The first online-offline Ballroomdating™ and Networking White Party Vancouver, BC - Fall 2026

✨ Founding Event — Free Invitation and Referral Beta✨

 

YGAME® is a real-time Social Discovery and Quick Decision platform built for real people in real life. Here, a match isn’t a notification — it’s a person who steps onto the ballroom floor and dances with you.

 

We believe everyone needs someone nearby. Shared physical space, in real life chemistry, and quality human interaction aren’t just details — they’re essential elements of the In Real Life Personal Experience.

 

We invite singles aged 18+ to join the first-ever online-offline Ballroomdating™ Party.

 

The ballroom accommodates 180 participants:

90 Leads and 90 Follows.

 

HOW TO GET IN

 

Our very first Ballroomdating™ and Networking White Party is a free invitation-based beta event. Tickets are obtained exclusively through Reward Credit Points earned via eligible activity on the platform. They are not money, have no cash value, cannot be purchased, and are redeemable only for YGAME rewards. A ticket to the founding event requires 20 Reward Credit Points. The second Ballroomdating Party will be a paid event. The planned ticket price for the second event is $50 CAD, subject to final event details.

START HERE. Join with an Invitation Referral Code — from a friend who is already on the platform, or from us: 0001-7787-3920-5375-0001. Five provisional points are assigned to you and unlock once you finish setting up your account and profiles. A ticket is 20 Reward Credit Points.

SHARE YOUR CODE for the remaining 15. Your personal Referral Code lives in Settings. Every friend who joins with it earns 5 points for you — and 5 for them. Three friends, and your ticket is covered.
Points can also be redeemed toward a subscription. The choice is yours. YGAME subscriptions provide access to the digital platform extended features and advanced social discovery filters. Ballroomdating Parties are separate in-person events hosted independently. 

 

The exact date of the Ballroomdating™ Party will be announced once 90 Leads tickets and 90 Follows tickets have been confirmed. Founding members are notified first.

 

HOW THE EVENING WORKS

 

One week before the Ballroomdating Party, the online phase opens. You see the profiles of the 90 people in the opposite role and rank them in your own order of preference. Everyone does the same. You don’t have to review all participants list. YGAME’s discovery filters quickly narrow the list, so you can rank either the full list or just the 25 – 35 people you would most like to meet in person. YGAME automatically completes the rest of your event preference list using your selected filters and preferences before the matching process begins.

 

After online check-in closes, the matching process begins using an established many-to-many two-sided stable matching algorithm, built on the market-design framework of Nobel laureate Alvin Roth (Roth, 1984; Roth & Sotomayor, 1990). The system builds for each guest a personal table card of up to 12 partners for the 12 dances.

**Note on beta event:** As this is our founding beta. We do not guarantee that every guest will be matched in every round, or that every registered guest will attend. Some rounds may turn into free time. The matching calculation remains consistent with the submitted preferences of confirmed participants.

On the night:
FIRST HOUR — DATING. You meet the partners on your card — three minutes each, with two minutes transitions between rounds — face to face. When the music plays, those who dance, dance — and those who don’t simply hold hands, talk, and move to the rhythm together.
NEXT TWO HOURS — NETWORKING. All 180 guests are free to meet anyone in the room, at their own pace — for dating, for friendship, or for networking. 

 

The online stage of the Ballroomdating Party begins one week before the in-person event. No later than 48 hours before the event, you must submit your personal preference list of event participants. Submitting your preference list also serves as your online check-in for the event. If you hold a ticket but do not complete online check-in, your ticket remains valid for the next Ballroomdating Party — one deferral, subject to availability and the applicable event rules. If you complete online check-in but do not attend in person, your ticket is cancelled: a confirmed no-show leaves your matched partners without their rounds. For a paid event, the ticket payment will not be refunded in the event of a no-show after online check-in. Reward Credit Points redeemed for a founding-event ticket will not be restored following a no-show after online check-in.

