If you’ve ever been on the receiving end of terrible dating app chat (and, let’s be honest, haven’t we all?), find strength in the fact that you’re not alone at the Breeze Museum of Dead Chat. This free Soho pop up will feature some of the nation’s most cringeworthy dating app messages in a gallery of artwork, installations and immersive experiences on display July 25 and 26.
Hosted by the new-to-London dating app Breeze at 59 Greek Street, the Museum of Dead Chat is airing out the regrettable salutations and awkward interactions you encounter on the apps – you know, the one’s you’d screenshot and share with the group chat? Visitors will also have the chance to partake in a live interactive experience, designed to showcase the benefits of real life conversations.
A trip to the Museum is a chance to find a few laughs, fight the ick and experience a playful spin on one of the issues with current dating app models. It’s also the perfect intro to Breeze’s revolutionary status as a dating app with no chat function. Disappointing dating app chat begone!

How does a dating app with no chat function work?
Rather than enduring the painful process of chatting with person after person, Breeze matches users with a handful of compatible profiles every day at 7pm. If it’s a match, the app will organise your very first date right away for only £9.50, first drinks included!
With research revealing that 56 percent of UK singles think monotonous messaging is hard work and awkward and 29 per cent saying it gives them the ick if it takes too long, a face-to-face connection might be exactly what you need to switch up your game.
This simplified approach to dating lets you put down the phone, avoid the misadventures of swipe culture and connect with potential matches in person. And you can wave goodbye to the terrifyingly terrible conversations which typically define the dating app experience…the type you can instead have a laugh at by popping into the Museum of Dead Chat on Thursday, July 25 from 2-6pm and Friday, July 26 from 11am-8pm.
