Levels, which encourages both streamers and viewers to increase usage to unlock features by leveling up, is expected to launch on MeetMe and Skout later summer. Levels should increase engagement of the apps. Others such as the Dating Game, which is a nightly speed dating game, is also on track for lunch in 2H19, and should also increase app engagement.
