How Cord & Flame works

Cord & Flame is a five-minute game you play together at the end of the day. Each night has a few cards: a question to answer privately, something to guess about each other, a little dare, a moment to laugh, and something kind to finish with. Then you put the phone down.

A night, step by step

  1. Open tonight's night together.
  2. Pass the phone, or play on two phones.
  3. Answer, guess, laugh and do the small things the cards ask.
  4. Finish with a goodnight card, and an extra round if you want more.

Sweet, playful or bold

Many nights let you choose the mood. Sweet keeps things tender and simple. Playful adds fun and flirting. Bold turns up the romance, always tasteful, always with a no-touch option. You choose together, every night.

A gentle pace for harder seasons

Before Night 1, each of you answers three private questions. If things feel far apart, Cord & Flame slows down: lighter questions, no romance until you both say you are ready, and a gentle nudge toward support if you need it. It is a game, not counselling.

Tired tonight?

Turn on Short night and you will be done in about three minutes. On nights with more energy, extra fun cards are there for you.

Private by design

Nothing you type, choose or say is ever saved or sent to us. On two phones, your answers travel encrypted between your two phones only. There are no ads and we never sell data.
