Your whole drawing date, in one place
From your first hello to the reveal
PaintYourDate brings high-quality video and audio together with a free online drawing game for couples. Chat face to face while you paint each other, with your call beside the canvas. When you're both ready, a shared countdown reveals your portraits at the same moment, so you can watch each other's reaction.
It's a long-distance date night you can enjoy from start to finish in your browser. Afterwards, you can turn your drawings into mugs or posters to keep. Those extras are optional and priced separately; the game and call are free.
More long-distance date ideasAlready planning a date on FaceTime or Zoom?
FaceTime and WhatsApp are familiar places to catch up. You might use Zoom, Discord, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams for your calls instead. But doing an activity together can get a bit awkward when your call is in one app and your drawing is in another. Switching windows to see your partner can interrupt things, especially when you want to catch their reaction to the finished portrait.
PaintYourDate keeps your video call beside the drawing canvas and reveals your portraits together. There's no separate call to set up or screen to share. Create a room and send your partner the invite link. They can join as a guest without signing up.
Games for FaceTime and other video callsThe whole game is free
The full drawing game is free, including the video call. Sign up to create a room, then invite your partner to join as a guest.

A few things you might be wondering
How do I play the paint your partner challenge?
Sign up for free to create a room, then send your partner the invite link. They can join without an account. Give yourselves five to ten minutes to draw each other. When you both tap ready, a countdown reveals your portraits together.
Is PaintYourDate really free?
Yes, the drawing game is free. The person creating the room needs a free account, but their guest does not. After the reveal, you can choose to buy a print or mug of your portrait. Those are optional and priced separately.
Can long distance couples play together?
Yes. Join the same game using your invite link, wherever you both are. You can use the built-in video to see each other while you draw, or keep your usual call going on another device.
What devices does it work on?
You can play in a modern browser on your phone, tablet or computer. A larger screen gives you more room to draw, but you can have a go with your finger on a phone too.
Do I need to be good at drawing?
Not at all. A wonky portrait can be just as enjoyable as a careful likeness. Give it a go and see what your partner makes of it.
