The comparison

Who chooses the connection?

Matchbox

Guests complete a questionnaire and an algorithm selects compatible matches for the event.

Thursday

At Thursday’s Matchbox-powered events, guests mingle and algorithm-selected matches are revealed during the evening.

Symbol XO

Guests meet first then combine their own impressions with XO scores to choose who they’d like to match with. Mutual interest makes the match.

The pain points

A match on paper.
But do you click?

01 · CHEMISTRY

The result can be hit or miss.

An algorithm-selected match may look promising, but the connection can feel different in person. Similar answers don’t necessarily mean the conversation flows or the attraction is there.

02 · EXPECTATION

A reveal can add pressure.

Being introduced as a match can create expectations for both people before either has decided how they feel.

03 · CHOICE

The algorithm goes first.

When the pairing comes before personal interest, the person selected may not be the guest you felt most drawn to during the evening.

The Symbol XO solution

Feel the connection.
Then make your choice.

Our technology supports your judgment. Guided group conversations give you time to hear how others think and notice who you enjoy being around.

After the event, review your XO Compatibility Scores alongside those in-person impressions. Select up to three guests you’d like to match with. A match happens when both guests select each other.

Your intuition

Who sparked your curiosity? Whose conversation felt natural? Your experience matters.

Your XO score

Your questionnaire responses add a data perspective to the connections you experienced.

Mutual choice

You choose who interests you, and they choose too. Both selections create the match.

The process

Meet First. Match After.

  1. Pre Event Questionnaire - 24 hours before the event, you will be prompted by SMS to answer a set of questions used to calculate your compatibility with other guests.
