I. The 4:22 invitation

Odd tables,
every weekend.

The best dinners are the ones you didn't plan. Every Wednesday at 4:22 PM, oddtables sends you a Friday gig, a Saturday supper, or a Sunday walk — five strangers picked for you, not by you, at a table you'd never have booked.

You can't multiply your way
into new friends.
You have to risk an odd table.

The dinners you remember are the ones that surprised you — the wrong table, the wrong seat, the wrong person who turned out to be the right one. We engineer those. Five strangers, picked by a quiz that maps how you actually show up at a table — not who you'd put on a profile.

— No swiping

You either get the WhatsApp or you don't. No matches, no inboxes, no chasing.

— No profiles

We don't show you their face, age, or bio. The night IS the introduction.

— No commitment

Skip a week. Cancel a month. Come back when the city quiets again.

Three steps.
No profiles. No swiping. No DMs.

01

Take the vibe quiz

Eight questions, three minutes. We map five dimensions: openness, energy, depth, humor, adventure. Not a profile — a fingerprint.

Editor's note

We score you on a vector, not a label. Your fingerprint determines who you sit with — and who you don't.

02

The 4:22 drop

Every Wednesday at 4:22 PM, your WhatsApp buzzes. Inside: this Sunday's 7 PM table — the area, your one-line persona, no faces yet.

Editor's note

We curate one format per group per week. You don't pick the night, the venue, or the strangers. That's the magic.

03

Show up. That's it.

Sunday, 7 PM. The venue is revealed the evening before. Pay your own bill. Stay as long as the night wants to.

Editor's note

The 'who you'd see again' bit feeds the next match. The system gets sharper every weekend.

Five strangers.
One curated table.

An eight-question quiz scores you on five dimensions — we call it the Odd Math. We build groups of six who are similar enough to click and different enough to be interesting. A human looks at every table before the 4:22 drop.

Five ways of showing up.
We build tables where they meet.

Openness, energy, depth, humor, adventure. Our quiz scores you on each, then matches groups where people are similar enough to click and different enough to be interesting.

I
The Late-Night Asker
Asks one more question. Dinner runs past midnight.
II
The Table Spark
Walks in, the energy lifts. Makes everyone funnier.
III
The Dry Wit
Notices the absurd thing and says it.
IV
The Curious Listener
Came to be changed, not just heard.
V
The 11pm Plan-Maker
Convinces the group to keep going. Half of them will.
VII·½. Safety first

Six strangers,
zero unknowns.

Dinner with people you haven't met should feel exciting, not risky. So we know who everyone is, keep every night public, and act fast when anyone crosses a line.

✓ built in
Real people, no anonymous seats

Every member joins with their own WhatsApp number and email and pays by card in their own name. Nobody sits at a table anonymously.

✓ built in
Public venues, always in six

Every dinner is at a public restaurant, in a group of six. Never one-on-one, never a private address. The format is the safeguard.

✓ built in
A code of conduct with teeth

Harassment, solicitation, or aggression means immediate suspension. One email to us and we act — no questions, no second chances for safety breaches.

✓ built in
Women's safety, taken seriously

Balanced tables by design, and women-only nights on request. You'll always know the neighbourhood before you say yes.

Three people
who got tired
of the same dinner.

We're a small team — a former editor, an event-producer, and an algorithm-person. We started oddtables because every dinner we hosted ended with someone asking, "how do we keep meeting people like this?" So we made the answer.

Editor-in-chief
Curates the room

Picks the venues, briefs the conversation prompts.

Producer
Runs the night

Talks to venues, sends the WhatsApps, fixes what breaks.

Engineer
Builds the match

Reads the feedback, tunes the algorithm, never goes to the dinners.

Q01

Is this a dating app?

No. Groups of six, mixed-gender, optimized for conversation. People meet partners sometimes. It's not the point.

Q02

How much does it cost?

S$59 a month. Covers up to 4 Sunday dinners a month, at 7 PM (up to 3 in your first month). You pay your own bill at the venue. Cancel anytime, no lock-in.

Q03

Why 4:22 PM on Wednesday?

It's our drop. Every Wednesday at 4:22, you get the week's invitation on WhatsApp — venue, day, time, your one-line persona. It's the same ritual every week so you know when to look. (Yes, the 4:22 thing is a nod. We're not embarrassed about it.)

Q04

Why Sunday, 7 PM?

Because the best dinners need time, and Sunday evening is the one most people keep free. Every table starts at 7 PM — stay as long as the conversation runs. The area arrives in the Wednesday 4:22 drop; the venue is revealed the evening before.

Q05

Will someone from oddtables be at the dinner?

No. The six at the table are all matched members. We do the matching, the venue, the conversation prompts — behind the scenes. Day-of, it's just the six of you.

Q06

Why odd tables?

Because the dinners you remember are the ones that surprised you. The right table — the obvious one with your usual people — doesn't change you. The odd one does. We engineer the odd, deliberately.

Q07

What kinds of nights?

Dinners, comedy, listening parties, gallery openings, wine bars, sunday walks, late drives. One curated format per group per weekend.

Q08

How does the matching work?

An eight-question quiz scores you on five dimensions — we call it the Odd Math. We build groups of six who are similar enough to click and different enough to be interesting. A human looks at every table before the 4:22 drop.

Q09

How soon after I subscribe do I get my first table?

Right after you join, we tell you on WhatsApp when your first Singapore table is. After that, the invite lands every Wednesday at 4:22 PM Singapore time.

Q10

What if my group doesn't click?

Leave whenever. Tell us afterwards. Your next group will look nothing like this one.

Q11

Do I need to live in Singapore?

You need to be in Singapore on the Sundays you say yes to. Tables are across the island — Tanjong Pagar, Tiong Bahru, Holland Village, Katong and more — and you pick your area after you join.

XI. Apply within

You've been with
the same six people
for six years.

The weekend after you sign up, we'll send you to a room you haven't sat in, with five people you haven't met. By February you'll have a new group of friends. We're not exaggerating — the maths is the maths.

S$59 a month. Up to four Sunday dinners. Cancel anytime. The vibe quiz takes three minutes, no account.
