E27 – Dec 7 – Singapore dating app Paktor, which is owned by M17 Entertainment, has released a new feature that will allow users to invite friends to help them pick the right match. Called Matchmaker, the mini-game allows existing Paktor users to invite other Paktor users or non-users to swipe on profiles with them. A minimum of three players – including the host – is required to initiate the game. All players are given 30 profiles to swipe and 10 seconds to make their decisions on each profile. At the end of the game, the matchmaker with the most number of swipes that corresponds with the host's swipes will be crowned the best matchmaker. The matchmakers will then send a randomised complimentary gift to that profile and break the ice. The recipient can then chose to respond to the host. Matchmakers can also track the user's progress with the match.
