Are you new in town and looking to make connections? Or on an unapologetic mission to spark some romance? Let Boxcar Bar + Arcade and 1323 R+D set you up on a “Play Date”! Join us this Valentine’s Day for our “Play Date Tournament”: a no-pressure, fun-filled way to meet and greet with other Raleigh area singles.

The Scoop
The event will go down on Wednesday, February 14th (Valentine’s Day) at 8pm
Register below to guarantee your seat (seats are limited!).
Pre-registered players will check in between 7:15-7:30pm on the event date.
We’ll open on-site registration before the event, from 7:30-7:45pm, to fill any remaining seats.
Must be 21+ to participate.
Matching
After you sign in, we’ll have you place your names in the Valentine’s Day box that corresponds to your category of interest (males/females interested in the opposite gender, males interested in males, females interested in females).
Participants take turns pulling a card out of the box of their choice to find their matching partner. This process will be repeated at the beginning of each round.
Any matches that have been previously used get put to the side and the participant will pull cards until a new match is made.
It’s likely our numbers will be slightly off, based on matching interests. Anyone that is not matched with their category of interest in a round will not only meet a potential new friend, but will have first pick/priority in the next round.
Gaming
This will be a 3-round competition, to be played on a selection of arcade game favorites (to be announced at the event).
Round 1: Couples Round, highest score wins a Prize built for two people.
Round 2: Double Date Round (teams), highest team score on wins a Prize built for four people.
Round 3: Couples Round, highest score wins a prize built for two people.
Board games available for play in between rounds.
Winning
While we hope everyone walks away with a winning match, we’ll be awarding prizes (TBA) to the winners of each round!
