Lock-In, then the Chap Relay
Round II
Chap Relay
8 links, two for each seat, taken in turn. Each link starts from the last right answer, and you tap your answer on your phone. A wrong answer or running out of time breaks the chain; finish it together for a bonus.

Showtime
Play on camera, get paid if we use it
Showtime is a room for 1 to 4 friends, every one signed in and 18 or over. Each phone records its player’s own front camera: a brag of up to 30 seconds before the game, the whole game, and a reaction after it. You talk to each other on the room’s voice call, and earphones are a must; the game checks them first. Two or three of you play on your own, or the host can let the Chap Crew fill the empty seats.
After the game the clips upload to us, and we turn the best tables into Chap videos. If we use your table’s video, everyone who played it is paid ₦500, ₦750, ₦1,000 or ₦1,500 each, for a table of one to 4, arranged on WhatsApp. Nothing is streamed, and clips we do not use are deleted after 90 days.
