Despite millions of people living in urban centers, many still experience a pervasive sense of isolation and disconnection, and Timeleft fights the loneliness epidemic in big cities by bringing strangers together over dinner.
Once weekly, on Wednesdays, Timeleft hosts dinner events all over the world. After taking a short personality test, Timeleft users are matched to a small group of diners with an algorithm to foster compatibility and connection throughout the evening. To get conversations flowing, Timeleft's app unlocks a game for diners to play around the table, knowing that both introverts and extroverts are drawn to the potential to make new friends.
Available in 160 cities and 33 countries, Timeleft now offers experiences in Funchal and Palma de Mallorca.
