How it works

REGISTERING FOR THE EVENT. 

 

First you will go to the Event Calendar and chose the event you want to attend. Make sure to read the description of the event to see if there are specific requirements such as age or other specifications. 

​

When purchasing your ticket you will fill out your name and email address. Your first name and last initial will be used for your name tag and printed on the dating cards. Your email address is where we will be sending your speed dating results to, and is what will be given to your mutual matches for them to contact you. Emailed results may end up in your junk or spam folder so make sure to check there if you do not see them in your inbox.

​

ATTENDING THE EVENT. 

​

Each event is held at different local venues so be sure to look them up online if you are needing information on accessibility, parking, food and drink options or other important information. 

​

CHECKING IN:

​

When arriving to the event you will see the Boise Speed Dating Check in Table where you will be greeted by a team of fun and friendly hosts. They will ask for your name and then assign you a seat number that will be written on your name tag by them as well. After receiving your name tag, a Boise Speed Dating Host will show you to your seat. 

​

If you are coming to the event with a friend, make sure to check in together and let the hosts know so that you can be seated together. (Let the host know if a friend is coming but has not arrived yet and they can reserve the seat next to you for them.) 

​

Check in times are usually 30 minutes which gives you time to grab refreshments, use the restroom, mingle, or just hang out and review the event materials provided to you. 

​

SPEED DATING:

For most events the Men are going to be moving at the end of each round. Each round is 4-5 minutes depending on the event. Each woman is assigned a number 1-50. The number they have been assigned will be on their name tag and will also correspond with their seat number. Men will move to the next highest number from the woman they are currently talking to. When men get to the last number/woman, they will move to the beginning, Table #1, Woman #1, then #2 and so on. 

​

Provided with your supplies will be a BINGO card with fun and interactive questions you can ask each date so you never have to worry about what to say or have to sit thru awkward salience. But the Bingo cards are not a requirement and you do not have to play or ask the questions on them. However, if you do play, you can only mark one box per person. If you get a BINGO at any time during the event, let a host know and we will get you on the list for a chance to win a FREE ticket to a future event. 

​

At the end of each round, each participant will simply mark yes or no next to the persons name if they would like to see them again. If both people mark yes by each others names, then its a mutual match!! 

​

There will be 3-4 breaks during the event to give participants time to use the the restrooms, get refreshments, or just mingle. 

​

At the end of the event you will turn in all your supplies still intact to the registration table where you checked in. 

​

Mutual matches are emailed out within 72 hours after the event.
