Ready to meet your match? 💖(Or at least someone who makes you delete the apps for a week?)
On Thursday 16th April, Lock, Stock &amp;amp; Beer becomes the most science-backed dating experiment Joburg has ever seen...and possibly the most fun one too.
Expect a great crowd aged 28–38, drinks, chemistry, and the kind of flirting that feels effortless...PLUS free shooter on arrival 🕺
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 28-40An intentional matching process...come open, curious, and present
Even if it’s not love at first sight, you’ll be values-aligned (which is rare enough to celebrate)
What if I don’t get a match?We aim for a 50/50 split, but if numbers are uneven, you’ll receive a platonic match
