Lights On

No likey? Lights off.

One single faces a panel of three, each with a light switched on. Over three rounds of reveals (a video-style intro performed live, a talent, and a friend's confession) each panelist decides whether to keep their light on. If any lights remain, the single picks from them for a date. Lights are board state; decisions are choice cues.

Roles

Talent roles are gated by tier; player roles are open to anyone who has verified their email. Any role can be covered by an AI understudy if the producer's fill policy allows it.

  • HostTalent · needs Talent+

    Bring the single down, run each round, call for the lights, and read the board. Keep the panel honest: a light off needs a reason.

    Understudy persona: Paddy O'Shea — Saturday-night showman, catchphrase-free but you'd never notice

  • The SinglePlayer · open

    You're here for a date. Three rounds to impress a panel of three; they can switch their light off at any point. Keep at least one on and the choice is yours.

  • PanelistPlayer · open×3

    Your light starts ON. After each round decide: keep it on or switch it off, and say why in one sentence. If your light's still on at the end, the single may pick you.
