Thursday | 30s & 40s Matchmaking Party | Roam | Ballard

30s & 40s Singles Matchmaking Party

Matchbox is bringing matchmaking to Roam in Ballard for a singles night for people in their 30s and 40s. If you’re tired of swiping and chats that go nowhere, this is your sign to meet people in real life. Expect a great crowd, bar games, DJs, and a venue that always delivers.

Early in the night, you’ll do a quick questionnaire on your phone. Matchbox does the matchmaking quietly in the background, then later helps reveal a potential match in the room. No awkward pairings. No forced moments.

Come solo or with a friend. Show up open-minded and ready to meet people who are actually here for the same reason.

Where: Roam, Ballard
When: January 29, 7–10 PM

How It Works

– Pull up and do a quick matchmaking quiz on your phone

– Grab a drink, play a game, and meet people

– Later: clue drop → match reveal

Who It’s For

Singles in their 30s and 40s who want real connection without the app burnout.
Not speed dating. Not a loud mixer. Just good energy, good convo, and people actually here to meet.

What to Expect

– Plenty of time to mingle naturally (no forced awkwardness)
– Matching based on shared values + compatibility
– A room full of singles who came ready to talk
– If your match isn’t your person, it’s fine! Keep mingling. The whole room is the point.
