    *TO ATTEND REGISTER AT - [https://www.socialevents123.com/event-details.aspx?id=12958#tix ](https://www.socialevents123.com/event-details.aspx?id=12958#tix )(*Multiple Meetup groups are co-organizing so RSVP's shown are just a small % attending.

    ABOUT:
    Do you know more than 6th Graders! Here is your opportunity to have some fun playing our Live interactive trivia game (Categories will be History, English/literature, Geography, Science, Math, Potpori).

    HOW IT WORKS:
    You can attend via a computer & Webcam or Smartphone/Ipad/Tablet.
    This completely online event will be LIVE and you will be able to see and hear the other participants while playing. In addition you get to meet and interact with other participants.

    At game time, your host will read off Trivia questions. Your goal is to come up with the right answer to each question and write it down on your paper. Once the round is over (about 6 questions), we will go through the answers and determine who had the highest score for the round. They will get a raffle ticket for a chance to win a prize at the end of the event.

    We will have multiple rounds of play and have a system to also virtually introduce you to other participants.

    HOW DO YOU FIND THE VIRTUAL ROOM:
    After you purchase your ticket, you will get a confirmation with the zoom link ON DAY OF THE EVENT.

    (These sell out quickly so if you'd like participate, please register ASAP. Multiple groups are co-organizing so the RSVP's shown are just a small portion attending. We have a good # registered and we keep the gender ratio even.)

    This is the perfect event to meet singles from the tri-state area - all from the comfort of your own home. Get to meet people online before meeting them in person! You will meet singles via your computer with webcam or smartphone/tablet (strong WiFi connection required if using a phone).

    HOW DOES IT WORK?

    We will break participants into pairs of two, just like we do with traditional speed dating. You will get to speak to each dates for a specified amount of time (typically 4-6 minutes). After the specified number of minutes, the guys will rotate to the next date and the process continues.

    Just like with traditional speed dating, at the end of the event you will be able to let us know who you were interested in. We will send you both mutual matches (you picked them and they picked you) as well as one way matches (they picked you but you did not pick them).

    You are given 20 minutes from the end of the event to let us know who you are interested in and will receive the results the same night (usually within one hour) or the next morning. You will not have to wait 24 hours or more to get your results.

    The minimum number of potential dates will be 5 and the maximum will be about 10. If there are less than 5 members of the opposite sex in attendance, you will get credit for a future virtual event.

    How do I find the Zoom Room?

    After you purchase your ticket, you will get a confirmation appear on your screen along with the Zoom link for you to use to log in.

    Cost? Between $23-$25 depending on how early you register.

    Rsvps on here are not reflective of actual attendance as this is a multi group event.

  • Singles Trivia Night

    Singles Trivia Night

    St Pat's Bar and Grill , 22 W 46th St, New York, NY, US

    *TO ATTEND GET TICKETS AT: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/singles-trivia-night-tickets-1671013679899 (*First 5 ladies save $5 by using discount code LADIES at checkout.)

    Do you love trivia? Are you looking to meet some new friends? Are you looking for that special someone? Well come on out to this fun new event in NYC! It's a singles trivia night from 7:00 - 9:00 PM every other Thursday.
    You will be playing a variety of trivia games. When you arrive we will put you on a team. Teams will be mixed genders and we will rotate teams each round (so all girls meet all guys there; you will rotate with your wingmen/ wingwomen which is a great way to meet new friends as well).

    • We expect about 80% of people to come on their own so it's the perfect event to come to by yourself but also feel free to come with a friend or 2.

    You'll answer fun trivia questions in all of your favorite categories like pop culture, history, entertainment (music, movies & TV), arts & literature, science and more. You'll be working with your group to come up with answers and never put "on the spot" having to answer anything by yourself so it's low pressure and lots of fun!

    • The winning group will win 50% off their next trivia night (your scores will be added from each round). and the 2nd place team will win 25% off their next trivia night.

    * We give everyone "connect cards" at the beginning of the event. You can write your name and email address on the cards and hand them out throughout the night so people you meet can easily stay in touch with with you if they'd like to.
