REAL life is interesting

REAL life is interesting

2x the creators = 2x as interesting

Create posts together with friends, or by yourself.

It’s stress free: when you make posts together, photos stay private unless you BOTH unlock them for others to see.

From awesome moments to “WTF?” encounters, you capture your life in photos – but most never get shared!

Photo Dare helps you rediscover, relive, and share them.

Fresh stories you won’t get anywhere else.

PhotoDare is for all the life moments that just don’t belong on other platforms.

Players tell us time and time again they find the Discover feed more interesting than [big-tech competitor], because it’s so random, ‘unfiltered’, and ‘real’.

“I could just keep scrolling forever…”

  • “I really like that it's not like Instagram where it's not filtered, and also you don't have time to filter your photo or make it look nice, you send what you send, because I think there's just a lot more opportunities to just have funny photos or like random things you never thought anyone would see or you just took it for your own memory and then you haven't looked at it in like 5 years and it pops up and you're like oh i forgot about that, that's hilarious”

    — Julia S

  • “a lot of people are moving away from that IG ‘my life has to be perfect' kind of thing that we're all used to, and so i think that that's something that will draw people in, where you can be authentic, and real and raw, and that aspect of not knowing what I'm sending is exciting and you're nervous and I can see it being something people really enjoy and get excited about”

    — Hallie T

  • “I find it interesting to scroll through these images because even though I don't know these people, they feel more real than Insta...it's like taking an unfiltered look in spaces where I would normally not be right now,

    for example I saw this one picture where there's a big block of Haloumi cheese that I can't get in Germany, and that's interesting, because that's something that would not land on Insta, or on Twitter because it's like not interesting, but here it could be interesting for other folk”

    — Alexander P

  • “the anti curation is really nice and you can just enjoy your content in a way you're not over thinking it, yeah because those two pictures I would've just scrolled in my camera roll and not think twice about...to see them in that way and to think that oh yeah this is kind of a nonsense picture on my own phone that I would like to share with other people, it gives it another purpose ”

PhotoDare is a
social photo sharing game with ❤️.

Welcome to a safe space where you can be yourself.

Social media shows us curated, polished and filtered images – everyone looks amazing.

This is because people tend to only publish posts that make them look good, but it’s hard when everyone else’s life seems better than yours.

This imbalance is leading to mental health and self-image issues:

  1. For Teen Girls, Instagram Is a Cesspool (NY Times).

  2. “32 percent of teen girls have told Facebook that when they felt bad about their bodies, Instagram made them feel worse” (Washington Post).

  3. Lush deactivating IG, FB, TikTok & Snap: “retailer says ‘serious effects of social media’ on users’ mental health are ‘going largely ignored” (The Independent).

Meanwhile, people take hundreds of photos they never share. Maybe they’re not right for other platforms, or we forget to share them – but there’s a story behind every one!

These stories are entertaining, and they help you get to know the real life of that person better.

PhotoDare surfaces these stories: it’s made with mental and emotional well-being in mind, through emphasizing real life over fake social media life.

It’s designed for more intimate 1-on-1 exchanges that hack people’s impulse to show only their most polished selves.

And people are ❤️’ing it!

Rediscover life moments and tell the stories you wouldn’t have otherwise – no matter how small – and it stays private unless you want to share.

Play photo games by yourself or with others for hilarious ice-breakers and stories.

Share to just friends, your followers, or make a splash on the Discover page where everyone can enjoy them.

PhotoDare is on a mission to make photo sharing more sincere, because real life is more interesting.
