Saturday | Sugar Mouse (AI Valentines Day Mystery Match + Game Night Ages 25-35) | NYC

We're taking over Sugar Mouse for our Valentine's Day Mystery Match Game Night Mixer!

Expect classic crowd favorites like Uno, Jenga, Connect 4, and more. Whether you’re in it to win or just vibing with the energy, this is your chance to meet other singles who love a good game (and maybe a little bit of friendly trash talk).

Matching will be powered 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!

Who it’s for:

• This event is for people 25-35

What to expect:

• The matching process is highly intentional—come with an open mind.
• 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.

FAQs:

Q: What age range is the event for? A: This event is for mid-twenties to mid-thirties.

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.

Q: What is your refund policy? A: We need to balance the party, and that involves planning! So no refunds can be granted, although in rare cases we may be able to extend a credit to a future event.

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

💜 Good vibes only. Games, drinks, and connection — all in one night.

🎫 When the event sells out there will be more tickets released at 4.00pm on the day of the event and entrance will be at the venues/hosts discretion.

⏰ PLEASE AIM TO ARRIVE FOR 4.00PM!

🪪 PHYSICAL I.D. REQUIRED. NO REFUNDS. 25-35

✅ You do not need to match with someone on the app to come to an event.

🥰 Many attendees (40%) come by themselves, so even if you’re the only single in your friendship group, don’t hesitate to join us solo. You’ll find yourself in great company.
