## What is Gawkin?

First to blink loses.

Gawkin is the world's first LIVE staring contest — real 1v1 video
stare-downs with an honest referee: your own phone judges your own
eyes with Face ID precision, so nobody can cheat you.

You've seen the staring-contest challenge everywhere. This is the
real thing — a live opponent, a fair ref, and a clip of both faces
the moment somebody cracks.

Press BEGIN. Get matched for a live duel. 3… 2… 1… STARE.

THE HONEST REFEREE
• Blink detection runs entirely on YOUR device with the TrueDepth camera
• Each phone judges its own player — nobody can cheat you
• Eyes-closed-at-start = instant loss. Look away? That's a blink.

LIVE AND LOUD
• See your opponent over live video while you battle
• Talk trash on voice chat or fire off quick messages
• Works in the dark — your screen becomes a fill light

RUN IT BACK
• Best-of-3 duels and instant rematch to settle the score
• Skip a no-show and get matched with someone new
• Save match clips — only when BOTH players agree to record

PROVE IT
• Global leaderboards: total stare time and matches won
• Solo Stare: train against the clock, beat your best
• Eye Gym: a gaze-controlled target game to sharpen your stare
• Challenge friends directly with a room code or a friend invite

GAWKIN PRO (optional monthly subscription)
• No ads, best-of-3 duels, instant rematch, and post-match chat
• Full-length match clips, saved straight to your device
• Auto-renews monthly until cancelled in Settings

Gems are an optional in-app currency for tipping the winner or gifting
friends. They're for fun — never cashable.

Requires an iPhone with Face ID (TrueDepth camera). A staring contest
needs two of you — bring a rival.
