About this Event

NYC Bingo Speed Dating Event – Limited Spots Available!

Tickets are limited and this event is expected to sell out quickly, so grab yours as soon as possible. Ticket prices increase as the event date approaches.


What Is Bingo Speed Dating?

Welcome to Bingo Speed Dating, a fun and interactive twist on traditional speed dating.

During the event, you’ll go on 7–12 mini dates, each lasting about 5 minutes. Women remain seated while men rotate from table to table so everyone gets the chance to meet.

At the beginning of the event, you’ll receive a Bingo card. Throughout your speed dating rounds, your goal is to complete as many Bingo squares as possible by finding people who match the descriptions.

Examples include:

  • Find someone who has more than 2 pets
  • Find someone with blue eyes
  • Find someone who has seen every Harry Potter movie
  • Find someone who is a school teacher
  • Find someone who has traveled to more than two countries this year
  • Find someone whose zodiac sign is Capricorn

During your mini dates you might ask questions like:

  • “Do you have more than two pets?”
  • “Have you traveled to more than two countries this year?”

Meanwhile, the host will occasionally call out Bingo numbers throughout the event (like B6, N32, etc.).

Complete the pattern and shout “BINGO!” 🎉

We’ll keep playing even after the first winner, so multiple winners and prizes are common.


Why People Love This Event

It’s interactive, fun, and engaging — and a lot more exciting than swiping through dating apps.

Best of all, you’ll experience real conversations, genuine connections, and a relaxed environment where you can quickly see if there’s chemistry.


How Matching Works

You’ll receive a match card to fill out during the event. After each mini date, simply mark whether you’d like to see that person again.

At the end of the night, turn in your match card to the host. If two people select each other, we’ll send both of you an email within 48 hours containing each other’s first name and email address so you can plan a future date.

We only share contact information when there is a mutual match.


Meet Quality Singles

Our events typically attract single professionals who are serious about meeting someone special and are ready to move beyond the games often found in online dating.

Most people know within just a few minutes whether they’d like to see someone again — which is why speed dating works so well.


Skip the Endless Swiping

Let’s face it: many of us are tired of endlessly swiping and wondering if someone actually looks like their profile.

At this event, you’ll meet people face-to-face, making it easier to connect and decide if you'd like to continue getting to know someone.


Event Notes
  • Check-in begins 15 minutes before the event, so please arrive a little early if possible.
  • Most attendees come alone, so don’t worry if you’re coming by yourself. About 90% of participants attend solo, and the format makes it easy to meet people quickly.
