I had a great evening at Ashlee’s matchbox. I made some friends from the event. I had a lot fun afterwards dancing with everyone. It was a good location, easy to get there and home.

Brendon

Was a good venue, good price for hosting, and the idea was good, however the algorithm matched me with people I was completely incompatible with. Possibly the questions were not the right type of questions.

Bernadette

Had fun, but I wasn’t really compatible with 2 of my matches. One was kind of ok but ways younger than what I would like. I made a new friend with a girl, but that wasn’t the goal of the event haha

Alwyn

I liked the event in every way. Every bit helps break the ice. I dislike throw a bunch of people in a room and hope for the best style events. I really like events that help people mingle. More AI and fund events please!

Hannah

This was such a great way to meet new people and encourage people to talk to each other. I would like to go to another one of these AI questionnaire events because of this, and to see if the questions to assist me to find someone I’d like to see longer term.

Andrija

The venue was a generic bog standard venue did not stand out. The boardgames they had sucked. At least the music was inoffensive. And the ladies helped find one of my matches.

Emma

I think it ran quite smoothly, one suggestion would be maybe an announcement once everyone has arrived to clearly state how the 'matching' will work. The venue was also really loud music wise so was difficult to hear each other in conversation even outside

Shannon

It was interesting and unique experience. The AI matching was fun because we got to speak to people one on one and in group style. The process was like a mystery.

Nadiia

It's better to group people by age; young people are interested in young people. Although it was interesting just to get to know each other and chat, many come for love, not friendship.

Mark

Good energy in the room, might not put group by the exit to the bar next time 😅 made it difficult for the staff to collect glassware

Alwyn

Matches were a mixed bag. I really disliked the music volume. If the point is to mingle why are you drowning it out with music

Jade

I felt the lighting in the venue could have been a bit softer not as bright Fun night thank you!! Everyone was lovely and very respectful!!!

Josh

It was an awesome event - but could have been better explained how it would all work. After the first round it was all smooth sailing

Brock

Was an absolute ball of a night great vibes and great people would highly suggest to anyone

Crystal

Lovely chill vibe, well put together, great venue and host, friendly crowd! I think I would've preferred more questions though, but it was an awesome night.

Anton

Quite Fair! Nice host and fair crowd. Good Venue. The algorithm’s prediction was quite accurate👌 Being identified among the 5.2 percent of attendees who are both organised and energetic felt like a fair reflection of my personality. The description of being independent and self willed also aligns well with who I am.

Dale

Questions were very ambiguous and open ended Could have answered most differently depending on context

Justin

It was great, a bit disappointed it doesn’t let you text your match 48hours after the event

Warren

Thank you for a good night, really enjoyed the event. The event ran smoothly

Gaurav

The event was good and the host was excellent

Kyle Alexander

Well done, 3 matches instead of 1 is a great thing. The only issue I found on the night which is unforgivable was the volume the DJ played his music at. The event is to meet, mingle and more with other guests and having to shout to hold a standard conversation is unacceptable. (this was in the main bar area and tabled area)

Pablo

Ashlee has a great energy and is very knowledgeable in human relations and interactions. Her outgoing energy is warm and welcoming.

Rachel

A 20 year old man was matched with a 65 years of grandma. Seriously flawed. The devastation on his face and her trying to manage the situation was unnecessary and uncomfortable for all parties. I would never go to an open age event again. Better to go where there is an age bracket.

Matteo

Questions need to be a bit more helpful. There was no mention of asking for people's height which can be a significant deal breaker for many people if taller/shorter. Also perhaps matching people by type of industry they work in and sports they play etc. I don't feel the matches were particularly helpful this time at all.

Carman

The idea is good, but the matches I had are not really what I put in the survey prior to the event.

Mohit

It was good

Trevor

I felt like the whole experience was draining, and the people i matched were really not interested. Im quitting trying to date this night made me feel so bad. I guess the organisers were fine. But would have been nice to know it was upstairs. So honestly a horrible night for me and the matches were bad

Rachael

I absolutely loved this event. I was nervous at first but the hosts explained everything very well and made me feel very comfortable. It was very exciting being matched with guys I probably wouldn't usually talk to first. Even though I didnt pursue any of the men any further, we were very well matched it terms of personality. I would definitely attend again

Rita

I liked the matching, because it is helping people to know some other people and talk to them, break some ice, even if it’s singles events some people are being just in groups or a couple for the whole night so it feels like don’t wanna interrupt, and it’s always ending with a disappointment, might be the problem of the modern dating life or just people looking for easier ways, anyways thank you

Liam

The main complaint people had over the night was the music was way too loud to have a decent conversation. While the lighting and ambience was suited to conversation over dancing. Finding your match was difficult, maybe nametags or number system would help. Its a shame to say it, but physical attraction is super important, and needs to be a factor in the matching process. Height, body type... these things matter.

Diana

Event was great...thank you

Jess

Na

Nigel

A bit of fun Something different Enjoyed the experience

Zoe

good

Matthew

Having 3 matches was better but one was a woman (friendship match??). She didn’t even turn up. Talking to a few others that also got stood up, this was common. Many more women than men and then they just took off sometime during the evening. My friend’s first match wasn’t even there for that. It was too loud to talk at the DJ booth. It would be good to be able to report the ‘no-shows’ so that they aren’t rematched in the future rounds. That was a waste of time.

Dan

Honestly could have used AI to generate better more pertinent questions to create better matches. Wouldn’t have mattered for my demographic (40 years old) though as anyone between 40-60 was simply lumped into the same group. Would have been nice to have had a 35-45 group. Host was also kind of rude. Experience was not worth the $35, but good on them for hooking into “ai” craze.

Pochen

All good

Robin (Oscar)

I was pretty cynical about the whole process ahead of time, and I’m still not sold on there being any deep intentionality behind the matchmaking process. But I ended up enjoying myself and having a good evening with a nice group of people. And, to the credit of Matchbox, I definitely matched with the right kind of person. I wouldn’t wholeheartedly endorse it yet, but I can definitely see myself giving it another go if it’s relevant to me again in future.

Yari

Was a good initiative but I don’t think the system is working. Many people left even before the match revealing cause the small groups where they were didn’t have anyone that they liked Would work better if you put on several matches, like many speed dates of 10 minutes. Only one match with someone you are not attracted to is frustrating Also, 65 dollars in total to get there and have a drink? Nah

Anibal

Horrible experience for a gay person like me, there’s no much people and the selection wasn’t accurate at all, it was really uncomfortable. I also went w a couple of friends and we all hated it, in my group, nobody was happy w the matching either. Waste of money, didn’t vibe w the table, didn’t vibe w the questions which I think are really bad questions, I only appreciated the host and the service was outstanding. The manager (I think he was the manager) is really handsome and gentle. If you’re gay or part of the LGTBQ+ just be nice w yourself and don’t go.
