## What is Venus?

Dating's always been a game. Now it's a fun one.

Venus gives you one match a week and turns getting to know them into a game you play together. No endless scrolling. Just one person, one week, and a date at the end of it if you both want one.

HOW A WEEK WORKS

Monday: you get your match.

All week: a new clue about them every day, a doodle to trade, and a question you both answer. Ask them up to two questions of your own, and send a voice memo if you're feeling brave.

Your photo, your call: share it as a 9-piece puzzle your match unlocks by playing, or keep it a surprise until Friday.

Thursday: you each decide whether to meet. It only becomes a date if you both say yes, and nobody finds out either way.

Friday: head to a spot in town picked by us. A hot/cold meter warms up as you get close. Check in when you arrive, and the reveal is yours.

BUILT WITH SAFETY IN MIND

- Every date is at a public place, picked by us
- Report or block anyone, any time
- Share your plans with a friend in one tap
- Your location is used only while the meetup screen is open, never in the background
- A verified university email is required to join

WHO IT'S FOR

Venus is free and currently open to Virginia Tech students 18 and older with a @vt.edu email. More campuses later.
