DateRoom is a virtual room where you actually show up to each other. Open one for a date. Open one for friends in different cities. Hit play on the same movie. Take turns DJing. Sit together - wherever you are. The room is the point. For new matches, long-distance partners, sisters in different countries, the book club across time zones, anyone tired of texting back and forth and would rather just be in the same room for an hour. WHAT YOU CAN DO IN A ROOM • Watch — sync any YouTube video so you're hitting play at the same second • DJ — queue songs, hand off the aux, no awkward silences • Deck — card prompts that turn surface-level into substance • Capture — shared moments, saved straight to your photos • Chat — text alongside the video, never breaking the moment ROOMS FOR EVERY KIND OF NIGHT • Try a single date — a 20-minute window, just enough for tonight • Date Pack — three rooms, an hour each, for the early matches • Long Pack — five rooms, two hours each, for the ones with potential • Together — a room that stays open. Same code, every night. Custom walls. Unlimited everything. PRIVACY Calls are real-time. We don't record. You can delete your room and everything in it in two taps.
