    NYC Bingo Speed Dating Event: Spots Are Limited & Will Likely Sell Out So Get Ticket ASAP. Price Goes Up As Event Date Approaches.
    Welcome to Bingo Speed Dating... At this event you will be going on a series of about 8 to 15 mini dates with each date lasting about 5 minutes each. Women stay seated and the men rotate from table to table until they meet each woman.
    At the start of the event you'll be given a Bingo sheet. During your speed dating rounds you'll have to get as many Bingo squares as possible checked off. The winners get prizes!
    To check off a square, you’ll need to find someone who matches it..
    For example:
    ---> Find someone who has more than 2 pets
    ---> Find someone with blue eyes
    ---> Find someone who has seen every Harry Potter movie
    ---> Find someone who is a school teacher
    ---> Find someone who has traveled to more than 2 countries this year
    ---> Find someone with the birth sign Capricorn
    So on your speed date you might ask the person questions like, "Do you have more than 2 pets?" or "Have you traveled to more than 2 countries this year?"
    Oh, and throughout the event the host will occasionally be calling off Bingo numbers (ie. B6, N32, etc.)
    If you complete a row, column, or diagonal… You shout: “BINGO!” 🎉 Once someone wins Bingo, we keep playing until someone else wins (We often have multiple winners so multiple prizes will be give out!)

    It’s interactive. It’s engaging. It’s way more fun than a dating app!
    Best of all? You get genuine connection, real conversation, and a safe, low-pressure way to see if there’s a spark!
    You will also get a match card and at the end of each mini-date you'll indicate whether or not you'd like to see the person again. At the end of the evening you will hand your match card in to the event host. If you both select each other, we will send you each others' email address within 48 hours so you can set up a future date! Within 48 hrs, you'll receive an email with the first name and email of your mutual matches. We do not give out names or contact info unless there is a mutual match.
    Our Speed Dating events tend to attract quality, single professionals who are done with the dating games and ready to meet that special someone. Most people know within a few minutes if they would like to see someone again.
    This Event Beats The Endless Swiping On Dating Apps!
    Let’s be honest — we’re all exhausted from the endless swiping on dating apps and wondering if someone actually looks like their profile picture. At this event you skip the guesswork and meet real people face-to-face before deciding if you’d like to take things further!
    * Check in starts 15 minutes before event start time so if possible please arrive a bit early.
    * QUICK NOTE: MOST PEOPLE COME BY THEMSELF SO DON'T WORRY IF YOU'RE COMING ON ALONE. 90% OF PEOPLE WILL BE COMING BY THEMSELF. YOU'LL MEET AND GET TO KNOW PEOPLE QUICKLY! *

    "I loved that it didn’t feel forced or awkward. The Bingo gave us something to laugh about and instantly broke the ice." – Priya K.
    "I’ve tried dating apps for years and this felt so much more genuine. You actually get to see someone’s personality right away." – Mark D.
    "I appreciated how natural everything felt. It didn’t feel like an interview — it felt like a party but I really got to know the other people at the same time." – Sofia R.
