Swipe left or swipe right? A new series based on the popular dating app explores it all.
Swipe Night follows four friends – including the user in a first-person, starring role – on their journey to the end of the world after discovering there’s three hours left to live. It’s shot entirely in first person, so the member is placed squarely in the middle of the storyline, making each of its four episodes a wild ride of self-discovery and new connections. As the story unfolds, members will face moral dilemmas and practical choices, as they decide what happens to them next. Their choices dictate more than just the story; they also impact who they match with and what they will chat about once the story ends.
