                              How does Padlock and Key Works?

• Every men gets a key and women select the padlocks
• Men has to go and figure out which key opens which padlock.
• There is only ONE key matching the lock. 
• Men can change key as much as they want all through the ice breaker but women can change lock ONLY when there is a match.
• When matches happen, both receives raffle ticket for prizes at the end of the evening
• Mix & Mingle while seeing which key open which lock
• If the key opens the lock...celebrate you've been matched, but not through our scorecard system. The scorecard will be used for actual romantic interest, not as an icebreaker. 
• Raise your hands to receive a raffle ticket
• The more you play the more chances you have in winning grand prizes!

                                                          When did it all begin?

Matchmaking has been a dating and marriage practice for centuries, but American speed dating has been around since 1999, when a rabbi and his students put a turbo-style twist on the tradition of introducing Jewish singles. The event was a success because the young men and women involved were able to meet more potential partners in one night than they would have in one month of typical dating.

Finding that perfect mate is on many people's to do list, although, many of the people that are single are so busy making ends meet that it can hinder their search. Internet dating is very popular, but it lacks the personal touch that meeting people in person has. There is a rise in the interest in speed dating as an alternative to going to singles bars.

You will have a fun night. Just come out and try it!!!