 

GOOD TO KNOW

 

Ages 18+. Identity verification through the YGAME app is required. All-white dress code and valid government-issued photo ID are mandatory. The white theme creates an atmosphere of elegance, purity, and equality — where everyone starts on the same graceful note, allowing personality and connection to shine through.

The organizers provide mathematically established matching methods, an advanced technical platform and high-quality mobile app for coordinating participants’ intentions and matches, as well as a high-quality ballroom and professional sound and music. Alcohol and smoking are strictly prohibited inside the ballroom. The organizers do not provide food or beverages. Participants are asked to bring their own water bottle.

ABOUT US

YGAME - Your Game for an Amazing Meeting Experience

Metro Vancouver is home to roughly half a million single adults passively and actively seeking to build family — and no platform has genuinely solved their problem. Endless swiping, months of messaging, matches that never become meetings. We spent years building something different: a scientifically grounded way to turn online discovery into real, face-to-face connection.

 

YGAME draws inspiration from Game Theory and the economics of matching markets — specifically Alvin Roth’s work on many-to-many stable matching with two-sided quotas, the framework behind how medical residents are matched to hospitals worldwide. In 2012, Alvin Roth and Lloyd Shapley shared the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences “for the theory of stable allocations and the practice of market design” (Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, scientific background: Stable Matching: Theory, Evidence, and Practical Design).

 

…YGAME’s concept of “Think Outside the Four Walls” is inspired by “Get Outside the Four Walls” — one of the core principles of The Venture Mindset (2024) by Professor Ilya Strebulaev of Stanford Graduate School of Business. For Strebulaev, the principle is about getting out to build diverse networks and source the connections that matter

 

Privacy


Privacy is one of the core principles of YGAME™. Users have full control over what information is visible in each connection context. You can adjust visibility settings at any time — or make your profile completely private if you prefer to explore at your own pace. Every user can Go Offline instantly at any time, on any plan.

Transparency


We believe trust starts with transparency. Download the app and tap HARMONY — no account, no profile, no payment details. See exactly how a HARMONY Insight structured match is working, then decide whether YGAME is right for you.

Support


We’re here to help. If you have questions you can reach us whenever you need assistance at [email protected] or through our community Q&A channel. We aim to respond clearly, respectfully, and without friction.

Advanced Analytics


YGAME provides real-time HARMONY Insight as part of the free user experience. These insights are designed to support awareness and reflection — not judgment. For users who want deeper HARMONY Insight, enhanced reports are available as an optional feature. These reports help highlight potential strengths and differences to support thoughtful communication and personal growth.

FAQ

If you would like to learn more about YGAME™ platform, you've come to the right place

General

  • YGAME™ is a real-time social discovery platform that helps people nearby meet for dating, friendship and professional networking. By combining real-time availability, location and shared intent, YGAME turns online discovery into real-world connections.

  • The YGAME Platform is built on three core principles: Safety First, Zero-Trust Protection, and Structured Compatibility Matching. These principles are designed to support meaningful connections across: Dating, Friendship, and Professional Networking.

    We never sell the personal data we process, nor do we use it for any purpose other than providing our advanced services. We also empower people to access, correct, and delete their personal information, giving our users full control over the data that passes through YGAME network.

    HARMONY Insight compares the structured preferences you and another person have declared. It’s a signal, not a prediction. You always decide whether a match feels right — no algorithm replaces your own judgment.

  • At YGAME Platform, the term Zero-Trust Protection means that we apply the highest possible level of security and privacy to our platform, based on modern international standards. In simple terms, Zero-Trust means:

    “We never assume anything is safe by default — every access, every action, and every data request must be verified.”

    This approach protects users even in situations where traditional cybersecurity models fail.

  • Canada has one of the world’s strongest data-protection frameworks. The federal legislative act PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) has been in effect since 2000 and regulates how private-sector organizations collect, use, and disclose personal information in the course of commercial activity in Canada.

