How It Works

Installing the app

1. Get Snapshot Play from the App Store.
2. Read the EULA.
3. Make an account with your name, email, phone number and a password. Your phone number is how you sign in. Players must be 13 or older.
4. Take a face photo, the last step of making an account, so the other players know who to look for.

Hosting a game

1. Tap Host a game and pick Snapshot Capture.
2. Name the game, and choose whether it starts when you tap Start or at a set time.
3. Share the game code, the invite link or the QR code with the people you want to play.
4. When everyone is in, start the game and get snapping!

Hosting a game uses a host token, and new accounts start with three.

Joining a game

1. Tap the invite link you were sent, or open Snapshot Play and type the game code.
2. Join as a player, or join to watch if you would rather not play.
3. Wait in the lobby until the host starts the game.

Basic Gameplay

Snapshot Capture assigns each player a target, taking a selfie with that target in the background will capture them. Capturing a player transfers their target to the captor. The game ends when one player remains.

When it ends, the game keeps an album of its snapshots and a short recap to watch together.
