    You will get a match card and at the end of each mini-date you'll indicate whether or not you'd like to see the person again. At the end of the evening you will hand your match card in to the event host. If you both select each other, we will send you each others' email address the next day so you can set up a future date! Within 48hrs, you'll receive an email with the first name and email of your mutual matches. We do not give out names or contact info unless there is a mutual match.
    Our Speed Dating events tend to attract quality, single professionals who are done with the dating games and ready to meet that special someone. Most people know within a few minutes if they would like to see someone again.
    We will have fun, ice breaker questions available to pull out of an envelope on the tables so there will never be a lull in conversation. The questions are also a great way to gauge chemistry with the other person.

    NYC Match Game Singles Game Night - Play Fun & Easy Social Icebreaker Games And Match With People You're Interested In Seeing Again!

    AGE RANGE: 20s, 30s & 40s *

    A Match Games Singles Game Night is a revolutionary new event that is changing the way singles meet. It's a fun new twist on speed dating! Let's face it, we're all tired of the endless online swiping on dating apps and this event is the perfect way to meet other singles in real life.

    QUICK NOTE: THIS IS A MULTI-MEETUP GROUP EVENT. 15 OTHER GROUPS HAVE ALSO BEEN INVITED SO WE'LL BE SURE TO HAVE A GOOD SIZE TURNOUT. THE RSVP LIST ON MEETUP REFLECTS ONLY A SMALL PORTION OF ATTENDEES.

    HOW THE EVENT WORKS...
    - At each Match Games Singles Game Night event we book a reserved area with some tables at a cool bar with a great vibe
    - After you get your ticket we give you the event reservation name... When you arrive you just tell the venue host the reservation name and you'll be directed to the event area where you'll get to meet the other fun singles who are also looking to meet new people.

    - You'll be playing fun and easy icebreaker games to get to know everyone.

    - After the event you'll be a able to login to our app where you'll be able to select the people you'd like to stay in touch with (scroll down for more details about how that works).

    - We usually have between 12 and 20 people at each event. The amount of people varies from event to event but you'll definitely get to meet a good amount of people without being overwhelmed by a huge crowd. We keep the events fairly small and intimate so you really get to know everyone and make real connections.

    - Our host will walk you through the event via video on your phone (so there's no awkward check in process or silly name tags)
    - The coolest part about the event is that no one else at the venue will even know you're at a singles event. It will just look like a group of friends having fun around a table!

    - During the fun icebreaker games you can order cocktails (or non-alcoholic mocktails) to get everyone talking and then move into the games (feel free to order food/appetizers if you'd like to as well. Everyone pays for their own tab at the venue)

    ** QUICK NOTE: WE WILL BE RAISING THE TICKET PRICE EVERY FEW DAYS AND BECAUSE WE LIMIT THE SPOTS AVAILABLE, THE EVENT WILL VERY LIKELY SELL OUT BEFORE THE EVENT TIME GRAB YOUR TICKET ASAP TO MAKE SURE YOU GET A SPOT. **

    WHAT ARE THE ICEBREAKER GAMES ALL ABOUT?
    You'll be playing fun games like "Friendly Feud" which is similar to the popular prime time TV show we all know. In this game you and the other singles at the table will be asked fun questions like, "Name a gift that women love men to give them". You will try to come up with the most popular answer and then you'll find out if you got the top answer. Another popular game we sometimes play is Blank Slate where you have to try to guess the most popular fill in the blank answer to questions like, _________ TIME . You'd have to try to come up with the most popular answer... is it PARTY TIME? Is it NIGHT TIME? Or maybe it's SHOWTIME.
    HERE'S THE REALLY COOL PART!

    This event has led to countless relationships and new friendships formed because after the event you'll be able to stay in touch with the people you met at the event by reaching out and contacting them on our app. After the event is over we allow you to login to the app and swipe on the people you'd like to stay in touch with! It's similar to a dating app but you'll have actually met and mingled with the people in person before deciding if you want to match and stay in touch with them! After you get your ticket you'll be able to upload a photo of yourself on our webpage (only viewable by the other event attendees). After you sign up you will get an email from us with instructions on how to upload your photo to our app/webpage. It's the perfect way to meet someone, merging new technology and good old fashioned meeting in real life!

    A message we received about one of our recent events: "I had a great time at the event. The people were really friendly and the games were a lot of fun. It was a refreshing change of pace from the dating apps" - Leah
