What is Bunchups?

Bunchups is an online platform that connects people for small, meaningful in-person gatherings based on shared interests, such as board games, sports, fitness and more.

At Bunchups, we believe that small gatherings have the power to create big moments. Unlike large events, our focus is on intimate one-on-one or small group interactions that foster deeper, more meaningful connections.

In partnership with Kingston Libraries, we’re hosting Board Game Bunchups—a fun and interactive way to connect with your neighbours in person in a safe, welcoming environment. These gatherings turn game nights into opportunities for building friendships, combating loneliness, and creating lasting memories, bringing people of all generations closer together.

Why We’re Doing This?

Board games are more than just games—they’re bridges that connect us in ways that are fun, memorable, and truly lasting.
