Is this a couples app?

No. The same games are played by friends, siblings and people who’ve just met. Nothing assumes you’re a couple.

Do we need to schedule it?

No — send the link when you’re both on. Some people make it a weekly thing.

Does it work across time zones?

It’s live, so you both need to be there. The games are short enough to fit an awkward overlap.

You’re on video every night. That’s not the problem.

You’ve covered what you ate, how work went, and when the next visit is. You’re not short of time together — you’re short of things to do with it. So you end up half-watching something in parallel: in the same call, not quite in the same room.

A game is something to do that isn’t logistics.

Nothing’s wrong, and that’s the point

This isn’t repair, and it isn’t a relationship course. There’s nothing to diagnose and nobody gets a score. It’s for the evenings when you want the call to be a bit more than a call.

Start with

What I Love

Three minutes each, uninterrupted, on something you love. Longer than you’d normally get, and you’ll hear something new.

The Wishing Game

Wishes for yourself, for others, for a year from now. Wonderful and slightly dangerous when you’re planning a life across two countries.

The invite

The hardest part is asking. Here are the words — send them as they are.

“Instead of just talking tonight — want to play something with me? Ten minutes.”
