1. What is a DinnerClash?

A DinnerClash is a funny dinner-competition among friends.

The main aspect of DinnerClash is having beautiful convival gatherings - quality time! We do not take this competition to serious and material values are not important for us. On the other hand a gently behaviour regarding food and ressources is important for us and we really hope for you, too.

2. Who is DinnerClash designed for?

DinnerClash is there for all of us!

The main thing is that you have fun - it's that simple. Please do not assume that you have to meet special expectations, but just stay relaxed and enjoy nice evenings in company. DinnerClash was not specially developed for professional chefs, decorators or entertainers - if something does not go according to plan at a dinner, it only makes you sympathetic - don't worry. :)

3. How many players can play a DinnerClash together?

Right now a DinnerClash can be startet with at least 3 players. Also one single DinnerClash can have the maximum number of 5 players. In these numbers, the initiator of the DinnerClash is already included.

5. How do friends communicate during a DinnerClash?

We recommend that you create a group chat in a messenger (e.g. WhatsApp, Threema, Facebook) of your choice with the intended DinnerClash mates. This is the quickest way to get feedback from your friends as to whether they would like to participate. This group chat is also the easiest way to coordinate appointments in the evenings and it is easier to share photos.

Tip: A short vote in a group chat before sending your challenges can prevent unexpected rejections.

7. I am in a relationship. Is a couple-mode available?

You can easily use DinnerClash as a couple.

We recommend that you simply share a registered user profile after consultation.

This means that 3 to 5 couples can start a DinnerClash together (couples-only, so to speak). For this purpose, each couple simply uses one profile. During the evaluation of the host couple, the partners of the guest couple then briefly coordinate among themselves and assign a joint evaluation. In this way, each couple receives a rating for itself and the game principle works.

8. How many game rounds does a DinnerClash have?

A DinnerClash always has exactly the same amount of game rounds, as players.

During every DinnerClash every player will be one time in the role of the host. When the last host was rated by all of his guests, the award ceremony will begin and the DinnerClash ends.

9. Can the host see my personal rating for him?

No.

After a DinnerClash is finished, we show you for every user account only a total evaluation per round. Here you can not see exactly how this total evaluation came about and the individual rating of the specific user accounts stay anonymous.

DinnerClash is programmed in such a way that chance decides which teammate receives the host role in which round.

During this rating you will be asked for a star-rating for each of the following categories, regarding to the host:

 

  1. Food and Drinks
  2. Ambience

For DinnerClash every category has the same weighting.

13. What does the Eatertainment category stand for?

To be able to give a rating in the Eatertainment category, simply ask yourself the following question:

18. Why is there a dummy picture in my dinner-flower?

The most common reason: You have uploaded fewer than 6 pictures. The dummy pictures serve both as a gap filler (so that only whole flowers are created) and for anonymization (if a user asks us to remove images).

Something went wrong with your flower? Don't worry: contact us using our contact form and we will help you.
