I have some great contacts in Scandinavia from our previous Northern Lights and Iceland trips. We’re almost done, and I’m planning on announcing and opening it up by the end of next week.
As usual, people on the pre-registration list will get an email before everyone else to get first dibs on registration and discounts. So, put your name down here, and keep your eyes peeled next week

You're welcome to hop on by yourself or join with friends. About 75% of people sign up by themself so don't worry if you're coming on alone! Our host will make introductions and put you on a team with other people so it's a great way to make new friends. It's a fantastic way to meet new people and we've witnessed countless friendships sparked at this event. In fact, the host gives everyone the opportunity to swap contact info with other people in the group at the end of the night if they'd like to. If you sign up with friends, the host will make sure to put you on a team with your friends.
** WE HAVE LIMITED SPOTS AVAILABLE SO SIGN UP ASAP TO MAKE SURE YOU GET A SPOT **
* The event host will group you off into teams and you'll be playing as a team against the other groups. You're never put on the spot to come up with answers... you'll be working with your team to answer the questions. You'll answer great trivia questions in all of your favorite categories like pop culture, history, entertainment (music, movies & TV), arts & literature, science and more. The winning team gets a prize!

(The awesome part about this event is that you'll always be working with your team to come up with answers so you're never put directly on the spot to have to answer anything).
* We have several unique rounds of trivia which keeps it really fun and exciting. Some rounds are like traditional trivia nights (simply answering trivia questions), other rounds are totally unique and change at each event. Sometimes we may show you a series of photos and ask you trivia questions about the photos, other times we play games like "Reverse Family Feud" where you'd have to guess the least popular answers to our question (it's soooo much fun!), or sometimes we'll play a "Find The Common Link" game where you'll have to answer some questions and figure out the common link between all the answers.
** RSVPing on Meetup does not get you a spot. You have to sign up through the Eventbrite link.

