How Cupid works
Your quiet wingman on the date.
Small, hosted events where your phone makes the introductions, and the conversation is all yours.
How Cupid works
We remove the friction, you make the connection.
Before you go
Everything you need to know
-
Book your ticket
Pick an event and age group. No dates fit? Tell us yours and we’ll create one.
-
Come solo
Most people do. We make the introductions for you.
-
What to wear
Smart casual. Think going somewhere nice for a drink.
-
Bring your phone, charged
You’ll check in and see your matches on it. Then, phones down.
The morning after
Yes, Friends or No for everyone you met, by 7am. Only mutual picks are shown, so nobody hears a no.
No more wondering if they like you back.
FAQ
First time? We’ve got you.
Is this speed dating?
Kind of. Think of it as speed dating’s more relaxed cousin. We call it Slow Dating.
Instead of judging someone from six photos and a bio, you actually sit down together. You’ll have around 6–8 one-on-one conversations, with time to mingle before and after, so you can get beyond “What do you do?” and into something more interesting.
We create enough structure to take away the awkwardness, without making it feel like an interview. Less swiping, more talking.
Can I come by myself?
Absolutely. In fact, most people do.
You don’t need to find someone to go with, and you don’t need to worry about walking into a room where everyone already knows each other. We make the introductions for you.
Can I bring my friend?
We’d love you to bring your friend! Unlike other events, we won’t let you stick together. You’ll each meet people separately and have your own connections and stories, then debrief together afterwards.
Compare notes on who was the cutest one. How fun is that! 👯
I’m awkward… help!
Perfect. You’re human.
You don’t need an opening line, a perfect story or a dating strategy, and you don’t need to work up the courage to approach someone across the room. We guide the event, introduce you to your next person, and let the conversation take it from there.
A little awkwardness is completely normal. Sometimes it’s actually the best part.
Will they know if I picked them? 👀
Nope. Your choices are completely private.
After meeting someone, you can privately let us know if you’d like to see them again. We only reveal a connection when both of you choose each other.
No awkward rejection. No wondering whether you should ask. If it’s mutual, we’ll help you reconnect afterwards. ❤️
Do I need my phone?
Yes, but we promise we’re not inviting you out just to stare at another screen.
You’ll need a smartphone to check in, follow the guided experience and make your private selections. Then, during the actual conversation? Phones down. Humans on.
What should I wear?
Smart casual is perfect. Think: going somewhere nice for a drink, but still feeling like yourself.
You don’t need to dress like you’re going to a job interview, or your own wedding.
What if I don’t get a match?
Then you still spent time meeting real people, having real conversations and doing something most of us have become strangely bad at: connecting face to face.
You may find someone you want to date. You may meet someone interesting. You may simply have six conversations you wouldn’t otherwise have had. The point isn’t to manufacture chemistry. It’s to create the opportunity for it.
I’m slightly outside the advertised age range. Can I still come?
Our age ranges are there to help create the right mix of people rather than act as a hard cut-off.
As a general guide, if you’re within around 3 years either side of the advertised range, you’re still welcome to join.
What does my ticket include?
The full Offline Cupid experience: a warm welcome and friendly host, around 6–8 guided one-on-one conversations, our app-guided matching, private selections and mutual match results.
Depending on the event, your ticket may also include a welcome drink or other extras. Check the event page for details.
