In an era where digital interactions dominate and genuine human connections feel harder to come by, The First Round offers a refreshing alternative. Created by Fever, the leading global live-entertainment discovery platform, this unique dining experience is designed to bring people together in a natural and engaging setting, making it easier than ever to expand social circles and forge meaningful relationships.
At the heart of The First Round is a simple yet powerful concept: carefully matched groups share a gourmet meal at one of the city’s top restaurants. Unlike traditional networking events or other social gatherings, the experience is curated through an advanced matchmaking algorithm. Upon reserving a spot, participants complete a short questionnaire, allowing the algorithm to form balanced and compatible groups based on shared interests and social dynamics. The result is an environment where conversations flow effortlessly, creating the perfect setting for authentic connections to emerge.
Each dinner takes place in a hand-selected venue, offering not just a memorable meal but a welcoming atmosphere that encourages interaction. A dedicated host facilitates the evening with engaging icebreakers and curated conversation prompts, ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable experience for all attendees. Whether guests are looking to make new friends or simply enjoy great company, The First Round provides the perfect setting to do so.
With each event offering a new mix of people and a fresh setting, participants can return for multiple rounds, continuing to meet like-minded individuals in an easy and enjoyable way.
The First Round is now available in Glasgow, with reservations exclusively via: feverup.com
