How would you draw the same prompt? Every day, a new prompt arrives. "What did you have for lunch today?" "What made you laugh the most recently?" "What’s something you want to tell your partner?" You both receive the same question and answer it with a drawing. Once both of you finish, your doodles are revealed, and you discover how differently the same thought can be seen. • One prompt every day What prompt arrived today? No need to wonder what to draw. Just answer the daily question with a sketch. Whether you've been together for 2 days or 2 years, every prompt sparks a new conversation. • Doodles revealed together You can only see your partner's drawing after both of you have finished. The excitement of opening your doodles and seeing two completely different perspectives on the same prompt is what Pingpong is all about. • A gentle nudge Haven't heard from your partner today? Send them a little poke. It's an easy way to say "Come draw with me" without sounding like you're nagging. • Your shared doodle diary Every prompt and doodle is saved. Look back at what you drew a month ago, six months ago, or even longer. Together, you build a diary made of moments, memories, and sketches. Perfect for couples who... Feel like your daily conversations have become repetitive Are in a long-distance relationship and want to share everyday moments Find drawing easier than putting feelings into words Want to create a small daily ritual together How to start Invite your partner with an invite code, and your first prompt will arrive. Some days are hard to put into words. Send a doodle instead. Not every day has to be special, but together, you'll create a record worth keeping.
