Ask any single friend what they don’t like about their dating app today and the complaints come pouring in. Some require too much time to complete a profile. Swipe-to-match, results in too many lame chats that go nowhere, and almost all feature cookie-cutter user responses that are boring. In Challengr no one can directly talk to one another other. Instead, the only way to match with someone is to either Respond to their Challenge or have them respond to yours. So, what is a Challenge? Well these are questions you make to the community essentially giving them a blueprint for how to connect with you. If you are a gym rat you might create a Challenge of ‘Do 20 pull ups’. Have a long commute, maybe a Challenge of ‘What was the last podcast you listened to’. Once you create a Challenge and the responses start coming in you can either ‘dislike’ a response, at which point you wont see it again, or ‘like’ it, which makes you both a ‘match’ and allows you to direct message. The best part being, you already have a built in ice-breaker, the Challenge! Your inbox is now free of ‘hey how are you’, ‘you look hot’ or pick-up lines powered by puns on your name.
