To keep online dating exciting, we came up with NextDate™ - an interactive speed-dating game for Plenty of Fish Live!

What is Blind Date?
This new addition to the NextDate dating game offers a digital twist on a traditional “blind date.” The new mode can be toggled on and off in the NextDate game settings, giving the streaming hosts the opportunity to hear the contestant, not see them. As the date progresses the contestant’s video becomes less blurred, and is only revealed when time runs out, or the streaming host chooses to “date” the contestant.
To jump into a Blind Date with someone open Live! In the Plenty of Fish mobile apps. Tap the Date tab at the top of your screen. Tap any of the streamer profile images with the blue BlindDate label. Once you’ve joined their stream, tap the heart icon that says Date Me to begin playing when your turn starts!
Start your own round of Blind Date by opening Live! then tap Go Live at the bottom of the screen. After your stream starts, tap on the heart icon at the bottom left of your screen to start a round of NextDate. Tap the heart icon again to change into Blind Date mode. All that’s left is to wait for your first Blind Date to join your stream!
