What Is the Event Matchmaking App?
The Event Matchmaking App is a bingo-based connection game that helps attendees find and meet the right people at your event. Instead of relying on chance encounters or a complex algorithm to pair people up, attendees scan a QR code, receive prompts tailored to your event, and go find real people in the room who match each one. Every prompt completed is a purposeful introduction. Every attendee leaves knowing people worth knowing.
Most event matchmaking tools focus on pre-event scheduling. The problem is that half those meetings get skipped, people forget who they were supposed to find, and the tool adds friction instead of removing it. The Event Matchmaking App works differently. It runs live, in the room, in real time. Attendees do not need to pre-register connections or follow a calendar. They just play — and the game surfaces the right conversations naturally. No algorithm required. Just well-designed prompts and a room full of people who finally have a reason to talk to each other.
How Does Event Matchmaking App Work?
Event Matchmaking App runs on Jam Bingo—the simple, interactive networking activity. It is not a card, it has no squares, and attendees do not fill anything out. Here’s what each attendee does:
- 1
Scan to join
Attendees scan the event’s Jam Bingo QR code (or enter the game code). It runs in the phone’s browser—nothing to download.
- 2
Get a conversation prompt
Each person receives a conversation prompt on their phone, like a question to ask someone new.
- 3
Find someone and talk
They find someone who fits the prompt, have the conversation, then scan that person’s QR code (or enter their code) to unlock the next prompt.
- 4
Repeat and connect
Every connection is saved, and the leaderboard shows who met the most new people—perfect for prizes.
How to Use the Event Matchmaking App at Your Event
Follow these steps to set up and run the event matchmaking app for your own event.
- 01Step 1
Design Your Matchmaking Prompts
Choose prompts that surface the connections your attendees are actually looking for. Mix professional prompts — 'Find someone currently hiring in your industry' or 'Find someone who has raised outside funding' — with human ones that reveal personality and build real rapport. The prompts do the matchmaking work.
TipThink about why your attendees came to this event. What are they hoping to find? Build prompts around those goals and the matchmaking feels effortless. - 02Step 2
Share One QR Code at Your Event
Generate your event matchmaking game link and display the QR code at the entrance, on screens, on name badges, or in your event app. Attendees scan once and the game lives on their phone for the entire event. No download. No account. No friction.
TipPlace the QR code at eye level where people slow down naturally — the check-in desk, the bar, the entrance to your main session room. The easier it is to scan, the higher your participation rate. - 03Step 3
Watch the Right People Find Each Other
Attendees start moving through the room, completing prompts, and having the conversations they actually came for. The event matchmaking game runs itself while you watch real connections form in real time. Share the leaderboard at the halfway point to keep energy and participation high.
TipAsk the winner to share one person they met and one thing they learned. That moment turns the game from a competition into a story — and gives everyone else a reason to keep playing.

