+1 Matchbox Party [admits 2]

​Come with a friend, leave with a match! [Each ticket admits 1 man + 1 woman, late 20's-30's]

• ​Take the Matchbox questionnaire to determine your optimal match at the party

• ​Get exclusive access to Flatiron Social's new penthouse location

• ​Mingle with dozens of other great single friends-of-friends!

​Met Through Friends is teaming up with Matchbox for a friends-of-friends edition of their signature matching parties. Powered by the technology behind The Marriage Pact that has matched 750,000 people to date, Matchbox will find your best match at the party. Come with a friend, leave with a match!

​​How it works:

• ​​You and your +1 will take a matching questionnaire built by Matchbox's team of relationship scientists.

• ​​The Matchbox algorithm will find your optimal match at the party, based on relationship science, AI, and Nobel Prize-winning economics.

• ​​After mingling with dozens of other great single friends-of-friends, your match will be revealed!

​​​Each ticket includes admission for 2 people (1 woman interested in men + 1 man interested in women). Your +1 can be a platonic friend you think would be great for someone else, or a crush you'd like to find a cheeky way to spend time with... up to you! Attendees of this event must bring a single friend of the orientation they're interested in to gain admission.

​We are graciously hosted by Flatiron Social at 14W, their stunning new converted penthouse apartment location. Want free open bar for the night? Flatiron Social members get drinks covered for themselves and a guest at every MTF event hosted at one of their venues. Sign up here and get $20 off your first month's membership with code "MTF20".

​Agenda:

• ​​7:00-7:30: Check-in (doors close promptly at 7:30 and late arrivals will be neither admitted nor refunded)

• ​7:30-8:00: Questionnaire completion & mingling (Get to know other guests as we ready your matches)

• ​8:00-8:20: Clue #1 (Get your first hint about who your match is, and break into small groups)

• ​8:20-8:40: Clue #2 (Get your second hint, and get even closer to finding your match!)

• ​8:40-9:00: Meet your Match! (Matches revealed + quality 1-1 time)

• ​9:00-10:00: Let's party! (Keep chatting with your match, revisit earlier conversations, or check back in with your +1... the night is yours!)

​Please arrive on time, as late arrivals will neither be admitted nor will get to participate in the matching questionnaire. Beverages, including non-alcoholic options, will be available for purchase.​​

​​​FAQs:

​Q: Why do I have to bring a +1?

​A:​ We know you have great taste in friends, and we want to meet them. This requirement ensures both that everyone is vetted and that our events are always gender-balanced.

​We also value the power of community. We don't believe that dating should be an isolated, anonymous experience, but rather an integrated and social one.

​Finally, we need YOUR help bringing together the best single people in NYC! If you're hoping to meet other people's great single friends, we require that you bring one for someone else to meet as well.

​Q: What if I don't have anyone to bring?

​​​A: We get that this might be a challenge, but we encourage you to keep your eyes open for great single friends you may have overlooked. Is there a college pal, coworker, or friend-of-a-friend you might not be thinking of? Try asking around, and you might be surprised by who wants to join you.

​This should go without saying, but please only bring people you like and trust. If you wouldn't be happy to see a friend date them, please don't bring them. They don't have to be your best friend, but you should know them well enough to vouch for them.

​​​Q: What age range is this event for?

​​​A: This event is tailored for people in their late twenties to late thirties.

​​Q: What genders/orientations is this event for?

​​​A: This event is is designed for those who identify as women interested in men or men interested in women. However, if you do not fall in either of these groups, take a look at the rest of our lineup--we regularly plan events for a more diverse array of identities!

​​​Q: What is your refund policy?

​​​A: No refunds will be granted. You are responsible for finding your own +1, and you will be neither refunded nor granted admission if you arrive without an appropriate +1.
