You’ll Feel Right at Home—Even If You Come Solo
Most guests arrive solo (about 80%). From check-in onward, you’re seated in small, rotating mystery groups—so you can ease in without awkward starts or wandering.

Not a Mixer—It’s Smart Matching
Our patented live-matching connects you in real time with people you’re curious about. You choose privately; you’re seated in small, rotating mystery groups.

The Vibe Is Fun, Not Forced
Hosted games and playful themes spark laughs and real conversation—never cringey “icebreakers.”

Designed for Comfort and Safety
Private areas, smaller rounds, and a no-pressure flow. You’re in control and never put on the spot.

Our Hosts Have You Covered
Friendly hosts guide the whole night so it runs smoothly—and you can just enjoy yourself.

More Than a Date Night—It’s a Connection Night
Whether you meet a match, make a friend, or leave with a great story, you’ll meet 40–60 like-minded people in one night.

Good for Your Mental Health
In a lonely era, face-to-face play and conversation can help you feel less isolated, more seen, and genuinely lighter in the moment. We’re not therapy—but the night is designed to support social well-being.

“You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation”
– Plato (Greek philosopher)

What we play

Proprietary games, designed for real connection.
Co-created with game designers and psychology experts and refined over years of live events. Exclusive to Secret RSVP—low-pressure, playful, and tuned for the live-matching experience.

Why it works (the science of play)
  • Real signals, fast: Play surfaces humor, empathy, and vibe faster than small talk.
  • Unguarded moments: People are more spontaneous during play—real personality > rehearsed bios.
  • Shared momentum: Light competition and group wins create instant rapport.
How it runs (live-matching rounds)
  • Round structure: patented live-matching rounds seat you in a new small group.
  • Invites: Discreet phone invites guide you to each table—no cold approaches.
  • Hosts: A friendly MC keeps timing, explains rules in seconds, and ensures everyone’s included.

Inclusive by Design
Loud, quiet, social, or shy—you’re part of the fun without being put on the spot.

Why Guests Love It
“Way better than speed dating. I was laughing, not performing.”
“The games made it easy to just be myself. No pressure.”
“You meet people as they are—not just what they say.”

Themes and games vary by date and city.

Live-Matching Experience
We’ve taken the hard part of singles events out so you don’t have to. Our patented, in-person system seats you with people you choose—privately, in real time. No cold intros, no swiping, no public profiles.

Proprietary Games (built for live-matching)
Co-created with game designers and psychology experts. Three rounds, three different games—playful, low-pressure, tuned for small, rotating groups.

3-Day Private Chat (post-event)
Opens 60 minutes after the event so you can follow up, flirt, or plan a second hang—at your pace.

Fully Hosted, Fully Guided
From welcome to wrap-up, professional hosts keep the flow smooth. You’re supported—not put on the spot.

Fun Extras & Prizes
Light, optional challenges. Show up and lean in—creativity and curiosity might just pay off.

How big are Secret RSVP events?
Typically 40–60+ guests in a fully hosted format—big enough for variety, small enough for real conversation. We pace sales to help keep the room balanced.

What if I don’t choose anyone—or if no one chooses me? Will I still be assigned to a table?
Yes—if you’re checked in and on time, you’ll be seated. Arriving after rounds begin may delay and impact future seating.

Are Secret RSVP events just for extroverts?
No. The format is built for introverts and ambiverts too: small, rotating groups, clear prompts, and hosted flow—so you never have to cold-approach or carry a conversation alone. You control your pace.

I’m not sure I’m ready to put myself out there (I’m open to friends, not just dating).
That’s totally fine. Many guests make new friends. You can use the post-event chat to follow up at your pace—whether that’s a coffee date or new friends for hikes and hangouts.

Will I meet everyone? Is the room 50/50?
No. With small, rotating groups, you won’t meet every guest—and perfect gender balance isn’t guaranteed. We pace sales to keep things even, but chemistry beats quotas. You’ll also have other chances to meet more people during arrivals, between-round mingles, occasional whole-room moments, and after the rounds (many nights roll into casual hangouts). Your 3-day private chat helps you follow up with people you connected with.

