HAYSTACK DATING  | MANCHESTER | THURSDAY 19TH FEBRUARY
Advertisement

We’re so excited to be heading to Pong & Puck in the centre of Manchester (a super cool central games spot) and filling it with single people.
We have shuffleboards, darts, ping pong, beer pong and even a karaoke booth.
What does the ticket include?
-unlimited use of all the amazing games in the venue, in the heart of Manchester 
-being put into our tech algorithm and matched into the most compatible group
-the awesome reps on the evening there the support (if you want them to!)
No swiping.
Absolutely never any awkward speed dating (we’d honestly rather eat a shoe x).
Just a fun people in a great venue, who just so happen to be single.
But don’t worry, we don’t just aimlessly launch you into a room of people and leave you to it like other dating events do...We know that finding who you’re compatible with in a room full of people can be like trying to find a needle in a Haystack.
SO - we spent a very long time building an algorithm that can connect groups of people with things in common. We’ll grab a bit more info about you on the next page, then ahead of the event we run our tech, build out table plans and for part of the evening introduce you to a group of people you’ve been “matched” with.
We have an amazing, very subtle team on hand to help facilitate introductions to whoever wants them and we’re a small team who absolutely bloody love what we do.
94% of people come alone, everyone’s in the same boat. Dating in Manchester should be fun...join us?
PS...
All data is securely managed in line with our data policy which can be found here
We’re a sociable bunch and always like to take short video clips for our social media. We’ll always avoid faces wherever possible, but if you’d rather stay 100% off camera please just come and let the team know on the night so we can make a conscious effort to keep you out of any frame!There’s a huge amount of work behind the scenes before events to get everyone matched into great groups. If you need to transfer your ticket to a friend, we do ask please that you pop us an email with their name 7 days before an event so we can move things around. As with every other events company in our space, we are unable to facilitate refunds but we will always do our 100% best to find a solve!x

How do we do dating differently?
