WHAT IS SECRET SINGLES SOCIAL?

Secret Singles Social is a revolutionary new event that is changing the way people meet people in Chicago. Have you ever been at a bar or lounge, looked around and wondered, "Who is single in here?". This event was born when the founder of the company found himself sitting at a bar and wondering exactly that. He then thought, "Wouldn't it be cool to know who was single?". The light bulb went off and he created the Secret Singles Social Event...

IMPORTANT NOTE:

THIS EVENT IS PART OF A BIGGER NETWORKING EVENT. NOT ALL OF THE CROWD WILL BE WILL BE SINGLE. YOU'LL BE ABLE TO EASILY IDENTIFY THE SINGLES BY THEIR SECRET SYMBOL. THE MAGIC OF THE EVENT IS THAT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO FIND THE OTHER SINGLES BECAUSE THEY'LL HAVE THE SAME SECRET SYMBOL AS YOU. FOR EXAMPLE, THOSE IN THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY MIGHT HAVE A STAR AS THEIR SECRET SYMBOL, THOSE WHO ARE SINGLES MIGHT HAVE A DIAMOND WITH A DOT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT AS THEIR SECRET SYMBOL, ETC... IN OTHER WORDS, YOU CAN FEEL FREE TO MINGLE AND CONNECT WITH EVERYONE AT THE EVENT BUT YOU'LL EASILY BE ABLE TO LOCATE THE OTHER SINGLES BECAUSE THEY'LL HAVE THE SAME SECRET SYMBOL AS YOURS!

After signing up you will get an email from us with the location of the event. In that email we'll also give you a secret symbol that will let the other attendees know you're part of the event. We will email you a printable paper bracelet template with your secret symbol on it (SEE IMAGE BELOW TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT WE MEAN). If you don't have access to a printer you can simply draw that secret symbol on the back of your hand with a marker or pen before arriving at the event.

Then you simply show up at the venue at the listed start time and get started meeting people. There are no name tags, no host and no awkward check-in process. This means that only you and the other attendees will even know that you're at a singles event! (The venue is not directly involved with the event so please don't ask their staff questions as they likely won't have answers)...

This event is not a structured or overly organized event. Feel free to come with a friend/s as well. We'd say about 75% of the crowd comes on their own.

You'll simply look for other people with the secret symbol on their hand to know they're also single and part of the event.

ICEBREAKERS TO WIN A $50 AMAZON GIFT CARD!

Before the event we'll also email you icebreaker questions that you can use to get to know the rest of the singles at the event. The icebreakers are optional but most people love them because they really help you get to know people and gauge compatibility. In the email we send you before the event we'll explain exactly how the icebreaker works but essentially you'll be asking and/or being asked 3 icebreaker questions. If you complete the icebreaker you'll be entered into a raffle and one of the event attendees will win a $50 Amazon gift card!

EXAMPLES OF SOME OF OUR FUN ICEBREAKER QUESTIONS:

* If you had a time machine - where would you take it to? Would you stay there?

* Do you usually follow your heart or your head?

* Would you rather live for one year on an island by yourself or for one year in a small apartment with 7 strangers?

* What is one thing you’ve always wanted to cross off your bucket list, but haven’t yet?
