ABOUT THE EVENT

Here at Original Dating we know you're your best you when you're having fun and what better way to have fun than meeting new people of over a few games of beer pong.

We've teamed up with the digital beer pong experts at PONG to bring you this brand new mixer.

Never played beer pong before? unsure of the rules? No problem, with PONG's neon lit digital tables and pong experts, all you need to do is aim and throw.

Throw in a bit of competition, chatting (and some beer obvs) and what have you got - a fun night out meeting new people. This social experience is sure to liven up your week and you'll play at least two games.

We guarantee you'll play at least two games of PONG and the rest of the time you'll get to know with your fellow players or even suss out the competition.

The following day you'll have access to our online matching and messaging system where you can stay in touch with anyone you'd like to see again and set up that rematch for your next date.

All the games are included in your ticket price, all you need to do is book now!

Marcus

I thought it was really well run by Stuart and was pretty close to speed dating IRL, in some ways genuinely preferable to IRL actually and I would be up for doing it in the future even after lockdown is lifted.

Something enjoyably different at this very strange time. Might be worth considering some kind of countdown for the 30 seconds. Well-hosted event.

Victor

Really great

John

Keep doing them! Worked really well, and is especially great in this difficult time!

samantha

Really fun way to spend and evening - was great to speak to lots of different, interesting people.

Bibi

I was able to clearly see and talk to each person.

Marian

Wonderful!

Michael

was fun - lots of potential in lockdown

Luke

Fun, unique, and worked well!

Richard

Great concept idea (I.e a virtual speed dating event). Thumbs up from me.

Arabella

Surprisingly, for a virtual event and my first attempt at speed dating it work well. Once we had got into the break out rooms it was a good system and allowed us to talk freely.

Joanna

This was a very thought out session

Vicki

It was nice meeting people virtually and quite relaxing doing it from home.

Jessica

Interesting alternative to face-to-face speed dating

Gary

Nice atmosphere great location

Original Dating reply

DAVID

It was a very good evening, with lots of really nice ladies!

Original Dating reply

HI David, thanks for the lovely feedback.

Daniel

The host was friendly and helped everybody ease into the event. Was generally great vibes, would come again, if no one matches with me of course haha

Original Dating reply

Hi Daniel, thanks very much!

Etan

Nice crowd! I'd still prefer at least 1 more minute per date, but otherwise I thought it was good! I thought the venue was great because a) it was private and b) we were able to stay and have drinks with each other for a long time after the speed dating finished. I think this was my favourite venue of all the Original Dating venues I've been to.

Original Dating reply

Hi Etan, super feedback thanks very much!

Alan

Great fun with a great bunch of people.

Original Dating reply

Hey Alan, lovely to read your comments.

Jane

So much fun – everyone was really high energy and had a great time chatting before and after at the bar.

Original Dating reply

Hi Jane, delighted to read you enjoyed the evening.

Ohiana

Alex

Good time. Everyone was friendly and easy to chat with! Easy way to have a good night out!

Original Dating reply

Hi Alex, happy to read your positive review thank you.

Molly

Really lovely host who did a good job at organising the event. Everyone was lovely and friendly :)

Original Dating reply

Hi Molly, Daniel will be delighted to read your review!

Aimee

Lovely atmosphere. Dan was very welcoming and as a first timer (and on my own) made me feel at ease. Would come again

Original Dating reply

Thanks so much Aimee, we're very happy to read you had a positive first speed dating experience!

Fahim

Very interactive event, much better then normal speed dating. Our host Arthur was nice and friendly. The setting is too compact and people leave too soon. I've been to this place years ago, you guys need a bigger place some day. Why is it that dating events always have to be so secluded?

Original Dating reply

Hi Fahim, certainly some interesting feedback for us here. We'll be sure to look into the points you raise. Glad you enjoyed overall.

Wing

Well organised. Friendly people in a relaxed atmosphere.

Original Dating reply

Hi Wing, so pleased to see this. We're so happy you found everyone to be friendly.

Kavi

It was a good experience

Original Dating reply

Hi Kavi, thanks for your comments!

Amanda

Venue was nice and brilliantly well-located, lighting was good, free cloakroom super-useful. It would have been better to start earlier if possible...I and some others I spoke to were more tired than usual. We're too old to stay out past 9pm in this age group, y'know... ;) I would have appreciated a few more ways to get talking to people, as well as the lock and key. Maybe a couple of icebreaker games or something. Thank you.

Original Dating reply

Hi Amanda, thanks so much for all your feedback. We're super happy that you enjoyed the event overall. We plan to introduce lots of new icebreakers over coming events.
