Unseen runs several kinds of social: drinks, games nights and dinners. This review covers the dinners only, because that is the format people compare with Siena.

Who it suits, and who it does not
A good fit if you
- are 25 to 39 and want conversation that goes deeper than work
- like a host and a structure on the night
- can wait for the next date to be announced
Not a good fit if you
- want to book a dinner this week
- are under 25 or over 39
- would find conversation cards forced
Where Unseen beats Siena
- A host and prompts. The cards give every table a starting point. Siena gives you a table and lets the talk happen.
- Other formats. Unseen also runs drinks and games nights. Siena is dinner only.
- A clear age band. Every guest is 25 to 39. Siena groups people of a similar age but takes anyone over 18.
