Honeymoon Mode

Games calibrated for couples still figuring each other out. Mild spice reveals what you haven't asked yet. Higher levels get to what you haven't tried.

Fantasy Match

Both of you swipe on desires separately. The app reveals only mutual matches. A year into marriage, the things you discover here will surprise you.

Daily Desire

One intimate prompt delivered every morning. When you're still building routines together, it's the nudge that keeps physical connection from becoming an afterthought.

Heat Check: Learn What You Skipped During the Wedding Planning

Wedding planning consumes everything. For months, your deepest conversations were about seating charts and vendor deposits. Heat Check gives you the conversations you postponed. Both partners answer the same question pack separately, then see a compatibility score with a full breakdown. Topics cover desire, boundaries, comfort zones, and the small preferences that shape a physical relationship. Most newlyweds assume they know all of this already. The scores usually prove otherwise. That gap between assumption and reality is where the best years of a marriage actually get built.

Frequently Asked Questions

Party games are built for an audience. Smush is built for two people alone in a room with nowhere to hide behind a punchline. The questions go where party games can't.

The games work at any stage. But the first year of marriage has a specific mix of confidence and blind spots that makes Heat Check and Fantasy Match especially revealing.

You set the level before each round. Mild is flirty and curious. Medium gets into desires you probably haven't voiced. Wild is for the night you open a bottle of wine and decide to really play.

Together-mode games work on one device with no internet needed. Long-distance modes require a connection, but you won't need those if you're in the same hotel room.

Mild spice level is closer to a deep conversation than anything athletic. Most couples who describe themselves as not adventurous just haven't had the right prompt at the right moment.

Both partners swipe independently. If one says yes and the other doesn't, nobody ever knows. The app only reveals mutual matches. Rejection is structurally impossible.

Swipes, answers, and game results stay on your devices. Smush doesn't store intimate data on servers. Your first year of marriage stays between the two of you.

A compatibility quiz where both partners answer separately, then see where you align and where you don't. Think of it as a tune-up for the assumptions you've been running on.

No. Therapy addresses conflict and dysfunction. Smush addresses the Tuesday night when you're both on the couch and one of you says, "We should do something" and neither of you does.

Daily Desire gives you something every morning. For the bigger games, once or twice a week keeps things moving without turning it into homework.

Fantasy Match and Heat Check let the quieter person participate fully without performing on the spot. The app creates space for honesty without requiring volume.
