This App Uses Mini Games to Identify Potential Matches
Katherine Pendrill — October 28, 2015 — Tech
'Mazel' is a new dating app that uses mini games to identify potential matches. While many dating apps rely on photos and other superficial information to connect users, Mazel adopts a different approach.
Mazel is designed to remove the superficial aspect of online dating. Instead of letting users choose their partner based on photos and short biographies, Mazel forces users to discover the personality of their potential date. Each user must play four mini games in order to uncover different bits of information about the person they are interested in. Only after these games have been completed will users be able to see the full profile and picture of the person they are chatting with. Although it may sound unusual, each game is specially designed to help identify potential matches.
Mazel ultimately provides a fun and creative alternative to photo-based dating apps.
