Just a venue, everyone single. Because the world in 2026 is all about meeting IRL, not on dating apps!
We're taking over Ruckus Cincinnati in East Walnut Hills for a night of creative exploration and finding out just what you're attracted to. Take time to explore your inner artist before participating in our Matchbox powered matchmaking experience. The algorithm optimizes for long-term compatibility, based on values, but of course, it's up to you to see if youll click 😘
How it works:
Upon arrival, you'll check in with the host and take a matching questionnaire.
The Matchbox algorithm will identify your optimal match at the party based on relaitonship science and Nobel Prize winning economics.
After mingling with the whole group throughout the night, matches are reveled!
This event is best for straight singles ages 35-50. While this won't be your traditional speed dating format, you will be taken through a guided experience so you'll need to arrive on time for the best experience!
What to Expect:
This process is highly intentional so come with an open mind
Your match may not be love at first sight, and that's okay! At baseline you'll be values aligned, it's up to you if you want to keep the conversation going after the party ends.
A great group of single people all looking to meet people 🤗
We aim to maintain an even gender balance, but cannot guarantee that all attendees will show up (life happens, ya know). If there is an uneven split, some matches will pair platonically. These guests will receive a free ticket to a future event of their choice!

It is important that guests arrive on time so they can fill out the matching questions!
