Snapshot is a social game for friends that turns everyday moments into a competition. Create a private group, start a game, and each player will secretly receive a target and a task. Your goal is to catch your target completing the task without them realizing what you're doing. When the moment happens, capture it using the in-app dual camera and submit the photo as proof. But be careful — someone else in the group is targeting you too. Once a photo is submitted, the group votes to confirm the catch. Players earn points for catching their target and avoiding getting caught themselves. At the end of the game, the leaderboard reveals who played the best. Snapshot is designed for small groups of friends and works great at school, sports events, trips, or parties. Features: • Private invite-only groups • Secret targets and tasks • Dual-camera photo proof • Group voting to confirm catches • Points and leaderboard tracking Stay alert, stay stealthy, and try not to get caught.