    PIPEDA aligns with the modern “Gold Standards” of global privacy legislation:

    GDPR (2016, in force since 2018) — the EU’s privacy framework, among the strictest in the world, protecting anyone in the EU

    CCPA (2018) — California’s privacy and consumer-rights law

    APPI (2003/2015/2020) — Japan’s personal-information protection act

    FADP (2023) — Switzerland’s updated federal data-protection act

    Canada is officially recognized as a jurisdiction that provides “adequate protection” of personal data by the European Union, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and other leading regulators. This recognition applies to Canadian private companies that process and store user data within Canada under full PIPEDA compliance.

  • PIPEDA is Canada’s privacy law with 10 principles to safeguard your information (like nickname, photos, location): 

    1. Accountability: We have Privacy Officers ensuring compliance. 

    2. Purpose: We collect data only for clear purposes, like matching you with others. 

    3. Consent: We ask for your explicit consent before processing your data. 

    4. Limiting Collection: We only gather what’s needed, nothing extra. 

    5. Limiting Use: Your data is used only for agreed purposes. 

    6. Accuracy: We keep your data up-to-date; you can update it anytime. 

    7. Safeguards: We use encryption and industry-standard, independently audited infrastructure to protect your data. 

    8. Openness: Our Privacy Policy explains everything clearly. 

    9. Access: You can correct your data, change access to it, delete your account and profiles at any time.

    10. Complaints: Contact our Privacy Officers. 

  • When we say Zero-Trust Protection, we combine:

    1. Legal Compliance

    We strictly follow the requirements of:

    • PIPEDA (Canada)

    • GDPR (EU)

    • CCPA (California)

    • APPI (Japan)

    • FADP (Switzerland)

    This ensures that user data is handled lawfully, transparently, and with the highest privacy guarantees recognized internationally.

    2. Technical Protection

    We implement a modern Zero-Trust security architecture, where:

    • no device, user, or connection is trusted by default

    • every request must pass identity, security, and permission checks

    • access is provided only when necessary and only to the minimum required data

    • data is encrypted, isolated, monitored, and verified at every step

    3. Operational Safety

    Our systems continuously evaluate:

    • unusual login activity

    • device integrity

    • network behavior

    • user actions

    • anomalies or risks

    All of this protects our users from unauthorized access, account misuse, and data breaches.

    In simple words

    Zero-Trust Protection means combining the most advanced privacy laws in the world with the most modern security architecture.

    It means that:

    Your data is protected by law, protected by technology, and protected by design.

    Nothing and no one is trusted automatically. Every action must prove that it’s safe.

  • Your data is securely stored in Canada on modern Zero-Trust infrastructure, protected by PIPEDA-compliant, SOC 2-audited platform providers.

  • The YGAME app is unique in its approach to determining HARMONY Insight matching between members of the YGAME community. Instead of relying solely on surface-level characteristics, YGAME Platform uses HARMONY Insight — a transparent, deterministic matching engine — to help members find relevant connections based on their declared structured data. 

    YGAME is focused on real-time coordination: you see who is nearby and open to meet right now, across three separate contexts — Dating, Friendship, and Business - with no cross-context data leakage.

  • HARMONY Insight is YGAME’s transparent, deterministic matching engine. It compares the structured data you and another person have explicitly declared — no behavioral tracking, no black-box AI. HARMONY Insight calculates a structured correspondence score based solely on what both users have told the platform. 

  • HARMONY Insight updates in real-time.

  • The YGAME app enables you to search and filter profiles based on estimation of HARMONY Insight matching, as well as other preferences like search range, and personal character. However, most filtration options are only available on a paid plan and may not be accessible in the free version.

  • Short answer: they are optional, personal account privacy settings and preference filters that only you control. YGAME™ never filters, ranks, hides or judges anyone by appearance. These tools simply let you decide who you’d like to see. You never have to use them, and your experience works perfectly without them.

    Here is exactly how it works, in plain terms:

    1. They are 100% optional. You never have to enter your height, weight, eye colour or hair colour. These fields are empty by default. You can leave every one of them blank, fill in only the ones you want, or delete them later. Your profile works fully either way.

    2. You control them — the platform does not. YGAME™ does not use these attributes to filter, rank, hide, score or judge anyone. There is no “ideal” body type and no hidden algorithm sorting people by looks. These are your preference tools: they only narrow the list of people that you choose to see, based on what you are looking for. No one is ever excluded by us.

