Think drinks in a great bar\, loads of arcade games and a few introd uctions to groups of people with similar interests and everyone single. Yo ur ticket includes: being matched using our technology with groups of peop le who have similar interests 10 arcade game tokens light optional icebrea kers team haystack making introductions access to our "missed connections" programme where we invite people to connect who didn't exchange phone num bers (please note this is dependent on both sides expressing interest and there is a process in place) We're a small business and we absolutely bloo dy love what we do\, if you have any questions please get in touch and ple ase feel free to check out our reviews here! 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 - head to your first game to meet a gr oup of people who we've used to science to curate you with. nothing intens e\, just a half an hour drink and game with people with similar interests \, age appropriate and who also happen to be single. we've updated our tec h so groups are now optimised for both romantic but also plutonic matches e.g people of your gender who we hope could become mates. 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. afte r half an hour\, we'll take a short drinks/bathroom break then if you'll h ead to the next game to meet another group of people you have things in co mmon with with\, with the added bonus of knowing everyone is single everyo ne then gets a bonus 10 arcade tokens to enjoy with everyone else in the r oom! After groups - everyone then gets a bonus 10 arcade tokens to enjoy w ith everyone else in the room and the event basically becomes a bar\, full of interesting people who want to meet new people and none of the "I wond er if they're single" situation 11.30 pm - event closes See you at Carouse l? FAQs Are dating events worth it? We have worked very hard to make event s 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 i nto fun entertainment\, and match single people together into groups on th e evening so you can go on multiple dates in a low-pressure environment. T here are always new dating apps popping up\, which all have the same cultu re of ghosting\, shallowness\, and let's be honest we can barely keep up w ith 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 re ps\, 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 algor ithm. We re-invest profit into fun entertainment on the evening so you hav e a great night regardless - and host a range of events from relaxed drink s 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 questio ns about yourself mapped around research we conducted to what leads to mea ningful connections. We then run this through our algorithm which is a pro pietary points based matching system using python to detect similarities b etween each person based on different parameters. We then spend hours goin g 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 approp riate. 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\, both this and our code of conduct 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 th e scenes before events to get everyone matched into great groups. If you n eed 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 aro und. As with every other events company in our space\, we are unable to fa cilitate refunds\, but we will always do our 100% best to find a solve!x W hat’s the age group? The average age is 33 but we tend to attract from e arly 20s to mid 40s and groupings take age into account. Is this event whe elchair accessible? Yes\, we will never work with a venue that isn’t :) Is this a speed dating event? Absolutely not. The thought of having to eff ectively pitch yourself\, every two minutes\, to a stranger\, is our worst nightmare and feels the furthest thing in the world away from natural. Th ese events are designed to feel organic and literally like you're having a drink with a group of new friends\, in a great venue. You'll never see or feel any of the science we do behind the scenes and we match in groups to take the pressure off a one on one meet-up. Zero pressure\, literally jus t fun\, kind people\, who have similar interests and also happen to be sin gle. 94% of people come alone\, which we've found creates a really friendl y atmosphere where it never feels weird to strike up a conversation (which let's be honest\, in pubs in the uk\, is very rare lol)\n\nBoletos: https ://www.fatsoma.com/e/sf0s6k9u/singles-games-night-carousel-leeds-thursday- 22nd-october URL;VALUE=URI:https://360exp.net/events/58613e36-dbfd-47d7-8247-050535332e8 7 STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
