Here’s some frequently asked questions about our dating events:

Are dating events worth it?

We have worked very hard to make events for single people that don’t feel like a typical “dating event” which we know can feel very overwhelming. We just hire out great venues, invest into fun entertainment, and match single people together into groups on the evening so you can go on multiple dates in a low-pressure environment. There are always new dating apps popping up, which all have the same culture of ghosting, shallowness, and let’s be honest we can barely keep up with our family’s whatsapp chat let alone a dating app.

What are our dating events?

Our events use the power of tech to connect similar single people together. When you arrive to the venue you’ll be greeted by our lovely reps, and then you’ll be introduced to your matched group. Depending on the event we will introduce you to another one or two rounds of single people, where we match you by differently weighting the parameters of the algorithm. We re-invest profit into fun entertainment on the evening so you have a great night regardless – and host a range of events from relaxed drinks in a beer garden, to something a bit more active like arcade games, to sporty events such as tag rugby or rock climbing.

How do you match single people?

When you buy a ticket you fill out a short form with some questions about yourself mapped around research we conducted to what leads to meaningful connections. We then run this through our algorithm which is a propietary points based matching system using python to detect similarities between each person based on different parameters. We then spend hours going through each person to make sure there has been no discrepancies in the data and even more hours to make sure the group ages and ratios are appropriate. Afterwards we analyse each table to make sure they are placed near tables we think we will match well, and that are in the best place in the venue based on what we know about the group.

Is it ok to come alone?
Absolutely, on average so far, 94% of customers come alone and we proud of the kind, welcoming environments our events create.
What are the age ranges for your events?
The average customer age so far has been 33 and we have attracted mid 20s to mid 40s.

We hate that phrase because it makes us think of a dusty town hall and name tags lol.

We hire the best venues in your city and use tech we spent a hell of a lot of time and effort building to bring interesting, funny single people together to grab a drink and connect. We re-invest profits into entertainment (to date we’ve hired everything from entire arcades to Oompa bands) and an incredible team of reps who are on hand to make sure everyone has a great night.

Everyone in the room also happens to be single and looking to meet someone. So on a technicality yes we are, but we’re dating done differently. And we’d rather eat a shoe with a knife and fork than go speed dating xxx

Our data shows us that the average age of our customer so far has been 33 and we tend to attract mid 20’s, to early 40’s. Absolutely everyone is welcome but this is the age range we’ve seen at events so far!

Honestly darling, probably not. Unless they drive a really well stocked ice cream van. Either way, do come along to an event, the people are great.

When buying your ticket, you’ll fill out some questions that tell us a bit more about you. Ahead of the evening we run our in house algorithm and split everyone into groups based on common interests, sexuality, gender ratio and a range of other factors. We then verify everything by hand, build out table plans and for part of the evening you’ll grab a drink with your table group. Zero pressure, zero swiping, literally just interesting, funny, kind people who also happen to be single.

And from what we’ve seen, often rather a lot of Baby Guinness.

Please don’t be, 94% of attendees come solo and it’s 100% the best way to meet new people. Everyone’s in the same boat, we have a strict good vibes only policy in place and an amazing rep team floating about who’s entire role is to make sure everyone has a great evening.
