Osbourne Hotel
Age Restrictions: 30-45
Last Entry: 19:45

Calling all Brisbane singles aged 30-45! ✨

We’re back for our second round of Matchbox at a brand-new venue – The Osbourne Hotel in Fortitude Valley! Join us as we turn up the charm with a touch of AI magic to help you find your most compatible match of the night 😉

The event will be taking place in the right-hand side of The Osbourne, ‘Inside Exclusive’ – an intimate space featuring rich leather, warm wooden finishes and moody lighting that sets the tone for sophisticated, cosy vibes. Think Cluedo-style intrigue meets modern elegance – the perfect setting to find your mystery match.

Unfamiliar with Matchbox? Basically, it’s super fun software that uses relationship science! The algorithm has matched more than half a million people across 40 countries and optimises for long-term compatibility, based on values – but it’s up to you to see if you’ll click. 🫶🏼

How it works:

  • Upon arrival, you’ll take a matching questionnaire built by Matchbox’s team of relationship scientists and curated by your hosts.
  • The Matchbox algorithm will identify your optimal match at the party, based on relationship science, AI, and Nobel-Pize winning economics.
  • After mingling with the whole group, matches are revealed!
  • Must arrive BEFORE 7:45PM to join AI Matching.

Check out our reel here to get a vibe for the event. 💘

Event Structure:

  • 7:00pm – the event begins and everyone starts mingling
  • 7:45pm – doors close, the algorithm begins computing matches
  • 8:00pm – a series of clues are released
  • 8:45pm – matches revealed
  • 9:00pm – DJ starts in the main room

    Who’s it for:

  • The matching process is highly intentional – come with an open mind!
  • If your match isn’t love at first sight, that’s okay! The algorithm is designed for long-term compatibility, so at baseline, you’ll be values-aligned.
  • At the end of the day, this will be a great group of single people. Enjoy meeting everyone, and remember to be kind.

FYI – We aim to maintain a 50/50 male to female ratio but cannot guarantee that all attendees will show up, as life happens. If there is an uneven split, some matches will be paired platonically. If this happens you will receive a free ticket to a future event of your choice.
