Great place, lots of broken hearts held together by scotch tape. But if you are kind, tred lightly and stay positive, you might just suddenly vibe with someone who makes lucky to be alive.

A really fun night out. Matchbox ai seemed to match me with likeminded people. Found all the matches attractive. Most seemed interested in me too. Fun night and a different way to break the ice.
Kelly
This scene seems to be for the more outgoing people and the ones trying to be, great exposure therapy, chance to have a great night, make plenty of friends and a potential love interest is rare but possible
Riccardo
I preferred the mixer event because of the freedom of it but I wish it was with a younger range than the 30+. Ideally I’d go to a 25-45 mixer but not another matchbox
Dion
To make mingling a little easier for people. Have less low seats. It makes it easier for guys to approach women. High seats and tables are ok. I'm sure women need to rest their feet if they are in heels.
Tenaya
I just wish there was a bit my structure to the night plus mingling as people don’t want to do with themselves for a while a the beginning
Stuart
As a straight male being matched with another male, there might need to revisit how the matching process works. We had three guys to one girl in our final matching.
Luke
There could be more questions on intelligence, careeer, hobbies Also the group of 25 stayed the same all 3 rounds, should mix this up
Renee
I enjoyed the social opportunity and met some really lovely people. I didn’t match well with anyone but would like to catch up to socialise with the lovely people I met. This was great for connection that could lead to more with people over time.
Aline
Interesting event. I liked the structure of it and met some great people but, AI was way off with my match
Andrea
The algorithm wasn’t accurate in my opinion and one match left early before even meeting.
Tom
Lots of cool people but the matching algorithm format I find ineffective and in this instance the venue was just way too loud.
Claudina
Music was too loud, making the conversations almost impossible. It was hard to find the matches, name tags would have helped.
Kat
The concept is great and all the women I spoke to were delightful but the proportion of women to men was off balance. Several women were matched platonically with other women. Overall disappointing but not necessarily to the fault of the host.
Crystal
Was better than I expected it would be. Everyone was very nice and welcoming.
Amanda
Fun event but the hosts need to get out there and actually help people mingle who might be shy and sitting by themselves. Or go pair people up .
Pieter
The matching in the end did not matter, I loved that we had move into different groups through the night.
Tammy
It was actually my first time and I had a great night, good conversation! I was scared and not really sure at the beginning but then I noticed a lot of people on the same boat! Just trying to talk and put themselves out there, It was surprising good actually, I enjoyed and kind of looking forward for the next one 😆
Lachlan
No one there was physically my type but the event itself was amazing.
Casey
If you are a man this is the event for you, there’s always more women there (who got stuck with platonic matches). I wouldn’t recommend the AI matching process, you seem to get stuck with who is available, not a diverse selection or somebody suitable for you. The format encourages a decent amount of networking.
Dominc
Best night ever! Meet new people get better at dating!
Ryan
My match wasnt great. But i did meet a couple of great people
Mary
The audio was way too loud and there was even people Covering their ears
Cherie
Didn't get a match. Still waiting on the free ticket which was supposed to be given to you when you didn't get a match
Tracey
Maybe music or something to do like games or even puzzles to do something interactive
Luke
Good event. Well-organised. Recommend
Jorge
It was a great night. Although it was a bit cold as it was outdoors.
Nicole
So fun and so well organised!! See you at the next one xx
Jess
Not as many people as previous events. Didn't meet my match so unsure where they ended up!
Nikki
I'm a straight woman and the algorithm matched me with a another straight woman. Not really what I was looking for...
MATHEW
Was a good night, went better than I expected.
Jorge
It was a great experience!
Conor
Fantastic
JODIE
It really really match my expectations. I (bi female) was matched with 3 woman. 2 were straight and 1 was only interested in short-term, undefined relationships. The algorithm didn't match me with people who were looking for the same thing as me, or who would be romantically aligned with me. I had more 'success' talking freely with people at the event who weren't matches.

Excellent event
Jorge
I had a great experience.
Tara
For me only having three matches through the night was what contributed to my disappointment. To wait so long and feel in the first minute that there was no interest felt awkward, then rude, my last match had either left or didn’t talk to me. I did have a nice conversation with a couple of people before the event started. My first group was in tight spot with too many people and I immediately felt claustrophobic and uncomfortable. I don’t think the questions got a sense of who would vibe. Adding something like “would you prefer a night out on the town or to be out in nature” would probably help me find a person I’d get along better with.
Priya
It was good to get matches that had similar hobbies, lifestyle and interests. Like conversations felt like that was something in common and to talk about. I do like the messaging feature, to find the next match but for me it was very glitching, I couldn't find my second match cause I could not see or receive their messages. But either way I still got to meet other people and have chats, as there were lots of people from different backgrounds too. The matching I feel like it did closely match people with similar interests and lifestyle. The email sent before the event was enough information to know what to expect with the matchmaking schedule. The venue at Riverland was actually nice though, super chill and nice view of the river to have conversations at, except the music was a bit too loud to even hear each other talk. Overall it was a good experience though, and nice to try something new.
David
Was great
Josephine
I couldn’t see any of the people I matched with fitting into my life. We didn’t seem to share many interests or have similar lifestyles. While our conversations were polite, they were somewhat limited in terms of what we could share. If I am totally honest, I found myself paired with people I wouldn’t even be interested in becoming friends with. The people I spoke to outside of my matches were actually more engaging in interesting to me.
Simon
Absolutely terrible. From conception to execution a total unorganised catastrophe. The question whilst insightful had absolutely bearing on the matches. Let me explain I didn’t see a single person in their twenties matched with anyone in their forties so why as question to match people if the whole premise is based on age. You would have to have learning difficulties not to see that this is how is played out. Overall very poorly run and organised and will never do speed dating again after this experience.

AI Mystery Match Review Pros: Great vibe and well-organized overall. Montague Hotel is a solid venue. Loved chatting with everyone—ended up collecting women’s numbers instead of men, but honestly, that’s a win for my “awesome friends” list. Cons: QR code didn’t work (tech fail 😅). Questionnaire had some tricky, nuanced questions. No romantic sparks with my mystery match this time. Overall: fun event, interesting people, minor hiccups—would probably attend again! (Review written by AI) haha
Nikita
Overall, I had a good time and met some lovely people. The venue itself was great, with a really good atmosphere, and the cocktails were excellent. I think the event could be improved with a few organisational changes though. The group rotations and locations weren’t very clear, so a lot of people seemed confused about where they were meant to go throughout the night. More signage and clearer announcements would make the experience feel much smoother. The AI questionnaire was also quite long and had to be completed during the event, which took away from actually meeting and talking to people. It would work much better if this was done before the event, with options to skip questions people may not feel comfortable answering. Overall, it was a fun night with a good crowd and a great venue — just a few tweaks would make the experience even better.
Sajj
The event was good overall, but I experienced some difficulties during the matching process. For my last match, the person did not show up at the designated meeting point. I sent her several messages, and she replied that she was at the bar. I then went to the bar, but she was not there. She later said she was coming, but unfortunately never arrived. I believe the event could be better organised. It would be helpful if the organiser personally introduced each match by saying something like, “This is your match, and this is their name.” Simply providing names can be confusing, as participants do not know what their match looks like or where they are located within a crowded venue. Overall, finding someone in a large crowd without a proper introduction can be quite difficult and may affect the experience for participants.
