Beat the clock

Scoring is brutally simple, which is why it hurts
- ▸ Your clock starts the moment the board reveals.
- ▸ Tap the stranger and the clock stops instantly.
- ▸ Accuse a real friend and it's +3 seconds, every single time.
- ▸ Final time = raw time + penalties. Lowest final time wins.
- ▸ Admin sets how many winners take prizes each season, so it's rarely just one.

Why it's weirdly addictive
You think you'd spot a stranger instantly. You would not.
Face blindness is real
Under time pressure, 50 small photos all start looking like someone you once sat next to at a wedding.
The board never sits still
Faces keep swapping places while the clock runs, so the stranger you almost spotted is somewhere else now.
Actual prizes
Cash drops, engraved trophies, hoodies. Multiple winners per season, set by the admin.
