After being greeted by the host with a prosecco reception in a chintzy livingroom-esque bar, we were taken into another room along with 10 other people. After being given the lowdown and donning the night vision goggles, our host plunged us into complete darkness.

The results were pretty interesting and the night was pretty fun. Word to the wise – your other senses are heightened so you may find yourself tuning on the other participants best date banter, or worse, their breath.
