As dating app Tinder and its parent company Match explore the future of personal connection through apps, it’s interesting to see what sort of ideas it tested but later discarded. One such experiment was something called “Tinder Mixer,” which had briefly offered Tinder users a way to join group video chats with up to eight people, and “play games” with others nearby.

The feature was tested for a short period of time last year in New Zealand, we understand, but will not be launching.
