What better location for a real-life dating game show then a romantic mid-century ballroom in Brunswick, in front of a no-doubt captivated (if not squeamish) live audience.
If you’re sick of the dehumanisation and apathetic repetition of scrolling through dating apps on your couch, occasionally swiping right, and eventually having a stunted conversation of small talk before never meeting up with each other, then come on down to Human Love Quest. Putting the human back into actual human interaction since 2021.
That’s the aim of Brunswick Ballroom’s regular on-stage dating show, which features that classic If You Are The One format of a team of hopefuls vying for the attention of one contestant. Anyone can participate, regardless of how they identify, what they’re comfortable with, or what they’re looking for out of an encounter.
All you have to do is fill out a questionnaire detailing who you are and what you’re chasing to help the match-makers help pair you with some like-minded, suitable singles.

Every contestant, and hopeful, will have to fill out a brief online form that will tell the organisers – hosted by Conor Gallacher and Xander Allan, with sound and DJ skills by The Captain – how you identify, who you would be comfortable having a date with, and what you are looking for. The show would be nothing without an audience, so everyone’s encouraged to come along and bask in the glow of a potential love match, while enjoying the Ballroom’s food and beverage options.
The evening consists of four rounds of this game show, each paired-up couple receiving a complimentary bottle of bubbles and a private seat downstairs at the Brunswick Artists Bar. If you’ve got what it takes to be a Human Love Quest contestant, the sign-up form is here. That sign-up form features a vetting process that will ensure every round will feature like-minded humans, unlike Tinder.
