AI party game born from a drunk night with friends

Hi! I'm Eli, founder of TapTrap, LLC. We built an AI-powered truth or dare game that adapts to your group's vibe in real-time.

Check it out at www.taptrap.app

The idea came at a house party. We were using ChatGPT to generate dares while another app picked who was next. It was clunky, the dares were either too tame or insane, and switching between apps killed the vibe. Plus, those roulette games felt boring as everyone was away waiting for the roulette to pick someone, while touching the screen feels closer and engaging. That night I thought: what if one app could do all this but actually understand party dynamics?

TapTrap uses a fine-tuned AI model to create thousands of pre-generated dares for different moods (Casual, Mild, Spicy, No Limits, Couple, Family). The content updates daily based on what users skip or complete across the platform. This way the game evolves and stays fresh instead of being the same static deck forever.

The app includes a penalty system for refused dares, support for multiple languages, and thousands of pre-generated challenges. Everyone stays engaged because you're all touching the screen together to see who's next.

It's free to try with basic categories. Premium is $2.99/month and unlocks all categories, the ability to create your own custom dares or questions, and advanced penalties. We have 39,000+ downloads in the last 90 days.

Would love your feedback on the concept and any ideas for making parties more fun!

Serious question. How concerned are you that the machine could "dare" someone to do something that's actually unsafe or dangerous. (Couldn't you incur liability for being the ones who sold the service that issued the dangerous request?)

As for how I feel about it: I was going to suggest you name it "Do whatever the machine tells you to do." But that's mostly because I think part of the fun of truth or dare was that it was mischievous humans dreaming up the dares that they'd like to see performed. My backseat suggestion: now that you've got a critical mass of users, maybe try "crowdsourcing" those dares like on Reddit -- with upvotes/downvotes and comments. That might get you genuine human-crafted dares, without anybody having to obey a machine.

eliezerpujols•6mo ago
You have a valid point. Although dares or questions are AI-generated, they are also constantly monitored. As you said, we want people to have a good time, not to get hurt, and also so they can make sense (they sometimes don't) :)

Crowdsourcing on Reddit sounds great. I like the idea, thank you so much.
