The Sparkle: A Fresh Take on Dating & Friending For us for an interactive event designed to create playful moments among strangers, ignite chemistry, and foster deep connections
About this Event

Join us at The Sparkle—an interactive event designed to create playful moments among strangers, ignite chemistry, and foster deep connections. Whether you're looking for romance, new homies, or just a fun night of human connection, this experience invites you to engage with others in ways you’ve never done before, which go WELL beyond the usual small talk.

How it Works: Throughout the evening, you’ll be paried up and rotate through a series of playful, thought-provoking activities designed to help you connect on a deeper level. Some prompts spark laughter, others encourage vulnerability and connection.

One minute you’re blindfolded guessing mystery objects, the next your drawing a very questionable parrot with a stranger—then talking about the last time you felt really seen.

The Sparkle welcomes people of all genders, ages, and sexual orientations, creating an inclusive space for connection—whether you're seeking romance, friendship, or simply a night of meaningful interactions.

A Few Ground Rules:– We reserve the right to refuse entry at the door without explanation.– We reserve the right to ask anyone to leave if they make others feel uncomfortable.– If you're looking for a hyper-curated dating event with people exactly your age and background, this might not be your thing. But if you're open to organic, unexpected connections of all kinds—this is the place for you.

Sliding Scale: Venmo $25-$50 to @nikidavisf to avoid fees
