The Lock and Key Icebreaker
Nothing breaks the ice quite like it. We give girls the padlocks and guys get the keys and the aim is to find a matching pair. Try your key with as many locks as possible (or vice versa) and you're bound to find a match.

When you find a matching set, both you and your 'match' head to our desk where you'll enter our prize draw to win some great prizes at the end of the night. You also get a new lock or key so you can carry on meeting people.

The more people you meet the more chance you have of winning a prize and of course meeting someone you like too. It works amazingly well as an icebreaker and you'll be amazed how many people you meet. It's a lot of fun!

The lock and key will run until 10.30 pm when we'll draw the winners. The party doesn't end here, but by then the ice will be well and truly broken.

Matching and Messaging 
Now, you're bound to meet loads of people at this party, that's guaranteed. At this event, there's no need to ask for phone numbers. Upload a picture to your profile and you'll be visible on our matching system both during and after the event.

Simply scroll through and select the people you want to see again and our system will reveal everyone you mutually matched with the following day.

Get in touch with anyone you matched with via the built-in messenger. No other company has this and it sets our events apart.
