Tasks, not profiles

Sound familiar?

Looking for friends shouldn't feel like dating.

  • Swiping through faces in Tinder-style apps when all you want is a friend — not a date.
  • Putting real effort into breaking the ice, only to find out this person was never going to be your kind of people.

Tired of it? So are we. That's why we're building Friendlyzone.

How it works

We don't offer you people. We offer you something to do.

Pick a task

Browse a list of things to do — not a list of profiles.

Get your people

Once you've chosen, we match you with a buddy, or with a small team of 3–4.

Do it together

In person, somewhere in Berlin. Every task comes with a script, so nobody has to carry the conversation. Even if you don't click, you still had a good time.

Meet again

Another task may bring you back together — one more chance to get to know them, and to see them from a different angle.

One-on-one

Just the two of you. More time to really get to know the person.

Small group of 3–4

Less pressure and a lighter, less intimate atmosphere. Easier when you're not ready for one-on-one.

Why not just Meetup?

Not another table full of strangers.

The usual way

A table, some randoms, good luck.

Group events seat you with whoever showed up and leave the rest to you. All the small talk is your job.

Friendlyzone

A task, a partner, a reason to talk.

You start with a shared thing to do, so the task breaks the ice for you. Worst case, you had fun. Best case, you made a friend.

Why try it

Not a product. A community.

We're not selling you anything. There's no subscription to upgrade to.

Friendlyzone is a community — and a closed one. Everyone goes through a pre-filter before getting in, so the people you meet share at least the most fundamental pillars of our worldview.

Beyond the tasks

The chat stays when the season ends.

During your season

You join a group chat with everyone playing your season, in the messenger you already use. No new app to install.

After the season

You move into the community chat with everyone who has ever played a season.

Whenever you like

Keep meeting new people there, and when it clicks, meet them in person.

Cards on the table

Our pillars.

We wish everyone well. But inside our community, we want people who share these three things:

Life without religious rules

Atheist, agnostic or just don't care, all fine. What matters is that religion doesn't decide how you live or how you see other people.

Trust in science

We trust the international scientific community and evidence-based knowledge.

No esoterics

Human design, astrology and that kind of stuff — not for us.

If that's not you — no hard feelings. This just isn't the place.
