Ask HN: A service for dating through escape rooms with strangers?
amichail Thursday, November 06, 2025What if you could meet potential dates by teaming up with strangers in an escape room challenge?
You’d get thrown into a fun, high-pressure puzzle scenario with 4–6 other singles. You’d see how people actually think, communicate, and cooperate. This is way more revealing than a typical first date.
After the escape room, everyone fills out a private questionnaire about whom they’d like to go on a date with (if anyone). Only mutual matches are notified afterward. No awkward “asking out” moments, no pressure.
It’s kind of a blend between speed dating and team-based problem solving, but more memorable and revealing than either.
Do you think this would be a good idea?
