In September, news broke that Tinder was creating a ‘choose your own adventure’ style series.

Sure, because flicking through hundreds of photos of what people used to look like when they were in shape, and then arranging to meet them in public where others can see you’re on an awkward ‘date’, isn’t adventurous enough.

Anyway, the series/video game is called Swipe Night, and new ‘adventures’ are uploaded to the app each Sunday at 6PM (Washington D.C. time).

Rather aptly, reports the Washington Post, the adventure they tested started with an Armageddon situation, which would no doubt lead to a mad rush to try and get a final ‘snuggle’ in:

If you open Tinder during Swipe Night hours, you’ll see a big START NOW button. Click it and you’ll see a news report about a near-Earth object (a comet) that’s heading close to Earth. You’re the game’s main character, and you’re going to ride out the night at a party at your friend Molly’s house. When you arrive, she answers her door in an all-black outfit with neon green piping, her dog similarly dressed, and you’ll face your first decision: You can compliment Molly or insult her. This being Tinder, all the decisions you make will be done via left or right swipe.

To the trailer we go:

Gents, this isn’t regular Tinder, so you’re going to need to do better than simply swiping right on every option.

The makers of the series have actually put in quite a bit of hard work on this front:

Tinder clearly put a lot of thought into Swipe Night’s aesthetics and story: Karena Evans, who’s done music videos for Drake, directed; Nicole Delaney (a writer for Netflix’s “Big Mouth”) and Brandon Zuck wrote the screenplay.

For those who are keen to take a look behind the scenes of the making of Swipe Night, we’re here to help:

May your swipes result in a lifetime of happiness.