Do I have to approach people?
No. You choose privately; we seat you in small, rotating groups—no cold approaches. Hosts run the games so it stays easy.

When can I see who else is attending?
Profiles unlock after check-in at the event. It keeps everything private until everyone’s really there.

Do I need a profile?
Yes. A simple profile is required for check-in, your private picks, discreet invites, and the 3-day private chat.

Can I leave early?
Leaving mid-event disrupts matching for everyone. If an emergency comes up, tell a host before you go so we can check you out and remove you from rotations. If you leave without checking out, your ticket may be forfeited, post-event features (including the 3-day private chat) may be disabled, and we may restrict or deny future bookings to protect the experience for other guests.

What if I need to step out briefly?
Grab a host and we’ll pause your seatings for the next rotation and guide you back in when you’re ready. Please don’t leave mid-round without checking in with us—it throws off the seating for others.

How does messaging work after the event?
About 60 minutes after wrap-up, your 3-day private chat opens so you can follow up at your pace.

Will there be photos or video? Can I opt out?
We sometimes capture photos or short clips for recap/marketing. By attending, you consent unless you tell us otherwise. To opt out, tell the host at check-in or email us and we’ll flag your profile.

Is the venue accessible?
It depends on the venue. We list the venue and address on the event card—please review the venue’s own accessibility details or contact them directly, and message us if you need help confirming specifics.

What ID do I need?
Bring a government-issued photo ID that shows your date of birth (driver’s license, passport, provincial/state ID). The name/age on your profile must match your ID. We can’t accept photos or photocopies.

What if I forget my ID?
We may refuse entry per our Terms. Tickets are non-refundable.

What should I wear?
Smart-casual—what you’d wear to a great lounge. Comfortable and confident is perfect.

What should I bring?
Just two things:

  1. An open mind (curiosity + a favorite drink from the bar = great night)
  2. A fully charged phone (for check-in, private picks, and invites)

Code of conduct?
Be kind. No harassment. We may remove any guest who disrupts the experience or makes others uncomfortable.

Can I just show up at the door?
No—advance booking is required so we can balance the room. Events often sell out—book early.

How do I know my booking went through?
You’ll get an email confirmation right after purchase. Don’t see it? Check spam/junk. Still nothing? Contact us—please don’t buy a second ticket.

What kind of ticket am I buying?
All tickets are Standard entry (general admission). If the event fills, we open a waitlist.

Are tickets refundable?
All sales are final. If Secret RSVP cancels or reschedules, or an event is impacted by last-minute emergencies or weather, we issue an event credit for the ticket price. Credits are valid for 6 months and for non-private events.

How do credits work?
Credits are one-time use and can be applied to one future event, subject to availability. To apply a credit, contact us 14+ days before the date you want. If you miss that rebooked event, the credit isn’t reissued.

Are taxes included?
Taxes are added at checkout based on the event location (provincial/federal taxes in Canada; state/local taxes in the U.S.).

Meet Your Calgary Hosts

Real people run the night. Our hosts are trained in Secret RSVP’s live-matching system, so you never have to cold-approach or figure things out alone.

Brett

“Shoutout to the singles ready to mingles (yes pluralizing for rhymes is cool) in YYC! Brett is here to make you feel at ease and guide you through a fun night of games and getting to know one another.

Together we’ll create a stress-free, fun, and connected environment. Brett may sound familiar with a variety of radio and commercial voiceover work, but don’t try changing the station on your event night…. you’ll be stuck with her until the bitter end, which will come quicker than you’d expect with all the new friends you’ll be making and fun you’ll be having. 

She is also a performer with Pegasus Performances, specializing in murder mysteries here in Calgary and she promises to leave the bodies at the door (or in the trunk) to ensure an evening you won’t forget without the drama.”
