The night is yours to host.

The night

Invite the room, then run the door.

You pick a key party, a play party, or a speed date. The same tools run all three. Everyone confirms they are 18 or older, and the night stays private.

1. 1

   Invite the people you know

   Each couple gets one private link. An open party can include singles the host chose.

2. 2

   House rules in your words

   Write the rules yourself. Guests agree before they say yes or no. If you edit the rules, they agree to the new version.

3. 3

   QR at the door

   Each guest has a door code and a QR pass. Only the host checks guests in. Scan it, or type the code. The street address stays hidden until you release it.

4. 4

   Rehearse with a test party

   Walk the night as any test guest before you invite anyone. Test parties do not send email, push, or reminders.

The order that keeps the night clean

Pick the format first. Choose a key party when you want one shared reveal, and the room sees one person only if both said yes. Choose a play party when each checked-in guest should see their own matches after you open them. Choose a speed date when they should meet on a clock and decide after. Then pick straight, bi-friendly, or open. An open room can include singles. Partners are never matched to each other.

Write the house rules in your own words. Guests agree before they say yes or no. If you edit the rules, they agree again. Set a public-safe name if email should say something other than Your event. Leave the street in the host fields and release it when people need to drive, not while you are still drafting.

Send private links. There is no public guest pool to fill empty seats. Watch who has joined and who has finished answering. Co-hosts can use the same screens. They cannot delete the party or remove the original host.

Your door, your reveal

Check-in opens on party day, after answers close. You scan the QR pass or type the code. Guests cannot check themselves in. If someone wants to sit out, they tell you, and you do not check them in.

On a key party you start the reveal. Phones wait about ten seconds, then the room sees one person, and only if both said yes. On a play party you close the answers, check people in, and then you open the matches. On a speed date you start the clock, and you open the matches after the rounds. A private no stays private.

Rehearse with a test party. Walk it as any test guest, including either partner. Test parties do not send email, push, or reminders. When the list is real, the same screens run the night. Guests never pay, and there is no ticket.

Rules, prompts, and the chat

House rules are one line, one rule. Guests agree before they say yes or no. If you edit the rules, they agree again. You can save a named set and reuse it on the next party, or update that set when the night changes. A vague rule wastes the agreement. Write the thing you will actually enforce.

A new party can post one prompt a day in the group chat before the start. Leave the list blank and the app uses its own short lines. Or write up to twenty lines, one prompt each, and keep each line short. You can turn them off. Test parties do not post them, and they also stop once the party has started.

You can close the chat and open it again. You can let messages disappear after 24 hours or after 7 days, or leave that off. You can delete the chat after the party. Co-hosts can use the dashboard with you. They cannot delete the party or remove you as the original host.

The night of, in order

Release the street when people need to drive. Until then they can see a place name. At the door, scan the QR pass or type the code. Do not let guests check themselves in. If someone wants to sit out, leave them unchecked and keep the tone light. A forced check-in is not consent.

On a key party, start the reveal when the room is present. Phones wait about ten seconds, then the room sees one person, and only if both said yes. On a play party, check people in and then open that guest's matches. On a speed date, start the clock, add two minutes if a table needs it, and open the matches after the rounds. A private no stays private.
