The Story Welcome to the Annual Halloween Gala at Mount Mystery Manor. Tuck your modern worries away—and hope you live to unpack them. The Setting: Mount Mystery Manor Deep in the isolated woods of upstate New York stands Mount Mystery Manor. Built 200 years ago, this sprawling estate was once a booming vacation destination for the high-society elite. Today, it is a decaying curiosity. It serves as the ultimate escape for city dwellers looking to completely drop off the grid. The cell service is nonexistent. The isolation is total. For decades, rumors of violent history, strange shadows, and unexplained activity have plagued the grounds. It is the perfect place for a haunting. The Night: Halloween Tonight, the wind is howling through the pines, and the owners are throwing their legendary annual Halloween party. The grand ballroom is lit by candlelight. The floorboards creak underfoot. The Guest List: A Dangerous Mix You look around the room and realize you are surrounded by an unpredictable crowd: The Regulars: City folk just looking for a quiet weekend away from the noise. The Halloween Enthusiasts: Costumed partygoers looking for a good drink and a scary theme. The Paranormal Investigators: Thrill-seekers equipped with cameras, hoping to catch a glimpse of a real ghost. The Twist: True Terror Arrives As the clock strikes midnight, the party shifts from festive to frightening. The lights flicker and die. The temperature drops to freezing. The boundary between our world and the supernatural vanishes, and the manor’s long-whispered legends come alive. Then, the screaming starts. A body is found cold, lifeless, and brutally murdered in the heart of the manor. Your Mission: Trust No One The storm outside has washed out the only road back to civilization. Help is not coming. The killer is in the room, and the ghosts of the manor are watching. Was it a vengeful spirit, or is there a flesh-and-blood monster hiding behind a costume? Look closely at your friends. Question every motive. Everyone is a suspect. **Please note:** The murder mystery party in NOT a dinner event. Food is available for you to order. This event is for socializing and fun only. **Can I come alone?** Yes, most guests do! It’s a great way to meet new people. **Dress Code:** Come as you are or in costume! **Ages:** 21+ **Questions?** Email Dave Cervini at dave@newyorksocialnetwork.com or call 212.873.2256, M-F 10am to 4pm. Nonrefundable unless canceled. This event is nonrefundable.

Do your dates resemble job interviews more than actual chemistry? Sick of dedicating your entire evening to getting to know just one person? Then check out **“Dating Games” Speed Dating!** It’s a lively, modern twist on the classic format. Join us for a one-of-a-kind social experience for NYC singles! Meet new people, win raffle prizes, and connect with other fun, like-minded singles. It’s not only a great way to meet a potential partner—it’s also perfect for finding new friends or even future wingmen/wingwomen. **Suggested age range: 20s, 30s & 40s.** Our warm, welcoming host will get things started before dividing everyone into small groups at various tables. You’ll chat, mingle, and play lighthearted social games with groups of about 4–5 singles. The games are easy, super fun, and designed to help everyone open up and connect. After each round, you’ll rotate tables—just like traditional speed dating—so you'll eventually meet all the singles attending. You’ll also receive a “match sheet,” where you can mark anyone you’d like to speak with again. If they choose you as well, the host will email you each other’s contact information within roughly 24 hours so you can plan a date. Let’s be honest—we’re all tired of endless swiping on apps and meeting people who may not be anything like their profiles. A “Dating Games” Speed Dating night is a far better way to connect because you meet real people *in person* and get a genuine sense of who they are. This is an entirely new, innovative take on speed dating! We appreciate the idea behind traditional speed dating, but it can be tough to keep conversations flowing. That’s why at “Dating Games” events, you’ll have entertaining, easy-to-play games to help break the ice and avoid the typical interview-style awkwardness. We find this format helps people connect more naturally and meaningfully. ### WIN PRIZES! You’ll enjoy an evening full of fresh faces, interactive games, and social fun—no special skills needed, just a little luck! Our friendly host will guide the whole experience and help everyone get acquainted. Throughout the night you’ll play multiple games while getting opportunities to interact with all the singles of the opposite sex. When you win a game, you earn a raffle ticket—giving you chances to win prizes! ### IMPORTANT: THIS IS A PRE-PAY EVENT ONLY Tickets **must** be purchased online in advance—registration at the venue will *not* be available. As the event nears and space becomes limited, the price will increase to $35. *See more upcoming NYC events at [WWW.FRIENDZYEVENTS.COM](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dating-games-a-fun-twist-on-speed-dating-in-nyc-tickets-1982239058384?aff=oddtdtcreator)* For tickets and information: [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2002594423830](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2002594423830)
