We’re bringing something different to The Espy. This isn’t just another singles night… this is AI Mystery Match.

Before the event, you’ll answer a few questions. On the night, you’ll receive your 3 best matched people in the room. No guessing. No awkward wandering. Just three curated connections waiting to be discovered.

Then it’s up to you. Find them. Flirt with them. See if the algorithm got it right.

Expect iconic Espy energy, drinks flowing, and a packed room of singles ready to test fate… with a little help from tech.

Just a bar. Everyone single.

Get your ticket and meet your top three.

Matching will be powered by Matchbox.
It’s a software that uses relationship science to find you your most compatible match at the party. It’s also the same technology behind the Marriage Pact, a tradition at 100+ universities that's matched more than half a million people to date.
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!
