Daygame

Field	Pickup
Also known as	street pickup, day game
Origin	London / European street scene, ~2009–

Daygame is cold approach in daylight: streets, shops, transit, galleries, campuses. It is a school as well as a time of day. The London wave (Tom Torero, Krauser, and the men who wrote field reports around them) made it a named product: direct or "situational" open, short chat, number or instant date, text game, date.

Compared with nightgame, daygame usually has:

• Less alcohol, less loud music, less AMOG density.
• Higher shame tax (approach anxiety in sunlight).
• More talking, fewer dancing-kino shortcuts.
• Logistics that look like ordinary life (coffee, walking).

Wingman already quizzes this as its own skill (quizDayGame.json) and holds Krauser, daygame.com, Torero-adjacent blogs, and street-pickup threads in the corpus.
