Key party, play party, or speed date

The short answer

These are three different nights that share one rule. You invite the people you would actually let in. One private link per couple. The street stays hidden until you send it. A match exists only when both sides said yes. What changes is when the room sees that, and how many names a guest sees.

A key party is one shared reveal. On a play party you open the matches after you close the answers and check people in, and a guest can have more than one. A speed date is short rounds, then yes or no, and the screen shows both names and one couple photo. If the invite does not name one of those, ask before you pack. A vague night is how people bring the wrong expectations.

The night is for adults only. You confirm you are 18 or older. The host still checks you in. Your own partner is never someone you answer about on a key party or a play party. On a speed date you answer other couples together. Pick the night that matches the list you actually have.

The three nights, in one list

Read this before you write the invite, and before you accept one. The format is the promise. The city, the hotel, and the playlist are not.

1. Key party. Before the night, each person says yes or no in private to one photo and one name. Your own partner is never someone you answer about. The host starts the reveal, phones wait about ten seconds, and the room sees one person, only if both people said yes. A later round is still one person at a time.
2. Play party. You say yes or no in private to one other person, unless the invite says couples answer together. The host closes the answers, checks people in, and then opens the matches. Checking someone in does not open the matches. Each checked-in guest sees every person where both said yes, one person at a time. There is no single pairing for the whole room.
3. Speed date. A speed date stays dressed. A new party starts at five minutes a round, and the host can change the length, pause, add time, or skip. As a couple you say yes or no. Either partner can answer, and either can change it until the host starts the next round. A match needs both couples to say yes. The screen shows both names and one couple photo.

Choose a key party when the room can look up together

A key party wants a short list and a moment everyone shares. Before the night, each person says yes or no in private to one photo and one name. The host starts the reveal when the room is ready. Phones wait about ten seconds. The room sees one person, only if both people said yes. Nobody is shown a person they did not say yes to.

Pick this night when the people already trust the host, and when you want one name, not a tour of the house. It is a poor fit if the list is still growing the afternoon of the party, or if guests have never met and need to sit down first. The reveal is the point. A bar cannot hold it. A living room or a suite you control can.

Each person can send one stronger yes for the party. If both people sent it, the reveal can say so. That stronger yes is not a match by itself, and it is not a second person. The host guide for a key party is the longer setup. This page is only the choice.

Choose a play party when people should move through the house

A play party is still a private invited room. You say yes or no in private to one other person, unless the invite says couples answer together. There is no shared reveal for the whole room. You close the answers, check people in, and then open the matches. Checking someone in does not open the matches. Each checked-in guest then sees every person where both said yes, one person at a time. A guest can have more than one.

Pick this night when the list already knows how to share a house, and when you want roaming more than one name for the whole room. It is a poor fit if you wanted every phone to light up at the same second. That is the key party. It is also a poor fit if the guests are strangers who need a clock and a chair. That is the speed date.

House rules still come first. Dress, phones, which rooms are closed, soft or full. Guests agree before they say yes or no. A match is permission to talk, not an assignment. Anyone can slow down after a name appears. The etiquette page is the longer note for the room. Use it once you have chosen this night.

Choose a speed date when people should sit before they answer

A speed date stays dressed. It is tables, a clock, and an answer after you have met. A new party starts at five minutes a round, and you can change the length. The screen shows both names and one couple photo. As a couple you say yes or no. Either partner can answer, and either can change it until you start the next round. A match needs both couples to say yes.

Pick this night when the list does not know each other well, or when a first party should stay in chairs for the first hour. When the rounds end, you open the matches. Each couple sees the matches where both couples said yes. Breaks rotate so no couple sits out two rounds in a row. It is a poor fit if you already wanted people moving through the house before they had sat down. Say that, and host a play party instead.

Say the shape of the room in the invite. A straight room is every couple one man and one woman, with no singles and no same-gender couples. A bi-friendly room allows same-gender couples and still has no singles. An open room allows singles you picked on purpose. The yes is still private, and it still needs both sides. The speed dating guide is the longer note on the clock and the table. Read it if this is the night.

What does not change

The list is the privacy. You invite the people you would actually let in, or you approve an application. An application does not put someone in the room until you approve it. A plus-one does not get a link of their own. If you are not sure about someone, do not send them a link. Email says Your event, or a public-safe name. The real party name stays in the app. Group chat is for the time you start and the time you end. The street does not go there.

Only the host checks people in. A door code and a QR pass are for the list. Guests cannot check themselves in. A place name can show early so people can judge the drive. The street, the floor, and the door code wait until you are ready. That is true in a house and on a hotel floor.

Guests agree to the house rules before they say yes or no. If you edit the rules, they agree again. A message to the host is private to you and your co-hosts. Guests do not message each other in a side thread. A test party lets you walk it first, including either partner. Test parties do not send email, push, or reminders. None of that depends on which of the three nights you picked.

A plain way to choose

If you want one name and a room that looks up together, host a key party. If you want people to move, and to see every person where both said yes after you open the matches, host a play party. If you want them to sit and talk before they answer, host a speed date. Write that sentence in the invite. Do not offer all three and let the room vote in the group chat.

A first night should be the smallest honest version. Two or three other couples. One format. One end time. You can host the other nights later. Start from the host home when you are ready. The invitations guide is where the words live. This page is only the choice between the three.

If you are the guest, you get in because a host invites you, or because you applied and that host approved you. Read the format before you pack. Decline early if it is the wrong night for the two of you. Do not arrive hoping the host will switch. If nobody has invited you, host the people you would actually let in. The city pages below are private lists in real places. They are not a menu of public doors.

The same choice in a real city

Atlanta, Denver, Miami, Chicago, and Las Vegas each have a page for a private list, not a club calendar. The format choice is the same in all of them. A key party in a house, a play party on a hotel floor, a speed date in a suite: the street still waits, and the reveal still follows the night you named.

Say the neighborhood in the first text so people can judge the drive. Keep the address until the list is finished. A downtown floor and a house across the river are different rides. They are not different formats. Do not let the view pick the night.

Search can find this page. It cannot find the porch. If you want a club with a posted door, use the club's own site. This is for the invited night, whichever of the three you picked.
