Event was ok. Venue was really cool. Matchbox is probably better than other events I've gone to. However the ratio of men/women needs to be better. For every woman, there was 2-3 men.
Ricky
Pretty good venue and good group of people. Unfortunately there isn’t an even number of males and females, so for the second time in a row, I was matched up with a guy when I’m a guy.
Diego
The venue was awesome and the participants were cool for the most part, I just wished it was more evenly distributed among both genders

These are a fun way to get out of your shell and meet new people. And they don’t necessarily have to be love interests, you could make new friends as well. There’s no pressure in terms of committing to your match - the overall goal is to interact with people and have fun :)
Alicia
This event was so fun and well planned! I loved how we got to mingle as we wished before putting us in groups. Getting my match was exciting!
Galia
It was a great venue, and cool event. I met different people and there was a great pace. Very different from some other dating groups I’ve participated in and have liked it the most.
Jessica
I always enjoy myself at Thursday events especially at Mesa however the last two matchbox events I've attended would have been better without the matchbox component
Armaan
Recently the ratios been off. Usually more guys than girls. There is the chance that a guy may match with another guy
Regina
The host was amazing. What is upsetting is both times I went my matches were no shows which is unfair to the people who are committed to the event and do show.
Renee
The person didn’t show up. And the last event before this one, the other person gave me major creeps (waited by the bathroom to make sure I wasn’t leaving). I think I’m better off using my discretion on my own than using this. :/
Mackenzie
I was disappointed to match with another woman. She was lovely and a very nice person, but the point of going to this was to meet single men and I was excited to match with a man, which did not happen. I think each person should be presented with two or three matches instead of just one
Diego
The vive was nice and the people cool; I just wished the algorithm that matches people were better and had better questions
Amy
This was my first Matchbox event. It was well organized and enjoyable to see who I would be matched with. It was a fun experience!
Chris
So much fun. My throat hurt from all the chatting and my face hurt from all the smiles.
Tanya
This is my second matchbox event and it's really a hit or miss if your match is compatible.
Bryan
I like the venue because it was near where I live. Plus the venue is an open space venue which is low stress for anyone that wants the option to leave. The matchbox was done too late in the evening. Plus it doesn't help as an ice breaker to talk to people. The host was cool. I think he did a good job. I'd go to another event.
Brenda
There needs to be better organization. I would have loved if we had a in person organizer who talks to the whole group.
Virginia
It wasn’t very structured/organized, and hard to locate/find your match so I left early. I was not comfortable, especially because I came alone.
Alex
Was run well enough. However they need to get more women to go. Every event there are about 20-40% more men than women. Either allow women free entry tickets to a limited number or cut off the amount of men able to go. Not the fault of the host, as I've been to other events... But I didn't see a single woman I'd be interested in. Just none that were my type.
Christian
Learn to Market these events to females better! It was a sausage fest and I got matched with a guy!
Jeff
The ratio of men to women was awful.
Michael
The ratio was extremely bad. Way too many guys compared to girls
Yosh
Get more chicks so it’s not 3-4 dudes for every girl
Elizabeth
I had a great time learning about others and meeting new singles.
Saeed
In my opinion, everything was good, except two things that could be better We were divided in group of 10-15 people for 3 times , we would be march with someone, but I never found who I was matched with ( there was not enough time for it and people were not all following it) Second one which is kind of common I guess , the male to female ratio 😁 probably 4 to 1 was that .
Richard
The venue was fun and I made some nice friend connections but it was in spite of the matchbox programming. The group ratio was wildly unbalanced and people weren't really following the structure of finding and connecting to your "match." I might as well have just gone to a bar without paying a ticket fee and have made similar connections.
Naomie
As far as matchbox from last nights brewery x event it would be better to start the rounds sooner maybe by 8:30? Also would be great to have more signage or someone at the fire to guide you leading us to the event host as I walked around the entire venue until I found them in the back corner lol Also would you consider a 40plus group ?
Trish
To many woman to men ratio. Plus I would have started the match earlier.
