00:00This double dating app is making online dating less cringe.
00:05We're our best selves around our besties, so why not double date with them?
00:09That's the idea behind Plot Twist, the social platform reinventing dating by making first dates double dates.
00:15If you're exhausted by awkward coffee meetups and ghost-filled DMs, Plot Twist might restore your faith in apps.
00:22Founded by healthcare pros Julie Griggs and Danielle Dietzek, who bonded during the pandemic over how isolating dating had become,
00:28Plot Twist pairs friends to meet other duos.
00:32What began playfully is now a mission to make dating authentic and fun.
00:36We spoke with them about Ix, cuffing season, and their first Plot Twist wedding.
00:41Endless swiping and shallow chats make dating feel like a performative game.
00:45Plot Twist changes that by pairing singles with a friend to meet other duos for group hangs or double dates.
00:51A shared profile highlights your friendship dynamic, making meetups more comfortable, authentic, and far less pressure-filled.
00:58Plot Twist feels like a fun night out with a friend.
01:01Any romantic spark is simply a bonus.
01:04Instead of assigning pairs, the app matches two friends with another duo, creating a low-pressure space.
01:10The built-in emotional and physical safety of double dating is what makes the experience genuinely enjoyable.
01:16Cuffing season is real.
01:18Colder weather and holidays make singles crave comfort and low-effort plans.
01:22On Plot Twist, that means more cozy group hangs like trivia nights and hot toddy runs.
01:28It's not sudden commitment.
01:29It's simply easier to try something new than stay home during a social season.
01:34Plot Twist recreates real-life connection through shared experiences, mutual friends, and low-pressure hangs.
01:40Showing up as a pair makes everyone more relaxed and open.
01:43With limited swiping and plan-focused matching, two duos meet for fun activities.
01:49Sometimes sparks fly, sometimes new friends form.
01:52Either way, it feels natural and real again.
01:55Plot Twist has sparked everything from two best-friend duos entering long-term relationships to an upcoming wedding.
02:01But the best stories are the unexpected ones, like someone meeting their future partner not on the date, but through a friend at a follow-up hang.
02:10That's the magic.
02:11You never know the Plot Twist.
02:13Singles want more than romance.
02:15They want community.
02:16Real connections spark in shared spaces.
02:19Through friends, laughter, and ease, not endless swiping or overthinking.
02:24Plot Twist shows that when people show up authentically with a friend and focus on fun, chemistry flows naturally.
02:30Create space for friendship, and love follows in many forms.
02:35Plot Twist is nearing its Android launch, opening access to tens of thousands on the wait list.
02:40The platform is expanding from a New York niche to a national brand, with new city rollouts and major Q1 partnerships in fitness, skincare, beauty, and lifestyle, bringing exclusive perks as it enters its biggest chapter yet.
