APPily Ever After

Image

Over lunch, Justin told me about this app he has on his phone that apparently gives him a free app every day based on what they think he "needs."

"So what did you need today?" I asked, skeptical.

"It's this game where you catch kittens with a slice of bread. They fight each other and you gain more kitten fighters by smacking their face with bread."

Whaaaat?

"And they thought you just had to have this?"

Then it hits me: maybe they should make marriage-simulated games; I think it may just subconsciously sink in while they're battling felines with carbs.

  • Tide Time: Take as many virtual clothes as you can and stuff them into the washing machine until it reaches full capacity. If the rotating device can not complete a full circle, you win.



  • Project Dumbway with Friends: You and your spouse opponent have 30 seconds to put together the most ridiculous outfit to take the dog out in at 6 a.m. And the trophy goes to the man in the Victoria's Secret pink robe and work boots.



  • Memory Mania: Spouse hears 10 stories. Must recount one detail from two of them for a victory.



  • Cry Me a River: A virtual woman fills the screen and is hysterically crying. You have three chances to guess why and one chance to get her to stop.



  • Pizza Parlor: If you can eat your half of the pizza before your virtual wife finishes hers, you get 100 tokens. At the 1000 token level, she will go on a diet and you win.


The marriage conference market has been capitalized on. The self-help books fill up half of Barnes & Noble. But has anyone really tried to reach men where they like to reside? I'll have to do some more research, but I like to think outside XBOX (you're so very welcome for that genius pun).
