# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Thursday | Matchbox Party (40+) | The Collective | South Lake Union
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 23 Jan, 2026 at 03:00 am – Fri, 23 Jan, 2026 at 06:00 am
- **Event Description**: A more intentional way to meet people in real life. No swiping required.

Join us at The Collective in South Lake Union on Thursday, January 22 for a thoughtfully curated singles night for people 40 and over who want to meet new people in a relaxed, intentional setting.
Expect good conversation, easy mingling, and an atmosphere that makes meeting others feel natural. Early in the night, you’ll answer a quick questionnaire on your phone. Matchbox works quietly in the background, looking for shared values and compatibility, then later helps surface a potential match in the room. No awkward pairings. No forced moments.
Grab a drink if you’d like, come open minded, and enjoy the night!
Designed with a 40+ crowd in mind, and welcoming guests in their mid to late thirties if it feels right.
How It Works


- Arrive and complete a short matchmaking questionnaire created by Matchbox and curated by your host



- Spend the evening meeting people and enjoying the space before any matches are revealed



- Later in the night, you will receive clues followed by your match reveal





Who It’s For
This event is for singles primarily 40 and over who are curious, social, and interested in real connection. Guests in their mid to late thirties are welcome if the fit feels right.
This is not speed dating and it is not a loud mixer. It is designed for people who enjoy good conversation, good energy, and meeting people in a thoughtful way.
What to Expect


- A friendly, social atmosphere with plenty of time to talk and connect
- Intentional matching focused on shared values and compatibility



- A room full of singles who actually showed up ready to meet people
- If your match is not love at first sight, that is totally fine. Enjoy the night, keep mingling, and see where the conversations take you.
