**Prepay required at :** [https://www.socialevents123.com/event-details.aspx?id=13502](https://www.socialevents123.com/event-details.aspx?id=13502) Joining the event is easy and convenient as you can participate from the comfort and safety of your own home using either a computer with a webcam or a smartphone, iPad, or tablet. ABOUT Our in-person Trivia events have always been a hit, attracting a large number of enthusiastic participants. Now, we have developed an innovative system that allows you to enjoy these events without leaving your home. HOW IT WORKS This event takes place entirely on zoom. You will be able to see and hear the other participants as you play along. Moreover, you'll have the opportunity to meet and interact with other trivia enthusiasts. When the game begins, the host will ask a series of trivia questions. Your objective is to come up with the correct answers and jot them down on your paper. Once a round is complete (typically consisting of around 6 questions), we will go through the answers and determine the participant with the highest score for that round. The winner will receive a raffle ticket, giving them a chance to win exciting prizes at the end of the event. Prizes may include Amazon Gift Cards, free entry to future events, and other exciting goodies. Throughout the event, we will have multiple rounds of play and a virtual system in place to introduce you to other participants. HOW TO ACCESS THE VIRTUAL ROOM After purchasing your ticket, you will receive a confirmation email containing the Zoom link. Simply click on the link to log in and join the virtual room for the event. RSVPS ON HERE ARE NOT REFLECTIVE OF ACTUAL ATTENDANCE as this is a multi group event. **Prepay required at :** [https://www.socialevents123.com/event-details.aspx?id=13502](https://www.socialevents123.com/event-details.aspx?id=13502) Cost: $11.99- $20 depending on how early you register.

This is a prepay event and only way to attend is to get ticket in advance at link above).* This is the perfect cure for your cabin fever! The temps are going to warm up next weekend and will be the perfect opportunity to go out and meet others your age while also getting some exercise and seeing the beautiful park. Our 50 & Over Social Walks are an extremely popular way to make new friends and meet others in a safe and unique setting. This event is very casual and non-awkward + our host will help to make introductions. Little Island provides a one-of-a-kind relationship between nature and art—a break from urban life and a connection to spontaneity and joy. It's become NYC's newest and hottest attraction! We'll make several stops along the park so that people can take pictures and admire the beautiful views. We'll circle the island a couple of times and then afterwards, we'll continue the walk along the Hudson River. During the walk, you will randomly be paired with others in the beginning then rotate at designated times so that you get to meet everyone participating. Afterwards, you're welcome to hang out and exchange contact info with others. FAQs: **Where to meet?** Exact meeting location with host contact info will be sent to all paid attendees day of the event. **How many will attend?** We are limiting the # of attendees so that there's enough room for everyone to feel comfortable. **What if rains?** We will email attendees a new date. **Can I come alone?** Yes, about 90% come on their own. **Ages?** 50s & Over. Gender balance is not guaranteed but we usually get a good mix. **How much?** $15-$25 depending upon when you get ticket and spots left.
