How Sparks work
Three simple steps from real-life chemistry to confirmed mutual interest.
Meet someone at an event
Show up to a curated happy hour, rooftop mixer, or wine tasting. Have real conversations with real people. No profiles to swipe through — just genuine in-person chemistry.
Send an anonymous Spark
After the event, open your attendee list and send a Spark to anyone you felt a connection with. It's completely anonymous — they'll only know that someone from the event is interested. You get 3 Sparks per event, so choose wisely.
If it's mutual, you're both revealed
If they Spark you back, it's a match. Both identities are revealed and you can start messaging each other directly. No guessing games, no ghosting — just confirmed mutual interest.
Spark Hints
Members get Spark Hints — subtle, anonymous signals that show someone at the event is interested in you. You won't know who, but you'll know to pay attention.
Think of it as a heads-up that helps you focus your energy on the people who are already interested. It makes every conversation feel a little more exciting.
Sparks vs. Swiping
Dating apps match you with strangers based on photos. Sparks confirms mutual interest between people who already met.
| Dating Apps | Sparks | |
|---|---|---|
| How you connect | Swipe on photos of strangers | Meet someone in person first |
| Interest signal | Right swipe (feels meaningless) | 3 Sparks per event (feels intentional) |
| Identity | Public profile visible to everyone | Anonymous until it's mutual |
| Chemistry | Hope the texting matches the vibe | Already confirmed in person |
| Outcome | Matches that never reply | Mutual interest = real conversations |
