Middle School Makeouts (Vermont)

Remember passing notes in class?

The butterflies before a slow dance?

That electric, awkward moment when your hand almost touched theirs in the popcorn bowl?

Middle School Makeouts (MSM) is a playful dive into those tween & teen memories of curiosity, tension, and yearning.

🕯️ The Vibe: Basement Party (but better)

Dim lights, throwback tunes, and that low-key pulse of possibility in the air… MSM evokes the energy of a middle-school basement party (except with way better communication). Expect Top 100 hits playing in the background, cozy corners to catch your breath or exchange a glance, and a community snack table with nostalgic treats. We’ll provide a few non-alcoholic drinks to keep the vibe flowing.

🎉 What Happens at MSM?

We’ll start with a welcome circle and some playful whole-group scene-setting. You might reenact an “awkward first” (accurately or comically) or revisit that classic arms-length slow dance.

The goal? To set the scene with a little laughter and a lot of low-stakes mischief.

Then, explore our curated collection of nostalgic teen party games like Spin the Bottle, Truth or Dare, and 7 Minutes in Heaven (yes, really), each reimagined for conscious, connected grown-ups. All games include clear how-to instructions plus choose-your-own-adventure suggestions for dialing the tension up or down (depending on what you and your fellow explorers feel up for).

To be clear: This isn’t a sex party (in fact, “bottom bits” stay covered the whole time).

It is a light-hearted, sweet-and-spicy social where you can flirt, play, and blend bashful with bold.
