SUMMARY:40'S & OVER "DATING GAMES" SPEED DATING!
DESCRIPTION:NYC Speed Dating – Dating Games. Part of the event will be a mixer and the rest will be fun ice breaker games in small groups. \nIn this event that is f0r 40’S & Over Singles\, you will receive both a speed dating and mixer \n\n\n\n\nIs your dating life starting to feel monotonous? 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.\nSuggested age range: 40s & OVER \nThis is an NYC BRIGHTEST partner event which is well organized and in a great venue. Please note that this is private ticketed event only! \nAbout 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.. \nhttp://nycbrightest.com\, \nNYC BRIGHTEST SINGLES/SOCIAL CONNECTIONS \nUNIQUE SPEED DATING EVENTS! \nWine And Spirit Tastings by NYC Brightest! and follow NYC_Brightest on Instagram! \nOur 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. \nSuggested age range: 40s & OVER \nLet’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. \nThis 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. \nSuggested age range: 40s & OVER \nWIN PRIZES!\nYou’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! \nIMPORTANT: THIS IS A PRE-PAY EVENT ONLY\nTickets 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.
