How the evening works

Four simple steps, one comfortable night

  1. 1

    Arrive & settle in

    Come a few minutes early. Scan the check-in code at the door, key in the last four digits of your phone number, and you're checked in — then collect your name card, get a drink and take a seat.

  2. 2

    Timed conversations

    Meet each guest one-on-one for a few unhurried minutes. When the round ends, the host moves things along for you.

  3. 3

    Mark who you'd like to see again

    Scan the code on your table, key in the same four digits, and mark the people you'd like to see again on your own phone. Nobody else sees your choices but us.

  4. 4

    Get your matches — privately

    When two people choose each other, we share contact details with both. You'll hear from us within 48 hours.

Your Privacy.
Our Priority.

We create a safe, respectful space where you can be yourself.

  • Hosted and moderated events
  • Small, balanced groups by age range
  • Your information stays private

Just yourself. Your host handles the schedule, the introductions, and the timing. Come as you are and let the evening unfold.

Late in the evening you scan the code on your table and mark the people you'd like to see again on your own phone. When two guests choose each other, we share contact details with both — privately, within 48 hours.

Yes. Events are hosted and moderated, and your details are never shared with anyone except a mutual match. Your choices stay between you and us.
