Sealed: A Season of Letters

Field notes

Sealed organizes correspondence around shared life circumstances rather than attraction, photos, or broad social discovery. The visible process begins with a chapter request, then waits for enough people to gather before a person reads applications and makes a pairing. The homepage shows an eight-week format with letters due every Thursday and lists requested chapters from cities including Lisbon, Manchester, Rotterdam, Berlin, and Porto. It states that the $39 fee is charged only when both people are in.
