Thursday | U35 Mystery Match @ Zephyr Bar | West End

Calling all Brisbane singles aged under 35 💘

Our Matchbox AI Matching Night is landing at Zephyr Bar in West End — a new leafy rooftop pavilion tucked above The Montague Hotel, where handcrafted cocktails, share plates and a retractable roof set the scene for a little mystery under the Brisbane sky.

This isn’t speed dating.
This isn’t awkward name tags.
This is intentional, value-based matching powered by relationship science, AI and behavioural economics — with just enough intrigue to keep things exciting.

It’s perfect if you’re looking for something that still feels relaxed and social, but slightly more facilitated than our regular bar mixers. You’ll be placed into values-aligned groups based on your questionnaire responses, creating space for both romantic sparks and genuine new friendships.

💌 How Find Your Mystery Match Works

On arrival, you’ll complete a short questionnaire designed by Matchbox’s relationship scientists and curated by your host.

The algorithm then:

✨ Analyses your values and preferences
✨ Identifies your optimal mystery match at the event
✨ Places you into aligned connection groups
✨ Guides you through fun clue-based moments
✨ Reveals your match later in the night

You must arrive before 7:45pm to be included in the AI matching.

🥂 How the Night Unfolds

7:00pm — Doors open & rooftop mingling begins
7:45pm — Doors close, matching begins
7:45–8:45pm — Group connection moments + clues
9:00pm — Mystery matches revealed 💘

💫 A Few Things to Know

Come with an open mind, the mystery is part of the magic!

If your match isn’t instant sparks, that’s okay. Matchbox prioritises long-term compatibility and shared values over surface-level attraction.

Either way, you’ll meet a vibrant group of under 35 singles in a relaxed, respectful environment.

We aim to maintain a 50/50 gender split where possible. If numbers are uneven, some matches may be paired platonically — and in that case, you’ll receive a free ticket to a future Matchbox event of your choice.

🌟 120+ Singles, one venue. Under 35.

✨ $25 Early Bird Ticket arrive Pre 7:45pm, $30 General Admission Ticket arrive Pre 7:45pm, $35 On The Door Ticket Opened at 7:45pm on the night of the event pending ratios and closed at 8pm.