Ryan
Thursday’s Matchbox event at Mesa went off without a hitch. I was offered a complimentary glass of rosé upon entering, which immediately set the vibe. I got three different matches throughout the night. Unfortunately, the male to female ratio was pretty off so 2 of my 3 matches were guys. But the one girl I matched with was very friendly and sociable. You have to make an effort to talk to everyone to get the most out of it, even the girls you don’t get matched with. The venue was classy and just the right amount of space. Despite the ratio being off, I would go again.
Catherine
Love the idea of a more organic approach to meeting people. That being said, the venue (Mesa) did not feel good. If you go, take a layer for the open courtyard, and anticipate bad lighting until it gets dark. The male/female ratio was uneven, so I matched with another woman (selected heterosexual in the quiz). But I did make a new friend!😅
Dylan
The event seemed like a fun idea to see about how you’d be matched but in reality it was a mixer with a couple matches at the end, most people got there and waited for 2 hours and then after the first match promptly left basically defeating the point. Maybe have people do the survey before arriving and starting earlier.
Ali
David
This event was terrible. It was s singles event where there were 45 guys and 30 girls. Every girl was swarmed with guys, plural. Then they broke us into 4 separate groups. The groups were huge and 2 of the 3 matches I got were MEN! The one girl I was matched with I had literally zero attraction to. What a waste, terrible event. I enjoyed the half of the night where I hung out with my guy friends more than trying to talk to the girls at the sausage fest.
Gabriella
The event brought out more women than men. As a woman I wish there were better options in regards to men. Most of them weren’t suitable potential matches. The event felt a bit chaotic and disorganized. Everyone was left to mingle until the event started and once it did there was no direction or clarity on how it would be run. I didn’t know anything about how the event was going to work before attending. I felt lost, confused and somewhat out of place. I wish it would have been more casual, relaxed and easier to understand.
Luna
The event was hosted at a very popular venue and because it's a game night, it was originally a bit challenging to find parking as well as the specific Matchbox event section at the venue. There were a diverse group of people attending this event and I was able to have some fun conversations with quite a few people. However, during the match reveal, my match was not present at the table, which was disappointing. It might be better if we could be matched with 2-3 people to provide some alternatives in case the match disappeared or doesn't vibe.
Sabrina
The host was very personable, but after getting in, I never saw him again. I got my match sent to my phone, but it took a long time to find him. There were way more women than men it seemed like. My friend got a “friends match” and didn’t even get matched with a man, her preference. Last time I did this we got 3 matches each. This time it was only one, and no indication it was over. It’s a fun time meeting people, but honestly I could do the same at any bar and just talk to people.
Joe
Too many dudes
Vivian
I got matched with another woman who I had already spent time chatting with. Don't make it seem like a dating thing at all. Even if there is a difference in ratio, find a way to rotate people because how is that fair otherwise? Just say this is to make friends only then. The quiz you take is so generic and the scale isn't great for matching. The groups were huddled into such a tight space leaving half the place empty so you couldn't really mingle either. Also I did talk to other people. One said he was actually in his mid 20s after chatting for almost an hour. And another one talked about his ex wife on trial for murder. So... Great quality there. If you do go, don't get stuck in one place, expect only to make friends just in case they don't even match you with anyone. And ask for their age before chatting.
Shaan
I really hope someone does read this So overall it wasn’t worth it for the price My match was absolutely gorgeous and i thought we did vibe however for some reason she gave me her residential address instead of her # which i thought was weird maybe it was her way of trolling me and telling me she’s not interested and she was from Kansas so there’s no way for me to date her anyway I go to the event with the sole purpose of finding someone to date I think a better idea would’ve been freedom to talk to more than 1 person and being able to match with more people

Did not have a good time, one of my prior matches that I met at a similar event ended up getting too drunk and yelled at me—honestly he should be banned from attending future events—and made me and my friends feel very uncomfortable at the event. And my match from this event was quite boring and lacking social skills—was not a good match based on the algorithm. The crowd of men was odd and not very friendly or approachable . Would not recommend this event to any of my single friends and will not return myself. Host was great! I did meet some cool girls at the event
