About this event
HEY SINGLES, STOP SWIPING & JOIN THE FUN AT SMASH
Welcome to SMASH, Vancouver Island’s first truly interactive, small group event catered to singles who are looking for lighthearted fun that results in genuine connections.
HERE’S WHAT WE DO
SMASH is all about creating a vibe in a safe, engaging space. There are exactly ZERO tedious conversation starters. You won’t be asked to introduce yourself to the group and we generally don’t care what animal you identify as. (Unless it’s a Leafy Sea Dragon, because that deserves at least one conversation.)
We do fun, in an upbeat, guided, interactive environment. All activities are curated, dialed in and selected for maximum joy. That’s right, we said “joy”. Do you have a good brain? We've got you. Less brainy, more active? Done. Are you good at drawing? We might have something for you too. Are you being dragged to this thing by your friends? Well, that kind of hurts, but we think your friends are right- we've got you!
Registered participants will get an email with more details. Questions? Please see our FAQs. If you don’t see an answer to your question, feel free to contact us via email at: queenofhearts.jane@gmail.com

Truthfully, probably not. This inaugural event is geared towards heterosexual relationships. We plan on hosting a queer-focused event in the future - please stay tuned to our social media and check our website for updates on upcoming events.
There will be party-friendly snacks provided at the Mixer, included with your ticket. However, if you're looking for something substantial, we encourage you to eat a full meal beforehand. Please let us know about dietary restrictions and allergies!
If you’re attending the full SMASH SINGLES EVENT, and plan on staying for the MIXER we recommend wearing comfy clothing. You’re more than welcome to bring a change of clothes to va-va-voom it up at the mixer.
