In the game of thrones, you win or you swipe left.
This autumn, HBO is launching Reigns: Game of Thrones, a game in which you get to make the momentous, high-stakes decision of a Westerosi leader in a Tinder-styled format in which you swipe right for yes and swipe left for no, all to the accompaniment of Ramin Djawadi’s gorgeous score.
The game will extend beyond the HBO® series and explore possible futures for key characters as seen through the fiery visions of Red Priestess, Melisandre. Players will alternate between playing as Jon Snow, Cersei Lannister, Tyrion Lannister, Daenerys Targaryen and Sansa Stark (among others) as they explore alternate routes and storylines the characters on the show never got to try. What would happen if Cersei decided to rebuild the Sept of Baelor, for example, or if Jaime Lannister married Sansa?
Swipe left or right to choose characters to claim the Iron Throne while carefully navigating the complex relationships and hostile factions of the Seven Kingdoms.
Reigns will launch on the App Store, Google Play, and Steam for $3.99 in October 2018. You can preorder the game and learn more at ReignsGame.com.

Reigns looked awesome as it was, GOT flavoured I’ll certainly be diving in.
Reigns and Reigns: Her Majesty are both fantastic games. I can’t wait for this!!
I must admit that when I saw the headline “HBO is releasing a Tinder-style Game of Thrones game”, my tired mind went someplace very different and I thought “Ummm … really?”. In my defense, with such a robust roster of attractive characters, such an interpretation wasn’t entirely crazy. But this narrative-based approach is far more practical. Looks fun!
I hope HBO post the first season 8 tease in about 4 weeks.
When the current season changes from Summer to Fall or Winter to Spring Down Under…
Jared,
That was my first impression too. “GoT Tinder? Really? ”
Meanwhile, the merchandising is getting out of hand.
Haha, true. Although I would still download the actual GoT Tinder. ;p
As it is, this’ll probably be the first time I pay to download an app…but the fact that it does cost a few bucks and picks up right where the show currently is, gives me more hope for it. Looks like fun, and the other two “Reigns” games are extremely well-reviewed, so this oughta be pretty cool.
So you mean I can make Jaime and Brienne marry and have beautiful tall children?
^ Or Tormund’s and Brienne’s great big world-conquering monsters?! 8-D x~}
THIS! So much this!!! 😀
(In reality… uhm, in the fiction of the books/show, I don’t expect Jaime to survive, but that’s why we have games and fanfic, lol.)
Can I make Brienne and Jaime get married, have blonde warrior babies, and make them rulers of the Seven Kingdoms? I need this so much!!!