    3. Why we offer them at all. Physical attraction and external compatibility are a normal, honest part of how many people choose a romantic partner — often it is the very first thing someone notices. Different people look for different things, and that is completely okay. Just as you can filter by age or distance, these optional filters let you spend your time on matches that fit your own preferences instead of scrolling endlessly. (Height preferences, for example, are a standard feature across dating apps.)

    4. You decide, field by field, in every profile. YGAME™ uses one consistent set of profile fields across all three contexts — Dating, Friendship and Business — and you control each field individually in each profile. For every field, including Height, Weight, Eye Colour and Hair Colour, you choose whether to fill it in and whether to make it visible — separately for your Dating, Friendship and Business profiles. So you might choose to show a field in one context and hide it in another, or leave it empty everywhere. Nothing is shared or carried over between your profiles automatically, and YGAME™ never sets any of this for you — the choice in each profile is entirely yours.

    5. No judgement, nothing pre-set. Nothing is pre-filled or assumed about you. The filters are neutral tools. YGAME™ is an inclusive platform — our Community Guidelines prohibit harassment and body-shaming. A preference is simply a preference, never a verdict on anyone’s worth.

    6. Your data stays yours. Anything you enter is self-declared and optional. You decide what is visible in each context, you can edit or delete it at any time, and you can make your profile private. We never sell this data, never use it for advertising, and never use it to profile you. (See our Privacy Policy and PIPEDA section.)

    7. Is this allowed? Yes. These filters express your own personal preferences — they are not decisions the platform makes about anyone. YGAME™ never uses these attributes to rank, hide, score or exclude users; each person simply chooses whom they would like to see. Choosing whom you’d like to meet is lawful and standard practice across dating platforms.

    How to change privacy settings: In YGAME App go to Settings → Dating Profile, Friendship Profile, Business Profile. Turn any checkbox ON or OFF. 

    In short: these fields are optional, private and entirely in your hands. You decide if, when and how to use them — and you can switch them off or delete them at any time.

  • The YGAME platform takes user privacy seriously and follows industry-standard security measures to protect personal information. We have strict policies in place to safeguard your data, and you have full control over your data at any time. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more information.

  • Connecting your social media accounts is optional, and can provide additional insights into your interests as well as help confirm your identity. Visit my profile section and edit your account. 

  • The application features a reporting system that enables users to flag any inappropriate behaviour or offensive content in several ways.

    Users can report such content by accessing the support chatbot in the support section, which can be found by clicking on the question mark icon located at the top of the navigation menu.

    Additionally, users can also flag content by opening the 3 dot menu on the account page that violates our  Guidelines, or  through their private chatroom  by clicking on the user avatar icon and opening the user chat profile 

    Once a report is submitted, it will be reviewed by our moderation team that will promptly take the necessary actions.  See our Guidelines for more information.

  • We offer a dedicated customer support bot to assist our users. Moreover, we have a team of professionals who are always available to help you. You can contact them via email. We highly recommend that you first seek solutions with the support chatbot integrated into our app for more efficient support.

  • While the app offers a free basic version, there are premium features available with a subscription. These features enhance user experience and provide access to advanced compatibility insights.

  • The app has a set of community guidelines that prohibit discriminatory, harassing, or offensive behaviour. Moderation is conducted to maintain an inclusive and positive environment for all users. For more information, please refer to the Guidelines.

  • When you create your profile, you have the option to set specific objectives for each profile type - Dating, Friendship, and Business. These goals could include finding a romantic partner who shares your interests, meeting new friends who enjoy the same hobbies as you, or networking with professionals in your field. By defining these objectives, the app can provide more tailored matches that align with your individual preferences and priorities.

  • You can delete your account on the YGAME app anytime you want to leave the platform. However, we may retain certain records for up to 180 days for security and legal compliance, as described in our Terms of Use. To delete your account, go to the my profile section of the app. For more information, please refer to our terms and conditions.
