Monster Match is a dating app for monsters. Players swipe through fifty-five profiles. After a handful of swipes the recommender stops surfacing whole categories of monster, and does not disclose that it has done so.
It was made with Miguel Perez. Alexander Berman and Camille Stochitch wrote it, Nolan Fabricius contributed major illustrations, and Gabe Donnay wrote the music. Mozilla supported it through its 2018 Creative Media Awards.
