Snappers gain points when their tags are guessed correctly, as does the player who guessed it.

The snapper may continue “snapping” until his 2 minutes run out

Representative Tasks Signing up

New users will want to “test-run” the game without investing too much time and energy into it.

Playing as a guesser

Unlike snappers, guessers need to guess the image taken by the snapper.

They can choose to skip images that are difficult to guess.

Playing as a snapper

Scour his/her immediate environment and capture an image of a keyword of his/her own choosing

Scenario I Max just introduced Sam to the newest mobile

game on the market, “SnapIt!”. Sam does not want to create a profile just yet because he thinks he might not like the game. Instead, Sam would prefer to play the game as a guest and then create an account finally if the game appeals to him.
