Most of the dateables in Date Everything are pretty easy to find, but one or two of them require a bit of out-of-the-box thinking. This is especially true of Dateable 99, Doug, who is the physical embodiment of existential dread.

How to Meet Doug in Date Everything (Dateable 98 Location)

To meet Doug, players will need to stare at the yellow wall on the back of the staircase for thirty seconds while wearing the Dateviators. He'll show up automatically after thirty seconds and will proceed to belittle the player at every chance he gets. There's not much to be gleaned from this first conversation, although he mentions that he'll try to come up with some activities that he and the player can do together, hinting that there may be fun to be had during future meetings.

How to Solve Doug's Sudoku Puzzle in Date Everything

If players speak with Doug a second time, he'll invite them to play a game of Sudoku. However, rather than showing them the puzzle, he'll read out the numbers row by row and forbid players from writing anything down. Of course, nothing is stopping you from doing so. In fact, we went ahead and created a Sudoku Pad project so that you can attempt to solve the puzzle for yourself. Alternatively, you can scroll down the page a little more to find the answers to Doug's Sudoku puzzle right away.

Doug will ask for the following digits...

  1. What's the bottom right number? (2)
  2. Cool. And the top left number? (3)
  3. And now what's in the 4th over from the left and 4th going up from the bottom? (4)
  4. Oh nice. And the 8th one from the left and 7th one from the bottom? (3)

After completing the grid, players will find that the answers to Doug's Sudoku puzzle are 2, 3, 4, and 3.

How to Romance Doug in Date Everything

As with most of the dateables in Date Everything, getting Doug to hate you is relatively simple, but achieving a positive outcome can take time. Players should stand up for themselves rather than letting Doug walk all over them, although they should aim to do so in a respectful way, being sure not to cross the line between sassy quips and straight-up insulting him. Eventually, players will find themselves discussing a Vidbucket video with Doug, at which point, they should call him pathetic. After that, he'll start to open up a bit more, and players will get the option to start a romantic relationship with him.
