Icebreaker Case Study
Many dating apps cater to a variety of different users, but ultimately the goal is to provide potential canidates for users that lead to a successful match progressing to a happy relationship. Each app has their own unique approach, feature, and formula that help users find the right person for them.
Rather than populating potential matches in the same city, a certain distance or by the a list of preferences; icebreaker is a dating app that is based on the landmarks near you. Users are still allowed to see various stories and post from other users however they are not allowed to interact with the user unless they share the same landmark. Landmarks include malls, hotels, or tourist attractions.

There are have been many success stories with dating apps where users have matched, spoke, and went on a date with only one user and hit it off, however for most users this is not the case. Many are looking for a relationship, but end up running into visitors, spam users, unactive accounts, etc. Below are a list of problems that users encounter.

The top four problems that many users face are dishonesty, spam users, unaligned interest and slow responders. Filtering through a list of potential options can be tedious, and can be even more exhausting when exploring a list with uncompatible matches.

I like the concept, I would like options of things to do rather than just locations to go to for the icebreaker option.
I think a preference options would be cool, because then I could filter out who isn’t ideal for me.
I like the icebreaker feature because it shows both parties are interested in eachother enough to invest time and money.
I love the colors and I love the concept. I just feel uncomfortable sharing my precise location. Can we make it more vague?
I would create it to where we could post things that were doing. Kind of like reddit, but for dating instead.
This is awesome! There have been many times where I’ve matched with people on other sites and we never meet, or they respond too slow and then I don’t even remember them. I just wish we could send messages to each other before the ice breaker.
Summary: When users login, they can check-in to landmarks and
are allowed to interact in those posts / chat rooms assigned to the landmarks near the user.
They could also choose to browse which allows the user access to the chatrooms however won’t
be able to participate. Once they are in a chatroom, they are allowed to view a list of
profiles on the top. They can choose to show interest or remove them off their list. They
can always view a profile from someone’s post as well. When replying to someone’s post, you
can either make it public or private (allowing only the creator of the post to view).
When two users show interest via heart, a match is formed where an icebreaker can be sent by
either party. Once the user decides which icebreaker he’d like to send, the other party can
refuse or accept. If the other party refuses, they can choose why or a different icebreaker.
Once the icebreaker is agreed, the location will be released to both parties with the QR
code sent to the user who sent the icebreaker. When both parties meet, the QR code can be
given the facility of choice. After an icebreaker is created, this will allow both users to
now message eachother without being in the same landmark.
