How does Timeleft match people?
You answer a short personality quiz when you sign up. We use your answers, your age range and the language you choose to build a group of 4–6 from the people booked on the same night.
Is Timeleft safe?
Every event is at a vetted public venue, and there's no private messaging before you meet. If you report someone, you're never placed with them again, automatically and permanently. The safety guide explains each step.
How late can I book?
You can book until 13 hours before the event, so a Wednesday dinner is still bookable on Tuesday night.
