The challenge

Most couples apps are written for other cultures. Their questions skip the in-laws, the dowry, faith or money in a West African household, and their prices assume a credit card. Minanté starts from the conversations couples here actually need to have.

What we built

Themed collections of cards and a set of games for two, written for that context. One partner can answer a sealed card and the other reveals it later, together or apart. Minanté runs today as a mobile-first web app that works offline, with a native app for iOS and Android under way.

Inside the product

  1. 01

    Collections, not a random deck

    From first steps to “are we ready for marriage?”, each collection is a path of questions on one theme.

  2. 02

    Games played as two

    Would you rather, guess my answer, which of us two: each partner answers alone, and the app reveals both answers together.

  3. 03

    One subscription, two partners

    Minanté+ covers both partners and is priced in CFA francs.

  4. 04

    Works without a connection

    A progressive web app that keeps working offline, with native iOS and Android apps in development.
