Pandora’s box is a game where you write questions anonymously and then take turns reading and answering them. We love this game since it breaks the ice and lets you ask difficult questions without taking the heat for it… We (three 19 year olds from Sweden) created this app to make the game quicker and 100% anonymous. If you try it you won’t be disappointed :) https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

About

Dared

Features
Read full description

Dared is the ultimate party game that turns any gathering into instant chaos and laughter. Pick a room code, get your friends on their phones, and spend 10 fast rounds voting on who in the group fits the wild prompt. Short, social, and full of real reactions — perfect for house parties, nights in, and awkward icebreakers. How it works 1. Host creates a private room and shares the code. 2. Friends join from their phones (no account required). Take a quick selfie that gets shown during the game and is deleted afterwards. 3. Play 10 rounds of rapid prompts. Everyone votes on who fits the prompt best. Results reveal in real time. Special observation rounds appear on rounds 3, 6 and 9 (two-player polls — everyone votes between two randomly chosen players). Core features • Fast setup: create a room and invite friends in seconds — start a full game in under a minute. • Group voting: social prompts that always point to someone in the room — choose the person who fits the prompt and watch the results live. • Categories for every vibe: Family Friendly, Mixed, Naughty, and 18+ (adult) packs so you can pick how wild the night gets. • Ephemeral selfies: circular selfie avatar for each player that appears during the game and is deleted automatically after the game ends. We never keep your photos long-term. • Accessible scoreboard: round results display clear percentage bars and a final leaderboard showing who collected the most votes. Ties are handled gracefully — each tied player scores a point and the round declares “It’s a draw!”. • Smooth, iOS-native animations and haptics: satisfying taps, a single haptic at winner reveal, and buttery confetti. • Simple UX: 20-second per-question timer with visible countdown and light haptic pulses in the last 5 seconds to keep the pace exciting. Privacy & safety • Selfies are ephemeral: photos are used only for the current game and are deleted from our servers after the session ends. • Minimal permissions: camera access is requested only to take optional selfies; nothing is posted without your explicit share action. • Full privacy policy and support are available from the app (and on our website). Why people play Dared • It’s an instant party starter — no tedious setup, just laughs. • Real reactions create shareable moments ideal for short-form video. • Flexible categories let you tailor the experience from family-friendly to seriously wild. • Lightweight gameplay that’s easy to teach and hard to forget. Ready to play? Download Dared and try a game tonight — invite friends, vote, reveal, and find out who in your group gets the most votes. Perfect for parties, hangouts, and those awkward friend moments that turn into the best stories. Support / Privacy Questions or issues? Email playdared@gmail.com.
