The games are not the point — they are the excuse. The easiest way to talk to a stranger is to play something with them first.
The Ludo you know, with people near you
Four players, four pieces, one die. The rules are the ones you already know, which is exactly why it is the best first game with a stranger: nobody has to learn anything before the conversation starts.

Six questions, fifteen seconds, someone answering beside you
Two players at once — the same question, the same clock. At the end you do not only learn who won; you learn what they know and how they think, which is the thing an empty message never tells you.

A list tells you who exists. A game tells you who somebody is — patient or hasty, gracious in a win, funny in a loss. Ten minutes of Ludo says more about a person than ten messages that start with «hi».
With your mobile number. Games are the one thing here that needs an account.
Ludo or Quiz. You do not need to bring an opponent; the server finds one.
After a match you can message whoever you played. That is the whole idea.
The server picks your opponent, not you. You cannot request one, and nobody can arrange to keep landing against you. Leaving mid-match is a loss, and doing it repeatedly costs you matches.
No game on YouPlanet is played for money. Coins and diamonds are spent inside the app on items and cosmetics, and they never convert back to cash. There is no withdrawal and no cash prize.
