Hey everyone! Long-time lurker, first real post.
I build a Love is Blind prediction game!
I’ve been making pools like this for my friends for years, starting with the Bachelor and Bachelorette, and more recently Love is Blind, just on a spreadsheet every season and we’d all make picks and roast each other in the group chat. I've always preferred (and built) pools where it wasn't just one batch of predictions at the beginning of the season, as a way to keep people engaged.
I recently started a new job that includes webapp development so I thought it would be a fun side project to help me learn the ropes.
It’s called Through the Wall (throughthewall.ca) and it’s free.
The basic idea: you make a pool for a season, invite your people (or join the big Global Pool with everyone), and between episodes you call what’s going to happen:
- Who gets engaged in the pods,
- Who survives (or sleeps together) on the retreat
- Who actually says yes at the altar
- Who's still together by the reunion
No spoilers either. Everybody plays on their own watch schedule, so if your friend watches the whole drop in one night and you’re three episodes behind, nothing gets ruined. You see results in the app when you've reached that point in the season.
S11 Boston starts tomorrow and that pool is open now. Older seasons are on there too (US 1–10 & UK 1–3), so you can test it out or catch up on any seasons you missed.
Fair warning, it’s just me building it in my spare time, so there might be some bugs. If anything’s broken or a rule seems dumb, send a message to 'support' (me) and I'll fix it.
Check it out! Thanks in advance.
