Was een super leuk event met alleen maar leuke mensenPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very fun event! ✨️ It is more spontaneous than traditional speed dating and it gives much better chance to connect.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 10/10 idee. Fijn om meerdere kaartjes & spellen aan een tafel te hebben. Host Bart was ook echt goeie vibe! De spelonderdelen hadden iets langer mogen duren. Nu was het echt paar minuten en dan moest je doordraaien, en had ik zelf niet heel veel tijd om rond te kijken van 'wie zijn er allemaal, naast wie wil ik zitten en hoe kom ik daar'. Maar kan ook aan mij liggen. Maybe in t begin echt even kort namenrondje met random feitje oid zodat je kan zien we er allemaal zijn?Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was superleuk! Door de spelletjes, vragen en opdrachten voelde het speeddaten minder als een sollicitatiegesprek. Ik heb veel gelachen en leuke mensen ontmoet. De host was erg grappig.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Our Events
We regularly host Update evenings in major Dutch cities. Click on the button to discover all our upcoming events!
Yes, you totally can! Fun multiplies when shared, and it is great to experience the UpDate event together Just be aware that our events are aimed to have you meet many new people in many ways, so we recommend to give each other some space (just like in a romantic relationship) and save some of the best gossips for later (:
Technically, no, however, we do recommend this for seven generations of good luck and the blessings of our ancestors in all your future games.
Most of our events are aimed to save people from the superficiality of dating apps and the boredom of normal speed dates. We’d like to stick to this mission and therefore refer you to our UpDate social nights. These are aimed at meeting new people in a fun way, without the dating element. Tip: these events are a lot of fun to do as a date night with your partner! Keep an eye on our calendar or enroll in our newsletter to catch them when they are announced!
Absolutely! We have done UpDate events in the past for climbers & outdoor people and would love to host such events more often. We are considering, runners, dancers, single parents, and travel lovers, and are also open to suggestions. So if you are a part of a community and like to make this happen, please reach out to us!
Yes, we have done them in the past and plan to do them again in the future! Keep an eye on our event calendar or enroll in our newsletter to stay up-to-date!
Yes, we take pictures, so if you want to have a memory, follow our socials, spot, and tag yourself! If you don’t want to be on a picture, please approach our hosts at the event.
Awesome! We are always looking to expand our team and move into new cities! Please send an email with a short motivation to fun@update-events.nl and we will take it from there 🙂
In situations like this, it is important to stay calm and not to panic. It can help a lot to take a deep breath, light some incense, and make a cup of tea (personally, we often rely on rooibos in times of crisis). After you have recovered from the biggest shock, you can send your question to fun@update-events.nl and the house elf on duty will respond to it ASAP.
