Snapchat + DareDear = A New Creative Playground

Let’s explore how DareDear can become a native Snapchat feature : lightweight, viral, and full of Snap energy.

We’ve added a discreet yet powerful Dare icon alongside the existing call and video buttons in the top-right corner of the Snapchat chat screen. This makes sending a dare feel just as natural as starting a call or video: seamless, social, and one tap away.

Why it works:

• Familiar placement means zero learning curve for users.

• Integrated UX keeps the Snapchat feel intact.

• Encourages spontaneous dares in real conversations, where the best ones are born.

Built for Snap’s Culture | Boosts Engagement | Creator-Friendly | Revenue-Ready | Trendy
