PLAY THE DATING GAME! –

Ok look. Dating is hard. You need help. This game was designed with the help of a world class advice author (Ruth Libby) and her daughter. In the game, you pretend you are me.

GAME START


Hello Dade / Zero Cool. Despite your best efforts, you’ve somehow landed a date with Acid Burn, a hacker you only know digitally. All you know about her is that her real first name is “Kate” and she’s the best phreakin’ hacker you’ve ever encountered. Please successfully navigate this date.

You walk into a dimly lit cafe with soft jazz music playing in the background. You sit across from Acid Burn (Kate) at a small table with candles flickering between you.

What’s your opening?

1. So, uh, Kate, thanks for agreeing to go out with me. I mean, I never thought I’d be sitting here with Acid Burn herself.


2. So, thanks for agreeing to meet up, Acid Burn. I mean, Kate. Sorry, old habits die hard.


3. Hey, Acid Burn! You made it. Uh, thanks for meeting up with me.
