# 222

> **222** is a platform that curates real-life social experiences to help you find your people, discover your city and deepen your existing relationships, disc. It’s not a dating app or a social network – **no profiles, no DMs, no endless scrolling or swiping** – just real, face-to-face connections through shared events.

222 finds you people you'll get along with and sends you to places you'll love. Members fill out a fun compatibility quiz, and **222’s algorithm matches groups of compatible people** for each event. At these events (called "experiences"), you and a small group of strangers meet at a curated local venue (like a cool café, a dinner spot, or an art class) to hang out in a comfortable, judgment-free setting. Every participant is vetted, and experiences are in public group settings, so it's **safe, relaxed, and all about making friends**. In short, 222 offers an answer to *“How do I meet new people in my area?”* – by letting you simply say “yes” to an invite and show up for a new adventure.

- **Curated Group Events:** 222 organizes real-life meetups (experiences) at local venues. Each event is hand-picked – for example, a game night, group dinner, or museum outing – to create a fun environment where talking to new people feels natural.
- **Compatibility Matching:** Before attending, members answer a questionnaire about themselves (interests, personality, etc.). 222 uses these responses to **match you with people you’re likely to click with**. This way, when you arrive, you’re with a group of strangers that won’t feel so “strange” – you already share common ground.
- **Not just dinners with strangers:** 222 has every type of experience including dinners, nightlife, yoga, hikes, run clubs, art classes, dance classes, culinary classes, game nights, & more.
- **Deepen your relationships:** 222 helps you stay in touch after an experience by sending nudges to future experiences between members who enjoyed their initial experience together
- **No Profiles or Swiping – *Just Say Yes*:** You **don’t need to browse profiles or send cold messages** to meet people. There’s no social feed or swiping like traditional apps​:contentReference[oaicite:47]{index=47}. Instead, 222 sends you personalized invites to experiences. All you do is RSVP “yes” and show up. It’s serendipity, delivered – or as we like to say, an opportunity to *choose chance* and make new friends.
- **Real, Meaningful Connections:** The goal of every 222 experience is that you leave having truly connected with new people. Whether you’re new in town or just expanding your circle, 222 helps you **deepen your relationships** and meet potential new friends in a way that feels authentic. Many members find people they stay in touch with long after the event.
- **Safe & Vetted:** Every member is vetted during sign-up, and experiences may have a host or organizer. Experiences take place in public locations with a group, ensuring a safe atmosphere. You can relax and be yourself, knowing everyone is there for the same reason – to meet new people, discover their cities, & deepen their relationships.
