Big Singles Bash

We cracked the code on how to make dating not suck. And we’re running the experiment again with 100 of the smartest, warmest, most emotionally available singles in the city. On Aug 26th, we’re taking over the upstairs of Bow Market for a one-night-only social experiment disguised as a party. This isn’t speed dating or another awkward mixer. It’s structured chaos, backed by psychology, built by scientists and matchmakers who know what actually sparks connection. Every time we switch up what social expirement we are running next to help you connect more authentically. You’ll move through a series of flirty, fast-paced games and curated conversations - designed to help you challenge your “type,” rethink your assumptions, and talk to people you wouldn’t normally meet (and might actually like). You’ll have the chance to talk to a lot of people - but nothing is forced. Every game is optional and built to give you an easy way in, not box you into awkward moments. 82% of past attendees said they made a connection they wanted to follow up on. “I felt more chemistry here in 90 minutes than I have on 90 apps.” – probably someone’s soulmate Themed cocktails from The Bar at Nook will keep things loose. We’ll guide you through the night - whether you’re an overthinker, a slow burner, or someone who thrives in organized chaos. And when you do meet someone you click with? Our signature calling card system lets you safely exchange info only if you both want to. No pressure, no awkward ask - just connection, on your terms. Afterward, linger in Bow Market’s cozy corners or wine bars and see where the night takes you. Our last 10 events sold out in advance. This one will too! Come solo. Bring your single friends. Just don’t wait.
