The four games

Each one is quick, a little playful, and quietly tells you something about the other person.

Daily puzzle
Sprout Garden
A new logic garden every day, the same board for both of you. Plant one sprout in every row, column and coloured bed, without any two touching. When you've both solved it, you get a question to talk about in the chat.
Doodles
Draw and guess
You get a random picture to draw (a cat, a bicycle, a landscape), with one “Show another” per turn. Your crush watches your strokes appear and spells the answer with letter tiles. Bad drawings are half the fun.
Stories
Two truths and a lie
Write three things about yourself and mark the one that isn't true. Your crush picks the lie, then asks about one of the others in the chat. It's the easiest way to share stories you'd never fit in a bio.
Quick picks
This or That
Ten picks between two choices. When you've both played, your answers appear side by side and every match gets a heart, so you can see at a glance how much you have in common.

How it works

Invite your crush
Add their email. They get an anonymous note that someone from their circle added them.
They join and look around
They see your anonymous profile, make their own, and we email you to say they've joined.
Ask to play
Tap “Ready to play”. Games open the moment your crush taps “I'm comfortable to play”.
Take turns
Pick any game and play your turn. We let them know a new game is waiting, without saying who you are.

Why games beat small talk

“Hi, how was your day?” only goes so far. A silly drawing, a surprising lie or a shared answer in This or That gives you both something real to react to, and something to laugh about together.

Games also take the pressure off. You don’t have to plan the perfect message, because the game sets the topic. Each result is a ready-made conversation starter for the chat.

Anonymous until you both choose

You play as your anonymous profiles, so your crush gets to know your humour and your taste before they know your name. Before a reveal, the app simply says “Your crush started a game” or “A new game is waiting for you”.

When it feels right, your crush can ask for a reveal, and you decide whether to show your name and photos. Learn more about how Crushsprout works.

Play at your own pace

There’s no need to be online at the same time. Take your turn when you have a minute, and pick up where you left off later. Sprout Garden brings a new board every day, so there’s always a small reason to come back.

Nothing is a contest. Puzzle times are never compared or shared: the only result is “You both solved the garden”, because the point is to get closer, not to win.

Private by design

Your statements, drawings and picks are end-to-end encrypted, just like your chat, and each disappears once it’s been seen, on the same timer as your messages. What stays is a small, friendly record of what happened, such as “You spotted their lie” or “You matched on 7 of 10”.

The person you invited decides when games open and can turn them off at any time. Everything else about safety and privacy applies to games too.

Free, with no card needed.
Works in your web browser on any phone or computer.
Only the two of you can ever see your game.

Questions people ask

What are good games to play with your crush online?

Games that make you talk work best. On Crushsprout you can play a daily garden logic puzzle together, draw and guess, two truths and a lie, and This or That, all anonymously, and each one leads into a conversation.

Are the games free?

Yes. Every game, and every other feature on Crushsprout, is free for everyone, with no card needed.

Will my crush know it's me?

Not unless you choose to reveal. You play as your anonymous profiles, and your name and photos stay hidden until you decide to show them.

Do we need to be online at the same time?

No. You take turns, so each of you plays whenever you have a minute. We let the other person know when a new game is waiting.

What happens to our answers and drawings?

They're end-to-end encrypted and disappear once they've been seen. Only a simple outcome stays, such as “They guessed your drawing: bicycle” or “You matched on 7 of 10”.

Which game should we start with?

This or That is the easiest opener: ten quick picks, and the matching answers give you plenty to chat about. Two truths and a lie works well once you're comfortable sharing a little more.
