a note from our founders
It all started like this: we have the best friends ever, and some of them were looking for love...
So we set up CHECKMATES, a dating community that opens the board to new players, with plenty of chances to find that winning match.
Ready to make your first move? We can’t wait to see you at one of our events soon!

Here’s the twist: people can only join our events if they’re vouched for by a trusted friend. Only the truly kind, genuine and recommended people make the cut.
This isn’t just another singles night. It’s a movement towards real, offline connections. CHECKMATES is about stepping away from the screen and experiencing the magic of face-to-face chemistry. Authentic interactions... powered by your friends, rather than an algorithm.
