Please note that this is private ticketed event only!** About NYC BRIGHTEST: we implement curated events such as wine/spirit tastings, speed dating’s, game nights, singles/socials and networking in cool and chic venues, please navigate below to.. **[http://nycbrightest.com](http://nycbrightest.com/ "http://nycbrightest.com/"),** [NYC BRIGHTEST SINGLES/SOCIAL CONNECTIONS](https://www.eventbrite.com/manage/events/1987477638117/details "https://www.eventbrite.com/manage/events/1987477638117/details") [UNIQUE SPEED DATING EVENTS!](https://www.eventbrite.com/manage/events/1987477638117/details "https://www.eventbrite.com/manage/events/1987477638117/details") [Wine And Spirit Tastings by NYC Brightest!](https://www.eventbrite.com/manage/events/1987477638117/details "https://www.eventbrite.com/manage/events/1987477638117/details") and follow NYC_Brightest on Instagram! WHAT GAMES WILL WE BE PLAYING? They are simple but extremely fun games that don’t require much skill… they are mostly fun games of luck and chance to get the crowd mingling and having a good time. The fun games are set up to break the ice, help you gauge compatibility and make quality connections. Some of the games are similar to the most popular party games, others are like casino games that involve rolling dice and some are a little bit different, but we assure you… they are really, really fun and you don’t need to know how to play anything in particular (ie. we won’t be playing blackjack or poker or anything like that). An example game we sometimes 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 dates 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 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 and movie/TV show 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. FAQ: What is the age range? 20’S,30’S,40’S. WHY IT WORKS! Through the years we’ve organized many speed dating events. We had a host that would sometimes invite the guests to stay around if they wanted to after the event to play some games. She would bring some fun interactive games and casino type games of chance/luck with her. We noticed something fascinating start to happen! More people would make connections at the games after the event than at the actual speed dating! That led us to creating this event. It’s the perfect way to meet people in this busy city! **ABOUT NYC BRIGHTEST: we implemen**t **a variety of high-quality diverse events such as** **unique themed wine and spirit tastings, networking, singles, socials and speed dating in cool and chic venues!
