About Us
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Apps create volume, but not chemistry. Dinner clubs create tables, but not spark.
We’re for people who have outgrown forced small talk and want connection built on intrigue, play, and presence.
Welcome to Date & Detect™ – where the thrill of a gripping mystery meets the excitement of new connections.
The Problem Solved
Dating today creates endless options, but not real connection.
Tired of endless swiping and awkward first dates? So are we. Date & Detect™ is a unique, immersive experience designed for curious, discerning singles who are ready for genuine connection in an exhilarating, story-led environment.
The Experience
You don't sit and chat - you step into a story.
At Date & Detect™, you won't just sit and chat. You’ll step into a meticulously crafted world and become part of a live, interactive murder mystery.
Organic Connection: Attraction builds naturally as you collaborate with like-minded individuals to gather clues and interrogate suspects.
Quality First: This is a fully managed, premium event offering a sophisticated evening that includes a delicious platter, a welcome drink, and high-quality entertainment from start to finish.
The best connections spark from shared experiences. Date & Detect™ is an unforgettable night out where intrigue leads to connection.
Why it Works
Connection starts with curiosity, not small talk.
Traditional dating often feels like an audition - fast, surface-level, and built on instant judgement. At Date & Detect™, connection doesn’t start with small talk, it starts with curiosity and play.
The story creates the icebreaker, not the participant, which naturally draws out confidence, ease and authenticity. Men don’t have to perform; they simply get to be seen; and that’s where genuine attraction begins.
And for women, it creates emotional safety and presence; so the men who show up are engaged, not evasive.
