This is interesting. I have definitely seen a similar idea before, even down to the "six people" setup.

A quick search turned up: https://www.smeeters.com/ http://www.sixr.com.au/ https://www.joingrouper.com/

It would be interesting to know how successful those services have been.

Those are all dating apps/services. If you're a guy who wants to do it, you have to have two other single male friends who are willing to do it with you. If you're new in town and don't know anyone, you're sh out of luck. You can use Krewe if you're one of the 60 million people in the US who says they're lonely.

Groupers also a one time event, with people from all over town. Krewe is meant to get you to see the same group over and over again.

I do know people who have done Grouper and have loved it. Six seems like a pretty cozy number. You can fit into a booth at a bar, and hold a single group conversation pretty comfortably.
