Charade App

Charade is a conceptual company born from the fake dating trope of romantic comedies. This app is for those who are tired of their families asking about their romantic life, who need a date to their ex’s wedding or those who want to make everyone at their high school reunion jealous without the commitment. Charade pairs verified actors with patrons looking for a fake date and afterwards, patrons can rate & review the actors. Charade is not intended for use as a dating app and promotes that all ‘relationships’ created via the app are strictly professional.

This project is intended to poke fun at the fake dating trope and push it to an extreme degree. Inspired by early 2000s rom-coms and a degree of corporate professionalism, the result is a design that harnesses just enough softness to seem real while still maintaining the coldness of a contractual agreement.
