This invention is a method and apparatus for stimulating mixing at social gatherings. Portable display articles that bear indicia are distributed to the guests. The guests move about to compare indicia with other guests, and form groups wherein at least one indicia of each guest in a group relates to at least one indicia of every other guest in that group in accordance with predetermined criteria. The process is periodically repeated with different criteria to form the guests into a series of different groups. The guests thus get to be in groups with different people, meeting new people and having the opportunity to interact with them. The portable display articles may take a variety of forms such as name tags, bracelets (Fig. 3), food or drink containers (Fig. 4), clothing such as hats (Fig. 5), T-shirts, etc. The indicia may be single or multiple aspect and may be individual, in sets or in multiple sets.
