Tinder worked with OpenAI to create The Game Game, an interactive AI chat experience that aims to relieve the stress of dating by making the unexpected less intimidating. Intentionally launched on April Fool’s Day so that daters can brush up on their skills and make their flirting abilities feel less like a joke, The Game Game throws users into over-the-top situations so ridiculous they’ll feel confident enough to handle anything that comes their way.

In its 2023 Future of Dating Report, Tinder found that “64% of young singles surveyed internationally said they are comfortable with cringey or awkward situations if it means being authentic.” With The Game Game, users interact with an AI persona and get real-time feedback.
