Games social features
Challenge from chat
- Play a board and get a score.
- Tap ⚡ or Hub → Challenge chat.
- Pick a contact — they receive a “Beat my …” card.
- They tap the card → Games opens on that board (async duel with a shared seed).
No live video SFU is required. Both of you play on-device.
Invite party
Hub → Invite sends a party-code card. Friends tap to sit on your board (host / player / spectator roles).
Quick match
Hub → Quick match finds a stranger for that game. When matched, you get a party code toast.
Friends weekly board
Hub lists people you message, ranked by score this week for the current game. Your runs update “You” on that board.
Friday Night Cup
City-scoped weekend cup (Hub → Enter cup). Uses your approximate city label. Prize copy is for the season — wallet payouts follow Trust rules.
Spectator gifts
Tap 💎 while someone plays (or Hub → Gift run). Combo toasts appear like live gifts, without streaming the whole match as video.
Creator boards
Create → Game board, or Hub → publish a ruleset (title, blurb, speed/lives tunables). Plays and a simple earnings counter are tracked so creators can get paid for retention later — same family of metrics as posts and lives.
Season pass
Completing runs, joining cups, and publishing rulesets grant XP toward cosmetic tiers (paddle skins, trails).
AR table (optional)
Hub → AR table puts the rear camera under the court on secure, capable devices. Turn it off the same way. Never required to play.
Safety
Report abuse from chat or profile tools as usual. Do not tip strangers who DM “support” about cup prizes — see Scams.
