Thursday | Malone's Haymarket MYSTERY MATCH MAKING EVENT | Edinburgh

Just a bar, everyone single. Because the world in 2026 is all about meeting IRL, not on dating apps!

Edinburgh you loved our first Matchbox event in the summer so we listened and we're back with our next AI Matching event, this time in the beautiful Malones bar Haymarket where we have taken over the full upstairs just for us singles ☺️

**Matching is by Matchbox**. It’s a software that uses relationship science to find you your most compatible match at the party. The algorithm has matched more than half a million people to date, across 40 countries. It optimizes for long-term compatibility, based on values—but it’s up to you to see if you’ll click.

*How it works:*

- Upon arrival, you’ll take a matching questionnaire built by Matchbox's team of relationship scientists and curated by your host.

- The Matchbox algorithm will identify your optimal match at the party, based on relationship science, AI, and Nobel Prize-winning economics.

- After mingling with the whole group, matches are revealed!

- If your match isn’t love at first sight, that’s okay! The algorithm is designed for long-term compatibility, so at baseline, you’ll be values-aligned.

- At the end of the day, this will be a great group of single people. Enjoy meeting everyone, and remember to be kind.

**Q: What if I don't get a match?**

A: We aim to maintain a 50/50 male to female ratio but cannot guarantee that all attendees will show up, as life happens. If there is an uneven split, some matches will be paired platonically. These people receive a free ticket to a future event of their choice, valid for 60 days after this event.

See you there!
