Where nightlife meets meet-cute.
Short, clear, respectful, and built to protect everyone's experience.
Respect the Format
Each round is 4 minutes. When the bell rings, conversations end - with grace, not debate.
No Exchanging Contact Info
No phone numbers, no Instagrams, no "look me up."
Matches are revealed the next day via email.
This keeps the event safe, fair, and drama-free - and makes your first date even more iconic.
Check In & Get Your Number Tag
You'll receive your name tag with:
-Your participant number (1-40).
-Your color tag (GA or VIP)
-Optional T/B/V code so we can balance your rounds.
Names are not used during rotations - it keeps flirting mysterious.
Bottoms Stay Seated
To ensure chemistry and balance based on your preferences (top, bottom, verse), tops move table to table while bottoms stay stationary and verse have a choice.
No Physical Contact Beyond a Handshake
Flirting? Yes. Touching? No.
Keep it cute and keep it respectful.
Drinks Are Encouraged, Not Mandatory
Hydrate. Pace yourself.
We're matchmaking, not hosting a frat party.
Submit Your Matches by Midnight
After the event, you'll email us:
-Your Name.
-Your Participant Number.
-The numbers of the people you'd like to match with (max 3 romantic choices, max 3 new potential friendship choices).
Matches only count if both parties choose each other.
If one side chooses the other as both a potential romantic choice and potential new friend, and the other side only chooses one or the other, that chosen option will be the selected match.
