Snapchat Games Track

Turn-based games on Snapchat let friends take turns making moves and send the evolving game back and forth via Snaps — making them perfect for strategy, creative or cooperative building, or mini-arcade experiences. Your challenge is to design a game that is snackable, replayable, and native to Snapchat’s playful social style. Think about how you can make players excited to send “one more round” to their friends.

What to Build

Build a turn-based multiplayer Lens game in Lens Studio that for example showcases one of the following:

• A fun and creative way of showing turn ownership, beyond just text prompts (e.g., Bitmoji, AR props, scene animations). Consider adding turn history or replay elements that let users see what their friend did last turn, making it feel like a real back-and-forth conversation.
• A design that feels snackable and replayable, encouraging friends to keep sending Snaps back and forth.
• Gameplay that fits Snap-native genres (e.g., wordplay, trivia, puzzles, mini sports, creative building).
• Visual and social polish, making use of Snapchat features like Bitmoji to enhance engagement.
