Calling all Brisbane singles under 35 💘
Our Matchbox Matching Night is taking over Blackbird Bar & Dining in the heart of Brisbane City — a stunning riverside venue overlooking the Brisbane River and Story Bridge, where beautiful interiors, cocktails and city views set the scene for a little mystery.
Two Matchbox events. One big night! We'll be bringing together singles under 35 and ages 30–45 for two separate matching experiences under one roof. You'll mingle and be matched within your own event's age bracket, with the buzz of a bigger singles takeover!
Each guest will receive up to three highly compatible matches, carefully selected to maximise the potential for genuine chemistry.
Throughout the night, you'll mingle in curated groups, meet plenty of singles beyond your matches, and wait as your matches are revealed one by one. Who you end up clicking with? That part is still a mystery 😉
🧠 Matchbox Matching
Matchbox is where matchmaking meets relationship science. Powered by a Nobel Prize-backed algorithm, Matchbox has helped create over 500,000 matches across 40+ countries.
How it works:
Upon arrival, you'll complete a short matching questionnaire designed by Matchbox's team of relationship scientists and curated by your host.
The Matchbox algorithm analyses your responses to identify up to three highly compatible matches using relationship science and Nobel Prize-winning economic theory.
You'll then mingle within curated, values-aligned groups before your matches are revealed throughout the evening.
⏰ Important: You must arrive before 7:45PM to participate in the matching.

👀 Good to Know
This event is for singles 35 & under (1–2 years above 35 is fine).
Two separate Matchbox events will be running at Blackbird, with dedicated matching experiences for each age bracket.
We aim for a 50/50 gender balance, although exact attendance ratios can't be guaranteed.
In some cases, one or two of your matches may be a platonic compatibility match. If you receive two platonic matches, we'll provide you with a complimentary ticket to a future event of equal or lesser value.
Come with an open mind — compatibility goes deeper than looks.
Matchbox helps with the matching, but the chemistry is up to you 😉
