The night that fills a bar on its slowest weekday. Every guest becomes a Lock 🔐 or a Key 🗝️ Keys can open multiple locks set by host on their own phone — somewhere in the room is their match, and the only way to find out is to actually talk to people. You host, the room does the rest.
Singles nights pack rooms — but only if people actually mingle. Lock & Key gives every guest a reason to walk up and say hi. Promoters and venues book these as recurring theme nights.
Guests scan a QR, register a first name or nickname — no app, no account — and get their role. Exactly one person in the room matches them each round. The game knows; they don't. Yet.
When a Lock finds their Key, both phones light up together and the match hits the big screen for the whole room to cheer. Pure event energy.
Rounds run on a countdown you control. Every round reshuffles the matches — new round, new luck, new conversations. Nobody sits out long.
Straight, LGBTQ+, blend, and lifestyles/couples modes — one dropdown configures the matching to fit the night you're hosting.
The host console is PIN-locked — tipsy guests can't wander into your controls. Pause rounds, manage players, and push announcements to every phone.
First names only, nothing installed, no phone numbers collected. Event data lives on your laptop and wipes when you reset — a selling point venues genuinely care about.
Match prizes, raffle entries, grand prize at last call — the included table flyer templates have editable prize lines for every venue.
Local Wi-Fi only — no internet, no cloud, no accounts. One laptop, one TV, one packed room.
