We will have maximum 100 tickets for people wishing to participate in Mystery Matching. Arrival time for these is at 18:30. For everyone else, doors open at 20:00.

Matching will be powered by Matchbox. It’s a
software that uses relationship science to find you your most compatible
match at the party. The algorithm has matched more than half a million
people to date, across 40 countries. It optimizes for
long-term compatibility, based on values—but it’s up to you to see if
you’ll click.

Who it’s for:

Just a summer terrace, everyone single 😉

See you there!
