💫 Powered by Matchbox – Real Compatibility, Real Connections
We’ve partnered with Matchbox, a platform rooted in relationship science, to help you meet your most compatible match. With over half a million matches across 40 countries, the Matchbox algorithm focuses on long-term alignment — using values, goals, and personality traits — to suggest your ideal pairing at the event.
💡 How It Works:
- Upon arrival, you’ll complete a short questionnaire created by relationship scientists and curated by your host.
- Matchbox’s algorithm will identify your most compatible match at the party — based on behavioral science, AI, and proven psychology.
- After light mingling with the full group, matches are revealed! There will be multiple rounds of matching!
🎟️ Ticket Includes:
- 1 drink
- Popcorn
- The full Matchbox matching experience
🌟 Who It’s For:
Singles ages 25-45 looking to meet someone with shared values, interests, and relationship goals in a thoughtful, relaxed atmosphere. Note: You will be matched close to your age!
🗓️ What to Expect:
This is an intentional event — not a speed-dating circus or noisy mixer. If sparks don’t fly instantly, that’s okay: you’ll still meet someone thoughtfully matched to your values. And at the very least, you'll be part of a quality group of like-minded singles.

❓ FAQs:
Q: What if I don’t get a match? A: We do our best to ensure an even mix, but life happens. If matches are uneven, some attendees may receive a platonic pairing and will be matched in the next round.
Q: Can I get a refund? A: We plan carefully for balance, so no refunds within 4 days of the event. However, we may issue a credit in certain cases.
