- **Event Description**: THURSDAY X MATCHBOX
Ready to meet your match? ?
(Or at least someone who makes you delete the apps for a week?)
On Thursday 15th January, Fable Cocktail Bar becomes the most science-backed dating experiment Cape Town has ever seen...and possibly the most fun one too.
Expect a great crowd aged 28–38, cocktails, chemistry, and the kind of flirting that feels effortless.
Matching is powered by Matchbox, a software using relationship science to find your most compatible match in the actual room. They’ve matched over half a million people across 40 countries… so yes, your love story might start with an algorithm, but the spark is still totally up to you.
How it works:


- When you arrive, you’ll take a matching questionnaire crafted by Matchbox’s relationship scientists (aka: people who    want your love life to be less chaotic).

- The algorithm gets to work, using science, AI, and Nobel Prize–winning economics to find your best match at the          event.

- After some mingling and mystery clues… matches are revealed.
(Cue the heart racing ✨)
Who it’s for:
Singles aged 28-38
People who want something intentional
Anyone who’s tired of guessing if "we’re vibing" and wants real compatibility as a starting point
What to expect:

The matching process is intentional, come curious and open.

If your match isn’t love at first sight, no stress. You’re at least values-aligned, which is rare enough to celebrate.

This will be a genuinely great group of single people… so say hi, flirt a little, and don’t overthink it.
(Your future favourite person might be in the room...just saying. ?)
