2026-05-30 20:00 - 22:00 | Dawson 39 Restaurant & Bar, 54 West 39th Street, New York, NY, 10018, United States
A DATE & PLAY speed dating event is a unique and enjoyable event in which you will meet your new love interest while making new friends. Our friendly host will welcome everyone and then you’ll be grouped off into separate tables where you’ll get to meet, chat with and play fun social games with other singles in small groups of about 4 or 5 people. Then, similar to traditional speed dating, you’ll rotate from table to table getting a chance to meet all the other singles in attendance. You’ll be handed a “match sheet” and at the end of the event you’ll be able to indicate people you’d like to talk to again in the future.
If they also choose you, our host will send you each other’s contact information within about 24 hours after the event and you can feel free to set up a date with them. You’ll enjoy an evening of meeting new people, fun social interactions and games… No skill necessary, just a bit of luck! Our friendly host will be orchestrating the event and making introductions among the group. You’ll participate in several games during the evening while getting a chance to interact with everyone!
This is an NYC BRIGHTEST partner event which is well organized and in a great venue. Please note that this is private ticketed event only!

UNIQUE SPEED DATING EVENTS!

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!

Find someone who has traveled to more than two countries this year.
As Rosa Agave is waiving their large rental fee a 1 item miimum for ladies and 2 item minimum spend is required for men at the venue.

During your chatting sessions you will ask questions that would reveal answers that you can mark off on your Bingo card. The Bingo card boxes can lead to discussions and you will all learn about each other.
Meanwhile, the host will occasionally call out Bingo numbers throughout the event (like B6, N32, etc.).
Complete your board and shout “BINGO!” 🎉
We’ll keep playing even after the first winner, so multiple winners and prizes are common.

Why People Love This Event
It’s interactive, fun, and engaging — and a lot more exciting than swiping through dating apps.
Best of all, you’ll experience real conversations, genuine connections, and a relaxed environment where you can quickly see if there’s chemistry.
How Matching Works
You’ll receive a match card to fill out during the event. Simply write down the names of the people you’d like to see again.
At the end of the night, turn in your match card to the host. If two people select each other, we’ll send both of you an email within 48 hours containing each other’s first name and email address so you can plan a future date.
We only share contact information when there is a mutual match.
Meet Quality Singles
Our events typically attract single professionals who are serious about meeting someone special and are ready to move beyond the games often found in online dating.
Most people know within just a few minutes whether they’d like to see someone again — which is why speed dating works so well.
Skip the Endless Swiping
Let’s face it: many of us are tired of endlessly swiping and wondering if someone actually looks like their profile.
At this event, you’ll meet people face-to-face, making it easier to connect and decide if you’d like to continue getting to know someone.

Check-in begins 15 minutes before the event, so please arrive a little early if possible.
Most attendees come alone, so don’t worry if you’re coming by yourself. About 90% of participants attend solo, and the format makes it easy to meet people quickly.

While engaging in conversations with others, you may find someone who possesses these commonalities and shared experiences that you would prefer in a potential partner! An example of these categories is to find someone who speaks more than 1 language, who loves to travel, fancies a particular cuisine and so on and so forth! From there, it will be easier to make that special connection/s and take a deeper dive into becoming acquainted! This private ticketed event is sponsored by NYC BRIGHTEST & THE CLOUD ONE. The number of early bird tickets released is not indicative of the event capacity and prices will rise significantly!

PLAY & DATE SPEED DATING!
2026-05-16 20:00 | THE DAWSON 39, 54 WEST 39TH, Manhattan, NY, 10018, United States
A Play & Date speed dating event is a unique and enjoyable event in which you will meet your new love interest while making new friends. Our friendly host will welcome everyone and then you’ll be grouped off into separate tables where you’ll get to meet, chat with and play fun social games with other singles in small groups of about 4 or 5 people. Then, similar to traditional speed dating, you’ll rotate from table to table getting a chance to meet all the other singles in attendance. You’ll be handed a “match sheet” and at the end of the event you’ll be able to indicate people you’d like to talk to again in the future.
If they also choose you, our host will send you each other’s contact information within about 24 hours after the event and you can feel free to set up a date with them. You’ll enjoy an evening of meeting new people, fun social interactions and games… No skill necessary, just a bit of luck! Our friendly host will be orchestrating the event and making introductions among the group. You’ll participate in several games during the evening while getting a chance to interact with everyone!
This is an NYC BRIGHTEST partner event which is well organized and in a great venue. Please note that this is private ticketed event only!

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!

BINGO MINGLE SPEED DATING FOR 30'S & 40'S SINGLES!
2026-05-15 19:00 - 21:00 | Dawson 39 Restaurant & Bar, 54 West 39th Street, New York, NY, 10018, United States
Have fun trying to fill out your bingo card while chatting with people in small groups, while rotating tables and possibly meet your match
Limited Spots Available!
Tickets are limited and this event is expected to sell out quickly, so grab yours as soon as possible. Ticket prices increase as the event date approaches.
What Is Bingo Mingle and Match?
This is a new, fun and interactive twist on traditional speed dating.
At the beginning of the event, you’ll receive a Bingo card. You will have 1 on 1 time with each person. Rounds will last about 5 minutes and the men will rotate to the ladies for each round. Throughout the rounds, your goal is to complete as many Bingo squares as possible by finding people who match the descriptions. The ultimate goal is to complete a full card. There will also be Bingo numbers on the card as well.
Examples include:

Find someone who has more than 2 pets
Find someone with blue eyes
Find someone who has seen every Harry Potter movie
Find someone who is a school teacher
Find someone who has traveled to more than two countries this year
Find someone whose zodiac sign is Capricorn

During your chatting sessions you will ask questions that would reveal answers that you can mark off on your Bingo card. The Bingo card boxes can lead to discussions and you will all learn about each other.
Meanwhile, the host will occasionally call out Bingo numbers throughout the event (like B6, N32, etc.).
Complete your board and shout “BINGO!” 🎉
We’ll keep playing even after the first winner, so multiple winners and prizes are common.
This is an NYC BRIGHTEST partner event which is well organized and in a great venue. Please note that this is private ticketed event only!

