Heat Check Scoring

Both of you answer the same questions separately. Then the app compares your answers and shows your compatibility as a percentage. You find out how closely you actually line up.

Trivia Competition

Answer questions about each other and compete. Whoever knows their partner better wins. The wrong answers are usually more interesting than the right ones.

Four Spice Levels

Soft is the gentlest and wild the most intense, with playful and hot in between. The level you pick during setup becomes your default for later sessions.

Heat Check Makes Your Answers Count

Classic would-you-rather is a conversation starter that fizzles after a few rounds. Heat Check takes the same instinct and gives it structure. Both partners answer independently. Neither can see what the other picked. Then the app compares your answers and scores your compatibility as a percentage. The questions scale from playful preferences to the kind of intimate territory that most couples navigate by assumption instead of asking directly. Assumptions erode. Answers build.

Frequently Asked Questions

Regular would-you-rather gives you a question and a conversation. Heat Check gives you a question, independent answers, and a compatibility score. The scoring changes everything because you can't perform for your partner when they can't see your screen.

Both partners answer the same question pack separately. Once you've both submitted, the app compares your answers and calculates a compatibility percentage. Think of it as would-you-rather with receipts.

Heat Check and Trivia both support real-time remote play. Each of you plays on your own phone from wherever you are.

They range from funny preferences to questions about desire, the kind of territory most couples skip entirely in conversation.

The count matters less than this: the app remembers which prompts you have already seen, so repeats are avoided.

Questions about each other. You take turns answering, your partner judges whether you got it right, and the first to the target score wins. Wrong guesses tend to start better conversations than correct ones.

For Heat Check, yes: it always runs on two phones linked by an invite code, even on the same couch. Trivia works on one shared phone in together mode, and for long distance both partners need Smush installed.

Soft, playful, hot and wild. Soft is the gentlest and wild the most intense. You choose one during onboarding and it sticks as your default.

Especially well. Heat Check is one of the best ways to learn what someone actually values without the pressure of a serious conversation about it.

Heat Check barely feels like a game. It reads more like a compatibility quiz. Most people who don't consider themselves gamers engage with it immediately.

Neither of you sees the other's answers until you both finish. Then the app compares them and scores a compatibility percentage, and you see the result together, which is where the real conversation starts.

That depends mostly on how much you talk between reveals, and the talking is the good part.

Designed for it. Pick soft or playful for a light evening, hot if you want to get into real territory, wild if the kids are at the grandparents'.
