Can an algorithm find your spark? Let’s find out. 👀💘 We’re taking over Halfway Bar for a Thursday night powered by AI matchmaking, mystery, and real-life connection — and yes, it’s as spicy as it sounds. Matching will be powered by Matchbox. It’s a software that uses relationship science to find you your most compatible match at the party. The algorithm has matched more than half a million people to date, across 40 countries. It optimizes for long-term compatibility, based on values—but it’s up to you to see if you’ll click. How it works: <ul> <li>Upon arrival, you’ll take a matching questionnaire built by Matchbox's team of relationship scientists and curated by your host.</li> <li>The Matchbox algorithm will identify your optimal match at the party, based on relationship science, AI, and Nobel Prize-winning economics.</li> <li>After mingling with the whole group, matches are revealed!</li> </ul> Here’s how it works:
