## What is tater?

tater is a social game where you pass a virtual potato between friends and watch the chain grow.
here's how it works: create a potato, pass it to a friend, and they pass it to someone else. every pass adds to the chain — but if someone holds it too long, the potato expires and the chain dies. keep it moving.
watch your potato travel across cities on the map. see how far it goes. compete on leaderboards for the longest chain.
every day you get a daily drop — a free potato to start a new chain. keep your streak alive for bonus rewards.
share magic links to pass potatoes to anyone, even people who aren't on the app yet. one tap and they're in the chain.

features:
- pass potatoes to friends with photos and captions
- watch chains grow across the map in real time
- see random mutual connections you didn't know you had
- daily drops with streak bonuses
- leaderboards and stats
- magic links to bring new people into the chain
- revive dead chains with sprouts from the community

the tater is hot. pass it on.
