Everyone.
Same second.

A few times a week, the whole country gets two minutes to show what it's really doing.

Back camera: a basketball hoop at sunset. Selfie inset: a peace sign.
Back camera: an empty school hallway lined with blue lockers. Selfie inset: hands over a face.
Back camera: a yellow school bus through a window. Selfie inset: a golden retriever.

One second. Every phone.

At a random minute, a few days a week, the shutter opens for the whole country at once. Nobody knows when. Not even us.

Both cameras. No second take on the moment.

Back camera for where you are, front camera for your face, one tap. Then it prints with grain and an orange date stamp, like the disposable in your mom's junk drawer.

No filters. No camera roll. Retakes are allowed, and your friends see how many you took.

Back camera: homework under a desk lamp late at night
Front camera: a face hidden under a cap

Answer every shutter and the number grows.

Late counts, so you never have to post in class or wake up at 3 AM. Miss one and it goes back to zero. You can't buy it back. Nobody can.

Your school against every other one.

Once ten people from a school are in, it's on the weekly board. The score is the share of shutters your school answered. It shows the school's name and a percentage, never a student.

Week 1, how it plays out

  1. 1The school across town51%
  2. 2Your school42%
  3. 3Your rival38%
  4. 4That private school33%

Be there for the first one.

Early access goes school by school. The first fifty schools to reach ten people keep a Founding School badge for good.