Why People Love This Event
It’s interactive, fun, and engaging — and a lot more exciting than swiping through dating apps.
Best of all, you’ll experience real conversations, genuine connections, and a relaxed environment where you can quickly see if there’s chemistry.
How Matching Works
You’ll receive a match card to fill out during the event. Simply write down the names of the people you’d like to see again.
At the end of the night, turn in your match card to the host. If two people select each other, we’ll send both of you an email within 48 hours containing each other’s first name and email address so you can plan a future date.
We only share contact information when there is a mutual match.
Meet Quality Singles
Our events typically attract single professionals who are serious about meeting someone special and are ready to move beyond the games often found in online dating.
Most people know within just a few minutes whether they’d like to see someone again — which is why speed dating works so well.
Skip the Endless Swiping
Let’s face it: many of us are tired of endlessly swiping and wondering if someone actually looks like their profile.
At this event, you’ll meet people face-to-face, making it easier to connect and decide if you’d like to continue getting to know someone.
Event Notes

Check-in begins 15 minutes before the event, so please arrive a little early if possible.
Most attendees come alone, so don’t worry if you’re coming by yourself. About 90% of participants attend solo, and the format makes it easy to meet people quickly.

What People Are Saying
“I loved that it didn’t feel forced or awkward. The Bingo gave us something to laugh about and instantly broke the ice.” – Priya K.
“I’ve tried dating apps for years and this felt so much more genuine. You get to see someone’s personality right away.” – Mark D.
“Everything felt natural. It was like a party where you could actually get to know people.” – Sofia R.
Reserve Your Spot
Spots are limited and these events often sell out quickly. Sign up early and get ready for a night of fun, flirting, and friendly competition.
Your next great connection might be just one square away from BINGO.
FAQ
Can I come alone? Yes. About 85% of attendees come by themselves.
What’s the dress code? There’s no strict dress code, but we ask that you look neat and presentable. Business casual is usually perfect.
Can I pay at the door? No. All tickets must be purchased online in advance.
When will I receive my matches? Matches will be emailed to you within 48 hours after the event.

This is a new, fun and interactive twist on traditional speed dating.
At the beginning of the event, you’ll receive a Bingo card. During the event, you’ll be put in small groups to chat. Rounds will last about 10 minutes and the men will rotate each round. Throughout the rounds, your goal is to complete as many Bingo squares as possible by finding people who match the descriptions. The ultimate goal is to complete a full card. There will also be Bingo numbers on the card as well.
Examples include:

Find someone who has more than 2 pets
Find someone with blue eyes
Find someone who has seen every Harry Potter movie
Find someone who is a school teacher
Find someone who has traveled to more than two countries this year
Find someone whose zodiac sign is Capricorn

During your chatting sessions you will ask questions that would reveal answers that you can mark off on your Bingo card. The Bingo card boxes can lead to discussions and you will all learn about each other.
Meanwhile, the host will occasionally call out Bingo numbers throughout the event (like B6, N32, etc.).
Complete your board and shout “BINGO!” 🎉
We’ll keep playing even after the first winner, so multiple winners and prizes are common.
This is an NYC BRIGHTEST partner event which is well organized and in a great venue. Please note that this is private ticketed event only!

Why People Love This Event
It’s interactive, fun, and engaging — and a lot more exciting than swiping through dating apps.
Best of all, you’ll experience real conversations, genuine connections, and a relaxed environment where you can quickly see if there’s chemistry.
How Matching Works
You’ll receive a match card to fill out during the event. Simply write down the names of the people you’d like to see again.
At the end of the night, turn in your match card to the host. If two people select each other, we’ll send both of you an email within 48 hours containing each other’s first name and email address so you can plan a future date.
We only share contact information when there is a mutual match.
Meet Quality Singles
Our events typically attract single professionals who are serious about meeting someone special and are ready to move beyond the games often found in online dating.
Most people know within just a few minutes whether they’d like to see someone again — which is why speed dating works so well.
Skip the Endless Swiping
Let’s face it: many of us are tired of endlessly swiping and wondering if someone actually looks like their profile.
At this event, you’ll meet people face-to-face, making it easier to connect and decide if you’d like to continue getting to know someone.

Check-in begins 15 minutes before the event, so please arrive a little early if possible.

We find that it’s a much better way to get to know someone! WIN PRIZES!!! You’ll enjoy an evening of meeting new people, fun social interactions and games!
WHY IT WORKS! Through the years we’ve organized many speed dating events. 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!
WHAT GAMES WILL WE BE PLAYING? They are simple but extremely fun games that don’t require much skill… they are mostly fun games 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.
