Five Dates is a Adventure/Casual/Entertainment game from Wales Interactive Limited, first launched in 14th February 2021.
It’s rated 12+ and currently has 225+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Five Dates Stand Out
Vinny, a millennial from London, joins a dating app for the first time while living in lockdown. With five potential female matches, Vinny must pluck up the courage to video date with wildly different personalities, starring Mandip Gill (Doctor Who) and Georgia Hirst (Vikings).
The viewer’s choices will define Vinny’s interactions with each date and their interest in seeing him again. Amidst a branching, multi-directional chain of conversation topics and deep-dive questions, Vinny is faced with digital game dates, awkward scenarios and unexpected truths.
Five Dates is an exploration of the unpredictable modern dating experience, which follows an average single man as he navigates the world of digital dating. Through his journey, the decisions the viewer makes for him will challenge their own conceptions of attraction and compatibility.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This game is very realistic that we would not call it a game. But a dating simulation and it like its sequel, are very good for shaking the dust off and getting back out there and dating.
It keeps asking to buy the game even though we have bought it, it wont let us play the full game.
We enjoyed the game but we feel like it should have more options like a girl going on a date with the three guys and like lgbtq+ options too we just feel a lot more people would enjoy the game way more.
We were enjoying the story and looking forward to continuing so we purchased the full game. When we went back to continue, it kept asking us to purchase after we already did. Bummer.
Cant get past the entire game , even after paying , it like stuck on a the same white screen.
There could definitely be more inclusivity with LGBTQ+ options and more additional date options but just as itself the game is a fine play through. We only played through one date and it was nice. Would recommend if you have the money and want to play these sorts of games.
Downloaded the game but theres literally no sound. The volume is high on both the game and our phone. Thought it was our phone but no. Its the actual game itself. Cant even play it at this point.
You have to pay to play the rest of the game.
We really like the game the only thing we have complain is we wanted more maybe a new game or more updates that would be amazing overall great gam :).
Should be 17+ according to the developers website.
The acting and direction is great, not cheesy at all. We loved it and while we will agree with other reviewers that it can be a bit repetitive when re-doing the story, Im glad there is an option to skip through parts you have already done.
As someone whos never played an interactive game like this, It was Relatable charming, and hilarious. Five Dates has so much replay ability and entertainment.
Dont get us wrong we enjoyed the game and all the story it has. However, we really wish it had more than 5 dates. It get repetitive because you only have 5 dates to go to and the dates are too short and some parts is just boring. Overalls review: Id say its not worth it rn to buy the full game because its too short, but if you want to experience online dating without actually going on an online date then feel free and live your life and buy it.
Great game but wish there were more girls and a little more sexy situations.
It has potential to be a really good interactive game but unfortunately due to its limitation and how short the actual game play is it leaves you wanting do much more.
No matter what we did, the game never had any sound. Volume was all the way up in the app and in our phone. Tried restarting the game multiple times. Tried reinstalling the game. Nothing worked.
Really really addictived. We really like this game. The stories is amazing, always have a plot twist in every characters. The acting from the each characters so good. We really need the stories of each characters in season 2 for they 1st meet after lockdown maybe. Or maybe a new characters. We really really love and enjoy this game for the truth. We will buy the full version again if you update with a new seasons or a new characters.
We loved this! It was a short game, but it was entertaining, and the actors put on amazing performances.
Its a creative game idea. But we feel awkward llaying it.. Seeing Bunnys awkward face.
We had no idea you had to pay to play this game fully. It was fun and an interesting concept to be able to play the guy in a dating world, only downside is advertising it as a free game but then requiring payment to see how it plays out.
Soo you advertise this game as free, but after you complete the first part, you have to pay to be able to play the rest of the game? So misleading. Dont download this unless youre willing to pay $5.99 to play the full thing. Waste of time if youre not paying.
MILD SPOILERS Beautiful, true-to-life story and characters. Saffron is our favorite, because our backstory is really similar. We really related to her with her struggle. Our other favorite is Grace, because she reminds us of our best friend. We wanted to like Shaina, but we had him pick what we knew would be the opposite of her views, and she was so rude about it. Like really mean. We agreed with her at the heart of what she said, but… It felt out of character, actually.
Pls Make a part two with the same person and if you can add the model Girl in the 2 part of the game we would like to meet her again btw love the game we know we said it all ready but just fantastic game thank you who ever made it.
Super relaxing and fun interactive short film. The actors are awesome performers that were really easy to relate to. The actor who played Vinny seems like a dude youd want to hangout with in real life, and the chemistry between himself and the other actors felt real. The script was pretty well written, too. Its important to know going in that you wont get the full experience unless you pay ($5.99) for the full game. The only con is that a play through lasts about an hour. And now that Ive played through it once, Im not interested in another. So its $5.99 for an hour or so of entertainment. It was worth it for us, but we know it wont be for everyone. Shoutout to the actress who played Shaina! You totally won our Vinny (and us) over.
Ive got to be honest, we feel like a melt playing this in general… But its enjoyable! The characters are fun and its helping cure quarantine boredom… However, Ive done the dinner date six times over now and still havent made it through due to crashing. Soooo frustrating.
Occasionally through the first date, the game will crash. There is no periodic saving throughout the date, like every time you choose an option it should save. The crash will then force you to restart the date from the beginning making it impossible to finish if it keeps crashing.
We cant hear them talk we try fixing it but nothing happen.
Fix the problem where the game crashes mid way through the date. Besides that great game but the crashing makes it unplayable.
The game itself was pretty good which is why it is getting 2 stars, but the sound was bugged and so we couldnt listen without our AirPods. Also, you get through part of the game and then it tells you you have to pay so we didnt even get to know what happened.
We really love your game but can you maybe lower the price to continue the game.
Love the game! So fun and realistic.
We enjoyed this so much! It has so many choices and we though real people playing these parts was awesome! Would love to play from perhaps a girls perspective? And maybe some LGBTQ+ relationships? Coming from a trans man :).
