## Enabling Singles / Networking

1. Open the **ALIVE app** or go to the **web dashboard**
2. Create a new event or edit an existing one
3. Find the **Singles** toggle in the event settings
4. Turn it **on**
5. Choose your **mode**:

That's it — the social feature is now active for this event.

## Configuration Options

Once enabled, you can fine-tune how it works for your event:

* **Mode** — Singles (matchmaking) or Networking (professional connections)
* **Event name** — This shows up when guests join the experience
* **Event branding** — Your template and design carry through to the pages

## How Guests Join

When Singles is enabled, guests at the booth will be able to join the Singles experience after taking their photos:

1. Guest takes their photos at the booth
2. They scan a **QR code** that takes them to the Singles page on their phone
3. They create a quick profile with their name and booth photo
4. They're in — ready to browse and swipe

## Before the Event

A few things to set up ahead of time:

* **Test it** — Run through the flow yourself before the event starts. Take a photo, create a profile, and make sure everything works.
* **Brief the host** — Let the event organizer know about the Singles feature so they can promote it to guests
* **Mention it at the booth** — A small sign or verbal prompt ("Want to join Singles? Scan the QR code!") goes a long way

## Tips

* **Match the mode to the event** — Use Singles mode for social/dating events and Networking mode for corporate/professional events. The right mode makes all the difference.
* **Combine with other features** — Singles + AI effects + printing = an unforgettable booth experience
* **Promote it early** — The more guests who join, the more fun it is for everyone
* **Networking mode is a corporate upsell** — Event planners at conferences and corporate mixers will pay extra for a feature that helps attendees connect

| The magic of Singles & Networking is that it gives guests a reason to come back to the booth — and to stay engaged with the event longer. More interaction, more fun, more value for your client.
