A social club for creative connection
Make friends the new-fashioned way
Do you want to meet people outside of the usual venues (bars, gyms, the dreaded apps), and get away from the same tired questions you’ve asked and been asked?
Chapter is a twist on an old way to meet – a warm campfire for city slickers.
Join our themed gatherings
At the heart of Chapter are monthly gatherings inspired by nostalgic, comforting themes – childhood, home, family, cultural touchstones, and other wholesome things.
At each event, you'll connect through whimsical games and activities, and make fast friends by interacting in weird ways.
So relax – you’re among friends and friendly people.
What gets you out of the house? Where do you feel comfortable forming meaningful connections? What experiences boost your social well-being?
As a paid member, you'll get access to our custom creative strengths and connection style profiling. As we learn more about you, we'll match you with similar folks, and send you to curated events and custom experiences designed by Chapter or our partners.
Our connection styles help you find your favorite way to express yourself.
Match with members based on your connection style
