What is the format or how does a Lock & Key Party work?
On arrival you will be welcomed and signed in by our hosts. Women are issued with a small padlock to wear around their necks and men are issued with a key. You are then free to work the room trying keys in locks and vice versa- all the time meeting new people in a friendly environment.

These events allow for you to be as forthcoming as you like - you can either feverishly work the room or simply stand back and let people come to you!

Are the numbers of men and women equal?
We monitor our rosters for each event to ensure an even ratio of men to women. We can never guarantee an exact ratio of men to women, but it is our goal to make sure that these parties are evenly populated by both genders.

What type of people attend Lock and Key Match Parties?
Similarly to our speed dating events our lock and key clients are single professionals. Often attractive, fun and YES - totally normal! Often people attend lock and key parties because they are fed up with going to noisy night clubs and hardly meeting anyone. At lock and key parties you will meet loads of new people in just one night!

Do these events actually work?
We certainly think so - simply by the law of averages, because you are meeting so many people you are very likely to meet at least one or two people you like and want to see again!

What happens after the event?
The Lock and Key party is only the icebreaker start to your evening. By the end you will have met loads of new people so you are welcome to stay. Alternatively some people will move on and dance the night away with their new contacts. The choice is yours.
