About Event

Tickets for women are sold out! If you bring a male friend, you can still register for the "Bring Someone Hot" ticket! We will be dropping more events soon so make sure to follow our Instagram and this Luma page to stay in the loop <3

We're over endless swiping. We need a room full of hot people and some real life intrigue. Or at least a night out that doesn’t feel like a job interview.

How it works :

You show up.
You fill out a short, slightly cryptic questionnaire — the kind that makes you feel things and also wonder, “How is this relevant?”

Then?
The algorithm takes over.
(Not in a dystopian way. In a “maybe this will help me make out with someone interesting” way.)

All night, you’ll get clues.
Hints. Vibes. Little nudges toward the person Matchbox thinks might be your match.

Yes, there’s actual science behind it.
Matchbox uses relationship research, a little AI, and a Nobel Prize-winning matching theory to pair people up.
It’s the same team behind the viral Marriage Pact that’s matched over half a million people at 100+ colleges.

And finally—
After mingling, cocktails, and maybe a few false leads… the countdown begins.
Matches are revealed.

We’re not saying it’ll work. We’re not saying it won’t.

Maybe it’s nothing.
Maybe it’s something.
Maybe it’s everything.

Who’s to say?

Ticket Includes: admission to event & all night happy hour at the Craft.

Who it’s for:

  • This event is for people 25-35 interested in the opposite gender

  • The matching process is highly intentional—come with an open mind!

  • If your match isn’t love at first sight, that’s okay! The algorithm is designed for long-term compatibility, so at baseline, you’ll be values-aligned.

  • At the end of the day, this will be a great group of single people. Enjoy meeting everyone, and remember to be kind.

Event Structure:

  • This event is highly intentional and the matching will proceed on schedule. Please be on time.

FAQs:

Q: What age range is the event for? A: This event is for mid-twenties to mid-thirties.

Q: What if I don't get a match?

A: We aim to maintain a 50/50 male to female ratio but cannot guarantee that all attendees will show up, as life happens. If there is an uneven split, some matches will be paired platonically. These people receive a free ticket to a future event of their choice, valid for 60 days after this event.

Q: What is your refund policy? A: We need to balance the party, and that involves planning! So no refunds can be granted within 4 days of the event, although in rare cases we may be able to extend a credit to a future event. Same day cancellations/ no shows cannot be refunded or credited.

Disclaimer: We however cannot guarantee that matches will click romantically and cannot control any individual's attraction to other people. That is to say it is possible that the person you match with doesn't work out. This is why we provide opportunities to mingle with everyone throughout the party! Refunds will not be offered if you don't like your match or if you match has found a connection with someone else.