Where to Use Event Matchmaking App
Event Matchmaking App for Conferences and Industry Summits
Conference attendees come with specific goals — finding a co-founder, meeting a potential client, connecting with someone in their niche. The Event Matchmaking App helps them find those people without burning half the day on cold approaches and small talk that goes nowhere. Prompts surface the right conversations. The game gives everyone permission to have them.
- Help attendees find the specific connections they came for
- Drive 80 to 95 percent voluntary participation across the attendee floor
- Keep people on the expo floor and in networking sessions longer
- Give sponsors a high-engagement touchpoint built directly into the event experience
Event Matchmaking App for Trade Shows and Expos
Trade show floors are crowded with the right people — but finding them is chaotic. The Event Matchmaking App turns the floor into a structured discovery experience. Attendees use prompts to find vendors, buyers, and partners who match what they are actually looking for. Every interaction has a purpose. Every prompt completed is a qualified introduction.
- Help buyers and sellers find each other faster and more naturally
- Increase booth dwell time by giving attendees a reason to explore the floor
- Surface qualified leads for exhibitors through organic, prompt-driven interaction
- Reduce the spray-and-pray networking that wastes everyone's time
Event Matchmaking App for Corporate Offsites and All-Hands
When your whole company is finally in one place, the goal is not just alignment — it is connection. The Event Matchmaking App helps employees from different departments, offices, and seniority levels find each other and have conversations they would never have had otherwise. Cross-functional relationships built here make everything back at the office easier.
- Break down department silos during rare in-person time
- Help remote and in-office employees connect as people, not just Slack handles
- Surface cross-functional relationships that improve collaboration for months afterward
- Give introverts a structured, low-pressure way to meet people they actually want to know
Event Matchmaking App for Startup and Investor Events
Startup events are full of people who need to meet each other — founders looking for advisors, investors looking for deal flow, operators looking for co-founders. The Event Matchmaking App surfaces those matches through prompts built for the startup context. Every prompt completed is a conversation that could change someone's trajectory.
- Help founders find investors, advisors, and co-founders in the same room
- Surface warm introductions that cold emails never could
- Give first-time founders a structured way to approach people without the anxiety
- Create the shared experience that turns a one-time event into an ongoing community
Event Matchmaking App for Alumni and Association Events
Alumni and professional association events bring together people who share a background but often have no idea what they have in common now. The Event Matchmaking App bridges that gap. Prompts are designed to surface current-day relevance — not just nostalgia — so the connections made feel useful, not just warm.
- Connect alumni across graduation years, industries, and life stages
- Help new members find their people in a room full of established ones
- Create the kind of meaningful connections that drive membership renewals
- Make your event the one people actually talk about afterward
Event Matchmaking App for Client and Partner Events
Client and partner events work best when your guests leave with relationships — not just a presentation they half-remember. The Event Matchmaking App helps clients find peers they can learn from, partners find collaborators they can work with, and everyone find reasons to stay connected long after the event ends.
- Help clients connect with each other, not just with your team
- Turn transactional vendor-client dynamics into genuine peer relationships
- Create shared moments that strengthen partnerships and reduce churn
- Make your event the one clients clear their calendar for every year

Example Prompts for Event Matchmaking App
Taken from the Conference Reception template. Use them as a starting point, then adapt them to your group.
Make people move
Start prompts with "Find someone who…" so each one sends players across the room to a new person, not back to their own table.
Mix easy and deeper prompts
Open with quick, observable prompts (something they're wearing, where they're from), then add a few that lead to a real story.
Keep them inclusive
Avoid prompts about money, looks, or anything someone could feel left out of. Everyone should be able to answer at least half of them.
Match the length of your event
Around 12–16 prompts fits a 30-minute game. More prompts than time just leaves people unfinished.
- 1
Find someone who attended last year's conference, and ask them what a fun fact about themselves is
- 2
Introduce yourself to someone you've never met and ask them what they think the secret to success is
- 3
Find someone wearing the same color shirt as you and ask them the best professional advice they've ever received
- 4
Find a speaker from today's sessions, and ask them what song they can't stop listening to right now
- 5

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Event Matchmaking App?
The Event Matchmaking App is a bingo-based connection game that helps attendees find the right people at your event through purposeful, prompt-driven interactions. Attendees scan a QR code, get tailored prompts, and go find people in the room who match each one. Every completed prompt is a real introduction — no pre-scheduling, no algorithm, no friction.
How is this different from other event matchmaking tools?
Most event matchmaking tools are pre-event scheduling systems. They require attendees to browse profiles, request meetings, and show up to a calendar of appointments — most of which get skipped. The Event Matchmaking App skips the scheduling layer entirely and puts the matchmaking in the room, live, as the event happens. Attendees find each other through play, not paperwork.
Do attendees need to download anything?
No. Attendees scan a QR code with their phone camera and join the game instantly in their browser. No app store, no account creation, no setup time. The lower the friction, the higher the participation — and participation is everything in event matchmaking.
Can the prompts be customized for our specific audience?
Yes, and this is where the matchmaking quality comes from. The more tailored the prompts are to your attendees and their goals, the more valuable the connections the game surfaces. For a founder conference, prompts might focus on funding stage and growth challenges. For a healthcare summit, they might surface specialties and research interests. Custom prompts make the matchmaking feel intentional.
What kind of events is this best for?
Any event where attendees should be meeting the right people but usually end up talking to whoever happens to be nearby. Conferences, trade shows, alumni gatherings, industry mixers, corporate offsites, and professional association events all see strong results. It works for groups of 25 and groups of 5,000.
What results can event organizers expect?
Organizers running the Event Matchmaking App typically see 80 to 95 percent voluntary participation, three to five times more conversations per attendee than unstructured networking, significantly higher post-event satisfaction scores, and attendees who name the matchmaking game as the highlight of the event.