- Los Angeles Singles Online Speed Dating Event - On ZoomLink visible for attendees$21.70
Get tickets at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1260509932139
Get ready for a fun night at this revolutionary new event that's the best way to meet other singles in your area from the comfort of your own home on Zoom. Grab some snacks or even a cocktail and come try out the event that's being called, "A fun new twist on speed dating!". Let's face it, we're all tired of the endless swiping on dating apps and interacting with people who may or may not look like or be like the person they're portraying on the apps. A Dating Games Online Speed Dating Game Night is a much better way to meet someone because you actually get to interact with people on video (Zoom) before committing to a real life date. This is the safest and best way to meet someone!
* GO TO THE EVENTBRITE LINK TO SEE THE EVENT AGE RANGE.
Our friendly host will welcome everyone and then you'll be put into breakout rooms where you'll get to meet, chat with and play fun social games with the other singles in attendance. At the end of the event you'll be able to select people you'd like to stay in touch with (the matching works similar to traditional speed dating... we explain the matching in more detail below).
Find out why this event has been called, "The best way to meet quality singles in the modern age". No more endless swiping on dating apps!
QUICK NOTE - WE WILL ALSO HAVE SOME SINGLES FROM A FEW OTHER NEARBY CALIFORNIA CITIES IN ATTENDANCE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A NICE BIG CROWD AND A MORE FUN EVENT BUT WE WILL MAKE SURE YOU MEET EVERYONE FROM YOUR CITY AND WE WILL HAVE PLENTY OF PEOPLE FROM LOS ANGELES ATTENDING.
WHAT IS THIS EVENT ALL ABOUT?
This is entirely new and revolutionary type of event for singles! We love the idea of traditional speed dating but sometimes it's hard to come up with things to talk about. That's why at a Dating Games Online Speed Dating Game Night you'll have fun, easy games to play to get to know everyone instead of dealing with the usual dating "job interview" type questions. We find that it's a much better way to get to know someone! You'll be put in Zoom breakout rooms with a small group of singles and you'll play games that will help you get to know each other. Some rounds you may be with small groups of 4 to 7 people and some rounds you may be 1 on 1 with someone of the opposite gender much like traditional speed dating. Essentially, you'll work with the other people as a team and compare answers with the other teams. Each round we change up the teams to make sure you get to meet and get to know everyone in attendance (we explain the games in more detail below).HOW THE MATCHING WORKS:
Similar to traditional speed dating, at the end of the event the host will explain how you can keep in contact with anyone that you are interested in seeing again. We allow people to match as "friends" so you can meet wingmen and/or wingwomen at this event and we also allow people to match with people as potential love interests whom they'd like to see again for future dates.QUICK NOTE: TICKET PRICE GOES UP AS EVENT TIME APPROACHES. THIS EVENT WILL LIKELY SELL OUT BY EVENT TIME AND WE HAVE LIMITED SPOTS AVAILABLE AT EACH EVENT SO GRAB YOUR TICKET ASAP!
AN EMAIL WE RECENTLY RECEIVED:
I wanted to write to thank you for putting on such a a great event. I attended the speed dating game night last week and it was so much fun! I wanted a change up from the dating apps and this event hit was exactly what I hoped for. Your host was so nice and welcoming. I met a lot of people and everyone was really friendly. I am staying in touch with a few people from the event and actually set up a date for this upcoming weekend with one of the guys I met during the event. Once again, just want to thank you for holding such a quality event!
- LauraWHAT KIND OF GAMES WILL WE BE PLAYING?
The fun games are set up to break the ice, help you gauge compatibility, make quality connections and to have a really fun night. An example game we like to play is "Dating Feud" which is similar to the popular prime time TV show we all know. In this game you and your group will be asked fun relationship style questions like, "Name a gift that women love men to give them". You will work together with a small group of singles to come up with what you think is the most popular answer and then you'll find out if you got the top answer. Another game we might play is called Blank Slate. In Blank Slate the host will show you a word followed by a blank. For example: Chicken _________. You'll write down a word that follows the word Chicken such as "Soup". Essentially you're trying to predict what will be a popular answer. We do different fun games at each event we throw! Another game we play is "Would You Rather" where we ask you fun questions like "Would you rather live the rest of your life without ever being able to watch a movie ever again or would you rather never be able to listen to any song/music again?". You answer the question and then you have to try and pick the most popular answer. You're then brought back from the breakout room into the main room to hear how everyone else answered the question. It's so much fun!Thousands of people have met at our events and we've witnessed countless relationships and friendships formed. In fact, because you really get to know people during the games, the chances of meeting someone at a Dating Games Online Speed Dating Game Night are much higher than online dating apps or traditional speed dating events.
MORE DETAILS:
* Once you sign up, you'll be given a link to join a group of other people via video on Zoom. All you need is a laptop, phone or tablet to take part in the event.

Our friendly host will be with you live via video orchestrating the event and even making introductions among the group so you'll get to know the other people attending. It's so much fun!WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE EVENT:
"As a busy professional, I just don't have time to get out and meet people as much as I'd like so this event was like a Godsend for me. It was a refreshingly fantastic experience." - Jennifer S.
"What a fabulous concept. I met some great people and I started dating someone I met at the event." - Hannah M.
"That was an absolute blast!" - Jonathan T.
"The games are the perfect way to tell if you have chemistry with the other people." - Emma D.WHY THIS EVENT WORKS!
For many years we organized in person traditional speed dating events. While waiting for everyone to show up, the host would do some icebreaker style games to "Kill time" until everyone arrived. We noticed something fascinating begin to happen. People got to know each other better and made more connections during the games than they did during the actual speed dating rounds! The games sparked so much conversation and laughs that we thought, "Wow, we should make an entire event like this!". And that is how our Dating Games Online Speed Dating Game Night events were born.FAQ:

We expect a total of about 25 people to attend each event.
