The whole KC guide is open to everyone — neighborhoods, moods, prices, happy hours. Rooftops in the Crossroads, dive bars in Westport, tasting menus downtown. Poke around as long as you like; no sign-up, no camera, no pressure.
Open the guideSpark
Tell us the kind of night you're after, then say hello to someone for two minutes. If you're both enjoying it, stay on for five more — and pick a place together from the same KC list.
- 01
Set preferences
Dining, Entertainment, or Drinks. Age range and who you're interested in. Vibe tags if you want them. Budget is not part of matching.
- 02
Match on substance
Browse real answers, not photos — what people said about their ideal KC night or their unpopular KC opinion.
- 03
Two minutes on video
Now you talk. Face stays in frame — that's the rule. If you both like each other, extend up to five more minutes.
- 04
Private yes or no
Neither of you sees the other's answer until you've both decided.
- 05
Pick the place
Mutual yes opens the venue list, filtered by budget and what you both said you wanted. Budget only shapes venue picks — never who you meet.
The house rules (they're short)
Nine friendly ground rules that keep KC Chemistry feeling good for everyone. Read them once when you're ready to say hello — browsing needs nothing at all.
- 1
Grown folks only
You've got to be 18 or older to say hello here. That's the one hard line.
- 2
Bring your real self
No filters to hide behind and no profile to perfect — it's just you on camera for a couple of minutes. Honestly, that's the easy part.
- 3
Consent is the cover charge
Cameras only come on once you've both said hello, and either of you can end a Spark whenever you like. No reason needed, no hard feelings.
- 4
Keep the Spark classy
Flirt away. Nudity, harassment, threats, hate speech and bullying are the only things that get you shown the door.
- 5
No bootlegs
Don't record, screenshot or share someone's Spark without asking. What happens in the Spark Room stays in the Spark Room.
- 6
“Not this time” means next song
Not every hello turns into something, and that's fine. No one owes anyone a match or an explanation — take the answer gracefully and keep dancing.
- 7
Make the first plan public
Pick a restaurant, bar, café or music room for round one — somewhere with other people around. Homes can wait.
- 8
Cancel like a grown-up
Life happens. If plans change, cancel in the app at least two hours ahead and offer another night if you still want to go. Check in when you arrive. Just not turning up counts as a no-show, and two in a row means we'll part ways.
- 9
Tell us when the vibe is off
If someone makes you uncomfortable, block or report them — it ends the connection right away, you'll never be matched again, and you never have to say a word to them.
And if someone won't play nice: we step in. Repeatedly breaking these can mean a warning, a pause, or being asked to leave — so everyone else can relax.
