Five kinds of quizzes

Something new,
every day.

  • Who's more likely to

    “Fall asleep during a movie”

    Pick you or your partner for each one.

  • Guess my answer

    “My ideal Sunday morning”

    Answer for yourself, then guess what your partner said.

  • This or that

    “Night in or night out?”

    Quick picks. See every one you agree on.

  • On the same wavelength

    “How much do you love surprises?”

    Slide to where you are. Within one point is a match.

  • Deep talks

    “Lately I feel most connected to you when…”

    Pick what feels true, then talk about it together.

Your apps stay on your phone

River never locks your whole phone.

  • Optional. River works without app blocking.
  • Private to you. Your partner never sees which apps you pick.
  • No alerts. Stopping blocking doesn't notify anyone.

How does River work day to day?

Every day you both get the same 2-minute quiz and one small plan, like phones away at dinner. Quiz answers unlock once you've both finished, and the plan is on once you've both said yes.

What kinds of quizzes are there?

Five kinds: Who's more likely to, Guess my answer, This or that, On the same wavelength and Deep talks. A new one arrives every day, and you can play the rest any time.

Do we both need River?

Yes. River is made for two. One of you invites the other with a code. You can take your first quiz before your partner joins, and your answers unlock once they do.

How does app blocking work?

It's optional. If you turn it on, River uses Apple's Screen Time to block apps you pick on your own iPhone during time you've set aside together. Your partner never sees which apps you pick, and stopping doesn't notify anyone.

What counts toward our streak?

Your streak is shared. A day counts when you both finish the quiz or both check in on the day's plan. Time spent together never counts against you.
