## What is Gurn?

Gurn is a runner you play with your face.

No taps. No swipes. You jump by opening your mouth, change lanes by tilting your head, duck by tucking your chin, and float by puffing your cheeks — all read live by the front camera. The faster it gets, the more contorted your face has to get.

And the clip is the point.

While you play, Gurn records a split-screen of your face next to the run and auto-edits the wreckage into a clip you can post in one tap — with the game's
sound or muted so you can drop your own. The runner is just the excuse to manufacture something worth sharing.

What you get
- A runner controlled entirely by your expressions — no buttons on screen
- One-tap capture and share: face + gameplay, auto-trimmed, ready for TikTok, Reels, or your camera roll
- A daily challenge everyone runs on the same seed — honest leaderboards
- Clip-visible cosmetics you earn as you play — trails, finales, and outfits
- A deadpan voice that calls your runs like nobody asked
- Or play with touch — a full touch-control mode, with its own leaderboards

The rules we won't break
- Your face stays yours. Face tracking runs entirely on your device — nothing biometric is ever stored or sent anywhere.
- You can't buy your way up the board. Nothing purchasable touches your score, speed, or rank. Cosmetics are cosmetics.
- Sharing is never gated. Every run exports in HD and posts in one tap; clips carry a small Gurn wordmark — that's how people find the game.

Free to play — every run exports in HD and shares free. The optional extras are all looks and laughs — cosmetics you can earn with coins or grab in a Starter Pack. Nothing you buy touches the leaderboard. No subscription, ever.

Bring a face. Leave with a clip.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.7 — 2026-07-18

Every day is its own game now.

The Daily grew a personality. Each day is a different challenge, scored its own way — bank airtime on Pit Day, hold the longest smile on Style Day, thread a wall of leap gates on Leap Day — and it plays like that day, top to bottom. Run it as many times as you like: your best counts, and your very first try still gets its moment.

• The day announces itself the second you start, and the run-over tells you exactly how you did on today's challenge.
• One bad run can't wreck your day anymore — practice until you nail it.
• Clips are tidier: a heads-up before your library fills, and a one-tap "clear everything but my keepers."
• Fixes: the clown nose ducks with the rest of your face, AirDropping a clip works, and you'll never start a run mysteriously stuck in a duck again.

Same face. A brand-new day, every day.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-07-17

Your face is in charge now.

Lane changes, jumps, and ducks always respond at full strength. POWER is now reserved for the big moves: Float, Shield, and Boost. Pull a meme face and the run drops into a one-second Spotlight — slow motion, coin pull, and bonus CHAOS without ever taking control away from you.

• Your Clips are the hub now. Challenge a friend straight from any clip — then watch who's been chasing your run, right on the clip that started it.
• Sharing is faster and lands with a proper preview card and your score.
• New here? Start with a quick Tutorial, or just jump right in.
• Shorter breathers keep the run moving. Full face recalibration only returns when it is actually useful.
• CHAIN, CHAOS, and POWER now say exactly what they mean — with your peak CHAOS waiting on the run-over card.

Same face. Less friction. More chaos.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-07-16

Challenge a friend to beat your run.

Finish a run, hit Challenge a Friend, and send it off. They play your EXACT
course — same seed, same obstacles — and try to top your score. Beat theirs
back and it turns into a chain: one run passed around, everyone pulling faces
at the same gauntlet.

• Straight from Messages. The Gurn iMessage app drops a "beat my run" card into
  the chat — with a set of gurn-face stickers for the group thread.
• Tap a friend's link and it opens right to the score you're chasing.
• Sign in with Apple, if you want, to save your coins and unlocked gear and get
  them back on your other devices. It's optional, and they never expire.
• Smoother sharing: no more doubled audio when you tap Share, and your clips
  save with clean names now.

Still all cosmetic, still ridiculous. Go put a friend on the spot.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-07-15

The Daily is a real challenge now — and you can actually finish it.

Every day is a set gauntlet, same course for everyone. Clear the last stage and you WIN — a victory dance, straight into your clip. No more running forever; now there's a finish line to chase.

• Snacks. Tongue-grab roadside food to win a heart back — a cushion for the rough patches, and the Daily always keeps one within reach.
• Fewer cheap deaths. A stage now lets you clear its last obstacle before the breather, so you never resume face-first into one — and the old phantom hits (resuming over a pit, a hurdle that only caught your toes) are gone.

Go beat today's Daily.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-07-14

Clips that used to slip away now save.

If a run ever ended on "couldn't prepare the clip" and then never turned up — that's fixed. Long runs, runs you got interrupted in the middle of, all of it.

• Set the phone down mid-run? Gurn now pauses the recording while it can't see your face and picks back up when you're back — no dead air in the clip, and no freezing on the death screen after a long wait.
• You choose how much room your clips get. Settings → Clip storage, from 512 MB to 5 GB. Gurn keeps the newest, always keeps your best and your starred ones, and trims the rest.
• The crown goes to your actual best run now — beat your record and it moves.
• Fairer runs: no phantom hit resuming over a pit or a zap gate, the hurdle catches your whole jump, and your shades quit floating in front of blocks.
• A little more character: your runner leans into the turns now.

Nothing here touches your score. You'll still look ridiculous — the clip proving it is just a lot harder to lose now.
