Spot the Couple: From Viral Moment to Game

It was only a matter of time before this cringe-worthy event was immortalized in a game. During a Coldplay concert, the event crew zoomed in on the crowd looking for a cute couple to hype up the audience. Instead, they caught two tech executives seemingly sharing an illicit moment and quickly looking away once the spotlight hit them. This awkward scene quickly went viral, and now Jonathan Mann, known for his “song a day” series, has created Coldplay Canoodlers, a simple pixel-art game where you try to find the couple in the crowd.

Players move their mouse over a crowd, randomly placing the couple in different spots each round. Once you find them, the actual video clip plays and your score increases. Then the game resets, making it a fun, tabloid-style “Where’s Waldo?” challenge.

The People Behind the Scandal

The two caught on camera work at Astronomer, a data orchestration company valued at over a billion dollars that uses AI to streamline workflows. According to a blog post, Astronomer’s tech is even used by gaming companies to manage complex data processes.

Why Did This Moment Blow Up?

The drama caught so much attention because the two executives are married to other people, and the kiss cam moment was clearly visible. Chris Martin, Coldplay’s frontman, can be heard questioning if they were having an affair as they quickly separate when the camera focuses on them. Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that they work at a company described as having a “toxic” culture, which made the public reaction even more intense.

Interestingly, some of the backlash even spilled over onto LinkedIn, where the CEO had publicly praised one of the employees shortly after hiring her. This mix of scandal, workplace drama, and public exposure created a perfect storm for internet fascination.

AI-Powered and Quick to Create

Jonathan Mann explains the game was “‘vibe coded,”’ meaning he used AI to bring his vision to life without needing to write complex code himself. The game was developed in under 24 hours, and despite a few bugs, it works smoothly enough that many players might not even realize AI was involved.
