Clap FAQs

General

Q: What is Clap?

A: Imagine a game show host in your pocket—minus the flashy suit and fake laughs. Our platform lets you create or jump into quick, fun, AI-judged challenges anytime! We're currently in beta mode, which means we're smoothing out the wrinkles, but we'd love your help (and humor) in making it awesome.

Q: Why was Clap created? What's the point?

A: Great question, philosopher! In our increasingly automated world, we think it's essential to reconnect with what truly makes us human—creativity, laughter, and a healthy dose of playful competition. Clap isn't just about winning—it's about unlocking creativity, building connections, and reminding ourselves that life is too short for endless scrolling (seriously, stop doomscrolling!).

Q: How do I play?

A: Easier than ordering takeout! Just pick a challenge, tap "Play Now," verify your account quickly (no spam, pinky promise!), and follow the fun instructions. Every challenge has a unique spin, but they're all short, sweet, and entertaining.

Q: Why do I need to enter my phone number?

A: We ask for your phone number just to verify you're a real person—not a robot plotting world domination. It keeps things fair, secure, and cheat-free. And don't worry, we don't sell your number. No midnight "you up?" texts from us, unless you opt in (and hey, why wouldn't you?).

Q: Do I need to enable camera and microphone access?

A: Yep! Allowing camera and mic access means you can fully dive into challenges like "Name as many Disney movies as possible in 30 seconds." Go ahead and shine!

Q: How does the scoring work?

A: Our AI judge—smart, sometimes sassy, and always impartial—scores your submissions based on accuracy, speed, and a sprinkle of creativity. You'll get instant scores and feedback to help you chase those leaderboard dreams.

Q: What kinds of challenges are there?

A: We've got a tasty buffet of challenges—trivia, "Categories," Price is Right-style guessing games, and tons more. We're regularly cooking up fresh ones, so check back often!

Q: I found a bug! What do I do?

A: Oops! 🙈 Thanks a million for the detective work. Shoot us an email at hey@clap.gg detailing what went wrong, what you were up to, and your device type. Screenshots earn you extra brownie points—and possibly a little reward!

Q: Can I suggest a challenge or an idea?

A: Please do! We love brilliant minds like yours. Send your wild (or mild) ideas to hey@clap.gg. If your idea makes it to the big leagues, expect some shout-out love!

Q: Is my data safe?

A: Absolutely. We only collect what's needed to make the magic happen—nothing more. Your data isn't up for grabs. Curious? Check out our full Privacy Policy for peace of mind.

Challenge-Specific (Categories & Multiple Choice)

Q: What's a "Categories" challenge?

A: It's like word-association on a caffeine rush! You'll be given a category (think "Dog Breeds" or "Ice Cream Flavors") and you have to quickly name as many things as you can in the set time. Our AI is counting, so speak clearly—and breathe occasionally!

Q: How does voice input work in "Categories" challenges?

A: Just talk loud and proud! Our AI has a keen ear for different accents and voices, but it's still learning. A quiet spot helps the magic happen smoothly.

Q: What if the AI doesn't understand what I'm saying?

A: Keep an eye on the live transcription as you speak. You'll instantly see what the AI captures—giving you quick clarity on your answers. (Pro tip: Avoid munching potato chips while playing.)

Q: Can I change my answer in a Multiple Choice challenge?

A: Sorry, friend—no take-backs! Once you've tapped your choice, it's locked in. Choose wisely!

Looking to the Future

Q: Will there be more features in the future?

A: You bet! Our secret lab (okay, just a cozy workspace) is already developing new challenge types, fresh ways to challenge friends, and even more hilarious AI antics. Stick around—you ain't seen nothing yet!
