The Date Dealer's offer during an online game

How the game plays

  1. 01
    Pick

    They choose one of 20 mystery envelopes and keep it sealed.

  2. 02
    Eliminate

    Four rounds of cracking wax seals. Every opened envelope is a date leaving the game.

  3. 03
    Resist

    The Date Dealer calls three times with an offer you wrote. DATE, or NO DATE?

  4. 04
    Reveal

    Stick or swap, then the last seal breaks. That is your next date.

The Date Dealer calling with an offer during the game

Play it together, or apart

On the sofa

Cast it to the TV and play it together. Arguing with the Dealer is half the fun.

As a surprise

Send the link and wait. You get an email with the result the moment they finish.

On a call

Perfect for long distance: they play, you watch their face.

Why a game beats another question deck

Question games are great for talking. This one is for doing: it turns "we should go out more" into an actual plan, chosen by the person who usually says "I don't mind". The tension of the rounds is the fun part; the date at the end is the point.

Questions, answered

What are fun games to play with your partner online?

Question decks and quizzes are the usual picks. If you want one with a prize, DateOrNoDate is a game show where one of you sets up 20 date envelopes and the other plays for one of them, on their phone.

Is there a couples game we can play on our phones?

Yes. DateOrNoDate runs in the phone's browser from a link. No app to install.

Do we need an account?

No, neither of you. The creator gets the links by email after paying; the player just opens the link (and enters a PIN, if you set one).

Is it free?

Building a game is free. Sending it to your partner costs $3.99, once, with unlimited replays.

Can we play it together on the sofa?

Of course. Put it on the TV or a laptop and play it together, or hand them the phone and watch.
