm extroverted and love adventure cards and crafted parties, but I've found they disproportionally help awkward people. Box of people + alcohol is intimidating.
Smelling forest-stuff with someone feels safe. The setting helps the cold-start problem
