Join us for a most interesting speed dating event!
About this Event

A DATE & PLAY speed dating event is a much better way to meet someone because you actually get to meet singles in person and really get to know them. Our friendly host will welcome everyone and then you’ll be grouped off into separate tables where you’ll get to meet, chat with and play fun social games with other singles in small groups of about 4 or 5 people. Then, similar to traditional speed dating, you’ll rotate from table to table getting a chance to meet all the other singles in attendance. You’ll be handed a “match sheet” and at the end of the event you’ll be able to indicate people you’d like to talk to again in the future.

If they also choose you, our host will send you each other’s contact information within about 24 hours after the event and you can feel free to set up a date with them. You’ll enjoy an evening of meeting new people, fun social interactions and games… No skill necessary, just a bit of luck! Our friendly host will be orchestrating the event and making introductions among the group. You’ll participate in several games during the evening while getting a chance to interact with all members of the opposite sex. Win a game, get a raffle ticket for chances to win prizes!


This is a NYC BRIGHTEST partner event which is well organized. For all upcoming events including unique themed wine and spirit tastings, networking, singles, socials and speed dating in cool and chic venues please navigate to http://nycbrightest.com


WHAT GAMES WILL WE BE PLAYING? They are simple but extremely fun games that don’t require much skill… they are mostly fun games of luck and chance to get the crowd mingling and having a good time. The fun games are set up to break the ice, help you gauge compatibility and make quality connections. Some of the games are similar to the most popular party games, others are like casino games that involve rolling dice and some are a little bit different, but we assure you… they are really, really fun and you don’t need to know how to play anything in particular (ie. we won’t be playing blackjack or poker or anything like that).


An example game we sometimes like to play is “Dating Feud” which is similar to the popular prime time TV show we all know. In this game you and your dates will be asked fun relationship style questions like, “Name a gift that women love men to give them”. You will work together with a small group of singles to come up with what you think is the most popular answer and then you’ll find out if you got the top answer. Another game we play is “Would You Rather” where we ask you fun questions like “Would you rather live the rest of your life without ever being able to watch and movie/TV show or would you rather never be able to listen to any song/music again?”. You answer the question and then you have to try and pick the most popular answer. FAQ: What is the age range? 20’S,30’S,40’S. WHY IT WORKS! Through the years we’ve organized many speed dating events. We had a host that would sometimes invite the guests to stay around if they wanted to after the event to play some games. She would bring some fun interactive games and casino type games of chance/luck with her. We noticed something fascinating start to happen! More people would make connections at the games after the event than at the actual speed dating! That led us to creating this event. It’s the perfect way to meet people in this busy city!
