XO Dating Games

I cringe when it comes to dating apps, find them shallow and superfluous, I strongly believe that the current crop of dating apps are designed to make you look larger than life, with swanky corporate lines and design. It feels like you are "shopping"! BUT, What XO is able to illustrate is that dating is not shopping for a fake Gucci bag at cheap price to be used for an event overnight! It seems to be in the DNA of the XO design to be chill, playful, easy, with guards down, and super casual. This coffee table casualness seems like the right experience to bring out cheerful human conversations. I bet most people who opted-out on current dating platforms will give this one a try. Well done XO team. Best wishes.

Seems like a fun app with twist.

what a fun and different addition to the dating app scene - which can be so impersonal and shallow. love the concept and the app has a great look and feel - well done team!!

XO is a fun new take on social dating apps that gives you a way to break the ice beyond the oh-so-typical "sup" or "hey" openers that seem all too common! With an emphasis on fun and gameplay up-front, I wonder how the quality of XO's outcomes will compare to other apps that have become more popular for short term hookups. 🤔 I also wonder if this approach will have adverse outcomes for sore losers! 😱

Love the idea! Sounds a lot more fun than Facetime, which is all we can do with dating nowadays.

We’re excited to be here on Product Hunt! Our goal at XO is to be a place to have fun. While other apps focus on a specific outcome like a relationship or hookup, we want to create a shared experience. We believe games have the unique ability to open us up to truly connect with one another. This matters now, more than ever. The idea for XO started when my cofounders Nicholas and Andy were building mobile games and launched one game that, in particular, drove a lot of conversations. And — starting a conversation is one of the main pain points on dating apps, so they decided to bring dating and games together. We launched a geo-beta in Toronto last November and have used our time there to refine the app’s feature set and overall experience. We are thrilled with what we are launching today but also know it is only the beginning of an entirely new way to meet people and develop meaningful relationships. We welcome your feedback and questions!

I love this concept - it's so awkward using other apps. I like getting pings a few times a day learning someone wants to connect and engage in a lighthearted game. It's just so nice! And, I love the illustrations - so fun! :)
