SnapStreak

Inspiration

Snapchat streaks are social currency. We wanted to turn streaks into playful, competitive mini-games you can challenge friends with—right inside chat.

What it does

SnapStreak Duel is a turn-based Snapchat game where friends compete in fast mini-challenges to protect or steal streak points. Each round takes seconds, but keeps players coming back daily.

How we built it

Built in Lens Studio using the Turn Based Component, persistent storage, and a custom 2D game loop written in JavaScript. Designed specifically for chat-based play and async multiplayer.

Challenges we ran into

Balancing simplicity with replayability and ensuring smooth async score comparison across sessions.

Accomplishments we’re proud of

Creating a game that feels native to Snapchat culture, is instantly understandable, and encourages daily engagement and sharing.

What we learned

Games on Snapchat win when they’re fast, social, and designed around friend interaction—not long sessions.

What’s next

More mini-games, Bitmoji reactions, and seasonal streak events.
