You’re invited to participate in Offline Valentine - a cleverly crafted singles event which spans three hours. Enjoy our fun ice-breaker, participate in a sharing game using a famous set of 36 questions, and mingle with quality singles. 

Once you book your ticket, our professional matchmaker calls you (up to 2-3 months before the event) to discuss your match (or partner) for the sharing game (36 questions in one hour). After an hour of mingling, you'll sit in pre-determined pairs to exchange answers to 36 questions which are scientifically proven to create closeness. These questions have resulted in love and eventually marriage. We supply you with the 36 questions on the night to help generate intimacy and chemistry.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Those who book a Match Me ticket receive premium matchmaking, which means they play the sharing game (36 questions) with a highly personalised match to see if a romantic connection can be created. 

Those who book a General Admission ticket are paired with a basic match or "game partner"; someone of a similar age (opposite gender) to do the experiment with (who may, or may not, be a potential love match).

TESTIMONIALS & FEEDBACK

"Good way to meet new people and hopefully meet someone special. It is a lot of fun."

"This event was amazingly well-run with outstanding preparation with regular emails and videos, good quality people were attracted to the event. The 36 Questions done in pairs created a fun vibe for the night."

"Take a chance. Forget all the expectations and just be in the moment. You might not find love but you will definitely meet some great people with interesting stories."

"I would say it was very well organised and a lot of thought went into making it a great night. The questions were not as intense or as confronting as I thought they may have been, it made a big difference in reading through them prior to the event."

"We were a good match on some key levels. He was willing to go deep and vulnerable and to me that’s key to relating. I think he got a bit freaked out at the rapid opening, and we both felt intense feelings, and he expressed fear of too much too soon. We chatted about that openly too, it was great. Exchanged numbers, had a goodnight text… if nothing else, it was a deeply moving loving experience last night. I live for that stuff!!!"

"Good experiment to get talking with people. Don't beat yourself up over not clicking with your match - and please STAY FOR THE MINGLING AFTERWARDS. If you leave early, you miss a plethora of opportunities!"

"This was a very safe space full of like-minded people. All were respectful and happy to have a chat no matter if there was romantic attraction or not. It felt like we all supported each other on this night, even though we were strangers."

"Having common values makes a huge difference to the match. When we compared our cards, we had at least 8 similarities (not married, no kids, wants kids, volunteers, values driven, similar interests, professionals) and that made all the difference."
