I went with 0 expectations and it was super fun and entertaining. Everyone was very welcoming and receptive and the environment was pretty much relaxed. Such a nice suprise!

The venue was great, great views of the city and very central. The questionnaire is a good dynamic but the party could use more entertainment, maybe a host involved in the people’s dynamics, having a DJ would also be good!

It was a very nice experience. The view of the venue was wonderful and people friendly, so it is a nice opportunity to meet new people with interest in common.

I think the event was supposed to match with someone to have a date an get to know each other, but most of people didn't take it seriously.

Sara

Once the Matchbox group phase starts, it's great to start conversations. For me, as a shy person, it was a great way to engage with others more easily.

Nathalie

★★★★☆ ·
Interesting crowd with a mix of international and locals. The concept is great but needs some refinement. Also not sure how many people there are actually available and looking to meet someone serious.

I didn’t get a match — my assigned match was another man because there were fewer women. How can I get another ticket for a different event?

Ricardo

★★★★★ ·
Everything went smooth from the host, positive energy from the crowd and felt a good match with the group and even others from different groups. Probably going to the next one.

Being around people who are on the same wavelength and open-minded as you makes all the difference. The Matchbox dynamic helped even more in the process of meeting people.

I had expectations from this event to be nice. Instead all I experienced was a noisy and very smelly venue: with poor dynamics to bring people together. It was an awful experienced and I would like a refund

I'm so sorry, Bruno O, I never met you, but I was vibing alone listening to music and seeing the most wonderful view of my beautiful LISBOA ❤️ Next time I'll be better and I'll be watching the messages 😅 really loved the venue, the surroundings and the friendliness of the host

I truly enjoyed the event. I found my match to be a person with similar interests as me. Looking forward to the next one.

Very poorly organized event, the way they split the groups were not well done. I had no common thing with neither match or the bigger group. Left early

Place was alright. Crowd was cool. Event was kind of disorganized. Apparently we were supposed to monitor out texts continuously through the night. Would’ve been nice to get announcements and guidance on what to do/where to go. We could call it an experiment in chaotic self organization - but I don’t think that was the idea behind it.

It’s a good idea to get the AI involved

It was a wonderful time and I met interesting people

Eduardo

Too expensive tickets and drinks, and hardly any seats available. The questions are very shallow

A wonderful atmosphere and such a great time at the party! Thank you for all your hard work ))

The idea of match box with AI is creative

Really enjoyed the event overall. The venue was intimate and worked well, and the host and staff were welcoming and helpful. For first-timers: Matchbox communication came by text. After the questionnaire, we were placed into groups, then smaller groups, with clues about our match. Finally, we received our match’s name and a link explaining the pairing. My main feedback is that some Matchbox questions felt unclear or not especially relevant to romantic compatibility, and the final reveal could be a little more organized. Socially, it was a great night and much better than I expected. Romantically, it didn’t quite work out for me this time, but I’d still attend again. If you’re curious, I definitely recommend giving it a try.

This event need to be more structure

Funny enough, as we kept being reduced into what was meant to be more closed bubbles, people were discussing about the trustworthiness of this system. My group were basically bottoms matched with bottoms, which didn’t really make sense. The tops left the group as selection happened. Also, the questions on the questionnaire were sometimes ambiguous, others confusing and we all discussed that so many important ones were missing: if we want to have kids, if we are ok with a partner consuming drugs, how emotionally available people are, if we are and if we are into masculine or femme guys, etc… On top of that when guys started realising that the matches were hoaxes, many started flirting with guys from other groups and went to hookup (my group should have one thing in common: monogamy, and in the end they started hooking up and went home with guys from other groups…

Age difference in the match was too hight

Was matched with another guy. Left right after.

Goncalo

★★★★☆ ·
The questionnaire kills the vibe right at the beginning, with everyone stuck on their phones. Perhaps do this in advance of the event. The matching is unnecessary, really. By the time you get the message, everyone is already mingling. The host was invisible. Feels like he/she is not there at all, and we're left to it, with people looking around to see what happens. It's fine, I guess, but unclear on what to expect.

I think the event felt quite unbalanced overall. The women generally seemed to have stronger professional and personal backgrounds, were very confident, and brought a high level of energy to the room. Many of the men, by comparison, didn’t seem to be at a similar stage in life or have the same level of confidence, which created a noticeable mismatch from the start. I know this is difficult to balance, but because of that, the interactions felt awkward and it quickly became clear that there wasn’t much romantic potential. In my group, the conversations among the women were actually far more engaging than the conversations with the men, which made the event feel less successful than it could have been.

Great fun, great location .

Hey ,so the thing is that I have left even before the match was announced.Because the waiting area was really awkward.No music,bar settled by the entrance/exit and people who are nervous about attending such an event (you have to understand that they are ,cause it is stressful to put yourself out there in a first place) were just awkwardly staring at each other from the corners. My advice is to set up the bar in the center of the venue for the next time,so people would gather around, and put on some music so it’s not so awkwardly quiet.And then they would be more relaxed to start talking to each other maybe. Obviously it’s just my personal opinion and I hope it helps. Best of luck with the upcoming events 🫶🏼

Should have been 50/50 male- female.

Elsa

★☆☆☆☆ · · Friend-matched
1- Expensive for not even a welcome drink 2- The form should be send before the event to take time to answer properly and because it is really not welcoming to come and see everybody on their phone for a meeting event ! 3- question form not appropriate for a eventual first meet and strange rating for answer, 1 to 7 ?! 4- More woman than man

For very outgoing people going with friends (what I did and what I am) we had a lot of fun. But if you're an introvert this probably isn't going to work for you. The hosts basically do nothing and the match box thing is dumb and you have to pay to message your match lol. Eitherway the event was really fun but only because I was with a large group of friends and we made it fun.

As with every tool of this nature, there are limitations. The 30 questions make sense from a perspective of what you want from a relationship and how you relate to people, but there are values and personality traits that can't be parsed by it, and this was the case. My "match" did not match at all, and not just physically. Maybe from a formal perspective we want the same things, but perhaps we would describe what those things mean in a different way (what to me is independence is probably different for him), and it's impossible to see it with this type of tool. I was vibing with different people at the event, even for just friendships, and ending the evening with that "match" was frankly anticlimactic. A very rigid person, very little social skills. Difficult and exhausting.

Aside from the algorithm pairing me up with the biggest turn-off of a guy at the venue, I felt that being split into divisions actually did a disfavor to the event. I also saw much more women than men present, which is unusual at these events, since the ticket sales are usually evened out… so yeah this was my least favorite get together so far. And AI has a long road ahead to be responsible for couples.
