Description
Midnight Lobby is a free dating app for gamers on Android. It matches people on how they play (schedule, session length, play style, social energy), not just shared games. Every match can start with one of 8 two-player games in the chat, or meet through Lobbies: open seats for a quick 1v1 game. Messaging is free, no daily limit. In 10 languages, for every kind of gamer, and open to men, women and non-binary people. An AI agent screens photos for unsafe content; block and report are built in.
