Tinder launches card‑game partnership, Hinge releases LGBTI+ dating study

Tinder teamed up with the card‑game company behind "Isso Não É Um Jogo" to create a relationship game that includes more than 70 questions and challenges designed to spark conversation for new couples and long‑term partners. The offline game is marketed as a way to deepen connection and is available through the dating app.

Hinge published a global survey of over 31,000 users, focusing on the LGBTQIA+ community in Brazil. The research found that 86 % of respondents view consistent communication as essential for easing anxiety, while 89 % value curiosity about a partner’s life. Most users prefer building connections slowly, with 76 % favoring a gradual pace. Emotional safety and shared values were highlighted as key priorities, and many LGBTQIA+ users expressed hesitation about public displays of affection due to safety concerns.
