That curiosity started to become a reality when the two began to do research on the different dating apps and particularly, double-dating apps. It turns out that the idea generated a bit of positive feedback, which left the pair curious if they could take it one step further. They felt like the dating scene was not fun, so they decided to make a shared dating profile on one of the very popular dating apps as a joke. The idea originated while Griggs and Dietzek were living together in New York after meeting as sorority sisters at Penn State.
Unlike other dating apps, Fourplay gives pairs of single friends a chance to team up and match with other pairs of singles, making first dates less awkward and as Griggs and Dietzek hope, safer.
Penn State alumnae Julie Griggs and Danielle Dietzek are hoping to change the dating scene with their new app, Fourplay.
