GAMES AND DRINKS WITH SINGLES | NEWCASTLE, FAYRE PLAY | THURSDAY 30TH JULY
We are SO excited to be working with the absolute legends at Fayre Play, in the heart of Newcastle city centre.
Think fairground style games, amazing music and everyone single. These guys have everything from basketball challenges to tin can alley and we can confirm their staff have some of the most iconic energy ever...
The plan:
From 6pm - arrive, grab a drink and chat to some new people (94% of people come alone and we float around making intros)
7.30pm - it's game time...you'll be connected to a group of compatible single people and battle head to head, making your way around the fairground style games. we'll mix things up halfway through so you get a chance to meet more people!
the whole point of these groups is to feel like you're having a drink with friends, with the added bonus of meeting new people and knowing everyone is single. we believe dating should be fun, so we're here to bring that back.
After groups - everyone speaks to everyone and our team are all floating if anyone wants wingmanning. the event basically becomes a bar, full of interesting people who want to meet new people and none of the "I wonder if they're single" situation. ideally with everyone holding massive stuffed ducks that they won...
11.30pm - event closes

FAQs
Are dating events worth it?
We have worked very hard to make events for single people that don't feel like a typical "dating event" which we know can feel very overwhelming. We just hire out great venues, invest into fun entertainment, and match single people together into groups on the evening so you can go on multiple dates in a low-pressure environment. There are always new dating apps popping up, which all have the same culture of ghosting, shallowness, and let's be honest we can barely keep up with our family's whatsapp chat let alone a dating app.
What are our dating events?
Our events use the power of tech to connect similar single people together. When you arrive to the venue you'll be greeted by our lovely reps, and then you'll be introduced to your matched group. Depending on the event we will introduce you to another one or two rounds of single people, where we match you by differently weighting the parameters of the algorithm. We re-invest profit into fun entertainment on the evening so you have a great night regardless - and host a range of events from relaxed drinks in a beer garden, to something a bit more active like arcade games, to sporty events such as tag rugby or rock climbing.
How do you match single people?
When you buy a ticket you fill out a short form with some questions about yourself mapped around research we conducted to what leads to meaningful connections. We then run this through our algorithm which is a propietary points based matching system using python to detect similarities between each person based on different parameters. We then spend hours going through each person to make sure there has been no discrepancies in the data and even more hours to make sure the group ages and ratios are appropriate. Afterwards we analyse each table to make sure they are placed near tables we think we will match well, and that are in the best place in the venue based on what we know about the group.
How does it work with data?
All data is securely managed in line with our data policy which can be found here
How does it work with social media?
We’re a sociable bunch and always like to take short video clips for our social media. We’ll always avoid faces wherever possible, but if you’d rather stay 100% off camera please just come and let the team know on the night so we can make a conscious effort to keep you out of any frame!
What's the cancellation policy?
There’s a huge amount of work behind the scenes before events to get everyone matched into great groups. If you need to transfer your ticket to a friend, we do ask please that you pop us an email with their name 7 days before an event so we can move things around. As with every other events company in our space, we are unable to facilitate refunds, but we will always do our 100% best to find a solve!x
