Dates & Games- Speed Dating Alternative

NYC Singles small group speed dating social game night event

A Fun Twist On Speed Dating!

Looking to meet new people in a way that’s way more fun than awkward one-on-ones at a bar? Say goodbye to small talk and hello to laugh-out-loud games, playful group energy, and real connection.

** SUGGESTED AGE RANGE: 20s, 30s & 40s ***

🎉 Welcome to Match Games- Date and Play: a speed dating night that mixes rotating group chats with fun get-to-know you social games.

💡 HOW IT WORKS:

Instead of traditional one-on-one speed dating, you'll rotate in small groups through a series of tables—each with a different interactive game designed to spark conversation, laughter, and maybe even chemistry.

Every 15–20 minutes, a bell rings and groups rotate to a new table with new people and a new game.

You’ll meet everyone of the opposite gender in the room—without the pressure, awkward silences, or scripted questions.

At the end of the night, turn in your match sheet listing anyone you’d like to connect with. If the interest is mutual, we’ll make sure you get each other’s contact info within 48 hours—no pressure, no awkward rejections.

🌟 WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT:

✔️ No forced one-on-one convos✔️ Way more fun than Tinder✔️ Perfect for extroverts and introverts✔️ Games designed to get real conversations flowing✔️ You’ll laugh, flirt, and maybe meet someone amazing

WIN PRIZES!

You’ll enjoy an evening full of fresh faces, interactive games, and social fun—no special skills needed, just a little luck! Our friendly host will guide the whole experience and help everyone get acquainted. Throughout the night you’ll play multiple games while getting opportunities to interact with all the singles of the opposite sex. When you win a game, you earn a raffle ticket—giving you chances to win prizes!

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!

WHAT GAMES WILL WE BE PLAYING?

They are simple but extremely fun games that don't require much skill... they are mostly fun games to get the crowd mingling and having a good time. The 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 .

🎟️ Limited spots available – don’t miss your chance to play the game and win a connection.
