Gickup launches Blind Video Date (an online dating game show)

Co-founder here. We are launching the first online dating game show that will be cast, produced and broadcast all online. Our game is called Blind Video Date. Blind Video Date is an amalgam of The Dating Game and Love Connection-–famous dating television shows from the 1960s and 1980s. Final contestants will be awarded $100 prize each. We have a couple of early auditions you can vote for at the end of the videos:

We try to solve some of the pitfalls of traditional dating sites.

- No fake profiles since we rely on videos.

- No crazy algorithm. We rely on the power of the crowd (friends and strangers). This is supported by research that finds that dating algorithms are not effective at finding a true match. Better predictors according to research rely on your conversational habits and your problem solving tendencies.

- No crazy, blind, in person dates

That's how we solve online dating with our fun, risk-free, crowd-sourced dating game.

If interested, please audition here: http://quickauditions.com/dating It takes one minute to complete. Just answer one question on video, "If you were granted one wish, what would that be?"
