Operating Mode
Choose the appropriate operating mode for your event, depending on the composition of your guests.
Each chat machine can be operated in one of three modes, depending on how you want your event guests to connect with each other.
Mode 1: Everyone meets everyone.
In this mode, each participant is brought into contact with every other participant, allowing them to get to know each other for three minutes.
Only one of the two rows of cabins moves alternately at any given time.
A complete session with 22 guests takes about an hour. With fewer people, the session is correspondingly shorter.
Mode 2: Groups will be paired off.
In this mode, two groups are formed, indicated by cabins outlined in red and blue, respectively. Both rows of cabins move simultaneously in opposite directions in such a way that only members of one group encounter members of the other. Event guests from one group do not encounter other members of their own group.
This could be used, if desired, for example at weddings, where the bride's entourage is to be introduced to the groom's entourage. Or at speed dating events, etc.
A complete run with 22 people takes about half an hour.
Mode 3: Group members become internally
positioned relative to each other.
In this mode, two groups are also formed, but this time only the members of each group are brought into contact with each other. All guests of one group meet all other members of their own group. However, no meeting takes place between members of one group and members of the other. This mode could be useful, for example, at trade fairs, conventions, or company parties, where participants of presentation A meet other participants of the same presentation to discuss it or brainstorm.
A complete run with 22 people takes about half an hour.
In the second and third operating modes, more than two groups can be formed, however, the number of new encounters and the duration of a round decrease accordingly.
If your event has more than 22 guests, any number of rounds can be carried out until everyone has had a turn one or more times.
Soooo many encounters...
