Let’s be honest: we’re all tired of endless swiping and wondering whether someone on a dating app really matches their profile. At a Dating Games Online Speed Dating Game Night, you actually meet and interact with people face-to-face on video before deciding to meet in person. It’s a comfortable, low-pressure, and effective way to connect.

THIS IS A MULTI-MEETUP GROUP EVENT. 15 OTHER GROUPS HAVE ALSO BEEN INVITED SO WE'LL BE SURE TO HAVE A GOOD SIZE TURNOUT. THE RSVP LIST ON MEETUP REFLECTS ONLY A SMALL PORTION OF ATTENDEES.

Our friendly host welcomes everyone, then places participants into small Zoom breakout rooms where you’ll meet, chat, and play fun social games with other singles. At the end of the event, you’ll discreetly select the people you’d like to stay in touch with—just like traditional speed dating. If there’s a mutual match, you’ll receive each other’s contact information so you can continue the conversation and potentially set up a real-life date.
See why this event has been called “the best way to meet quality singles in the modern age.” No more endless swiping on dating apps!

### WHAT IS THIS EVENT ALL ABOUT?

This is a fresh take on speed dating. While traditional speed dating is great, it can sometimes feel like a string of “job interview” conversations. At a Dating Games Online Speed Dating Game Night, you’ll play engaging, easy games that naturally spark conversation and help you get to know people in a relaxed, fun way.

You’ll rotate through Zoom breakout rooms in small groups (usually 4–7 people) and sometimes one-on-one, similar to traditional speed dating. Each round, the groups change so you get to meet everyone attending.

### AN EMAIL WE RECENTLY RECEIVED

> “I wanted to thank you for putting on such a great event. I attended the speed dating game night last week and had so much fun! I wanted a change from the dating apps and this was exactly what I hoped for. Your host was so welcoming, and I met a lot of friendly people. I’m staying in touch with a few and even set up a date this weekend with someone I met. Thank you again for such a quality event!”
> — Laura

### WHAT KIND OF GAMES WILL WE BE PLAYING?

The games are designed to break the ice, reveal compatibility, and make the night genuinely fun.
Examples include:

• Dating Feud – Similar to the popular TV show, where teams guess the most popular answers to relationship-style questions.
• Blank Slate – You fill in the blank after a word (e.g., “Chicken ____”) and try to match common answers.
• Would You Rather – Fun, thought-provoking questions where you guess the most popular response.

Between rounds, everyone returns to the main room to share answers and laugh together. Each event features a variety of different games.
Thousands of people have attended our events, and we’ve seen countless friendships and relationships form. Because you interact and laugh together, many attendees find this more effective than dating apps or traditional speed dating.

### MORE DETAILS

After signing up, you’ll receive a Zoom link to join the event. All you need is a laptop, tablet, or phone (a computer or tablet is recommended). Our live host guides the entire evening and helps make introductions so everyone feels comfortable.

### WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“As a busy professional, this was a refreshingly fantastic experience.” — Jennifer S.
“What a fabulous concept. I met great people and started dating someone from the event.” — Hannah M.
“That was an absolute blast!” — Jonathan T.
“The games make it easy to tell if you have chemistry with someone.” — Emma D.

### WHY THIS EVENT WORKS

After years of hosting in-person speed dating events, we noticed that people connected more during the icebreaker games than during the actual speed dating rounds. The games sparked conversation and laughter, so we built an entire event around that idea. That’s how Dating Games Online Speed Dating Game Nights were created.

These events often sell out, and space is limited. Be sure to reserve your spot early.
