Friendly Challenges & Forfeits

Read full description

The friendly challenge between friends, without a penny at stake. Claiming something? Throw down the challenge. What's at stake is never money: it's a forfeit, agreed between you. A coffee, a round, a chore. Whatever you like. HOW IT WORKS • You throw down a challenge: what you claim, against whom, and the forfeit at stake • Your opponent accepts — or declines, nothing is imposed • At the deadline, you announce the result • A photo or video proof to close the argument • Not convinced? They can dispute, once WHAT KEEPS IT HONEST An announced result can be corrected for five minutes, then it is frozen. Nobody turns a loss into a win three days later. Your opponent can dispute once, and only once. You keep your result or you correct it — but pestering isn't an option. A finished challenge can no longer be deleted: it counts towards both players' records. YOUR RECORD Wins, losses, running streaks, head-to-head with each friend, a leaderboard between mates and badges to unlock. It all adds up on its own. YOUR FRIENDS, AND NOBODY ELSE You join by code or by QR. A challenge is visible only to the people in it. You choose who can challenge you, and you can block or report at any time. PREMIUM Unlimited challenges, full history, ready-made challenge ideas, advanced stats, themes and exclusive badges. The heart of the game stays free. NO REAL MONEY No stakes, no winnings, no transaction between players — ever. The forfeit is settled between you, in real life. Available in French, English, Spanish, Portuguese and German.
