How the Night Works

• The Hot Seats: Five brave singles take the stage, putting their charm, humor, and quick thinking to the test under pressure.

• The Speed Mingle Mixer: When the stage cools down, the room opens up. Grab a craft brew and use the stage answers as instant, effortless conversation starters with everyone in the room.
• The Hot Seat Perk: Step up to the stage and score FREE admission to our next Speed Mingle event. You bring the bravery; we pay for your next night out.
