# Gamified Dating Apps The Splish Dating App Makes Users Complete Quizzes to Get Matches By Michael Hines | Published 2017-03-27 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/splish-dating-app References: [producthunt](https://www.producthunt.com/posts/splish) & [itunes.apple](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/splish-q-a-dating-game-app/id1083231143?mt=8&ref=producthunt) The Splish dating app takes a novel approach to online dating. Instead of letting you swipe away until you get a match, the app makes you host or [play a game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluttr-spin-the-bottle) to find matches. Users can either join existing games, which have a max of three players, or create their own. Questions come from a variety of categories that include pop culture and deal-breakers (dogs or cats?). After three rounds, a winner is chosen by the game's host and the match is made. The Splish dating app puts a time limit on each game's question in an effort to encourage slow responders to move things along. Should your connection start to die out when chatting, Splish offers [ready-made questions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mutually-app) to kick start the conversation. (It's kind of hard to give up on a conversation when someone wants to know your favorite '90s cartoons.) The Splish dating app is available now on iOS as a free download. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Gamified Dating:** Splish dating app uses games to find matches, disrupting traditional online dating methods. - **Interactive Matchmaking:** Splish app's interactive gameplay creates a more engaging and dynamic matchmaking experience. - **Conversation Starters:** Splish app provides ready-made questions to spark conversations, enhancing user engagement. ### Who This Affects Most - **Online Dating:** Online dating platforms can leverage gamification to make the matchmaking process more enjoyable and interactive for users. - **Mobile App Development:** Developers can explore innovative ways to incorporate gamification into dating apps, enhancing user experience and retention. - **Social Networking:** Social networking platforms can incorporate gamified elements to create unique and engaging user experiences within the dating space. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interactive Dating Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smitten.md) - [Personality-Focused Dating Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anxser.md) - [Dating App Personality Showcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wudya.md) - [Gamified Video Dating Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/irly.md) - [Authentic Connection Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spark-dating.md) - [Meme-Based Dating Sites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schmooze.md) - [AI-Powered Dating Simulators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-game-game.md) - [Matchmaking Dating Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheers-dating-app.md) - [Blind Date App Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blind-date1.md)
