AI Matchbox Dating | Hail Mary | Toronto

This is your sign to try something new - just a bar, everyone single with AI matching powered by Matchbox and a night that’s all about meeting IRL.

We’re taking over Hail Mary for a night of great drinks, good vibes, and discovering who your most compatible match in the room might be.

❤️‍🔥 MATCHING POWERED BY MATCHBOX

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.

The algorithm optimizes for long-term compatibility, based on values—but it’s up to you to see if you click.

🧠 HOW IT WORKS

1. Upon arrival, you’ll take a short matching questionnaire built by Matchbox’s research team and curated by your hosts.
2. The Matchbox algorithm uses relationship science, AI, and Nobel Prize-winning behavioral economics to identify your optimal match in the room.
3. After mingling with the whole group, a series of clues brings you closer.
4. Matches are revealed later in the night.

🌟 WHO IT’S FOR

What to expect:
