Challenge Intro — The Multiplayer Gate

First screen when someone taps a challenge link. Every multiplayer conversion flows through here. Real user feedback: confused, bouncing, replaying same colors.

Current — what exists today
Mobile — current live
Multiplayer
We'll show everyone the same 5 colors and you'll compete to see who guesses closer.

Name friction

No CTA label
Issues: "Multiplayer" is a label, not a dare. Name input before hook. No mention of who challenged or what to beat. Arrow says nothing.

Why: Score IS the hero — creates immediate competitive instinct. Big number triggers "I can beat that." CTA is "Accept challenge" — feels like a response to a dare.

What's shared across all three

No name input on entry. Name is asked after the game finishes, or auto-generated. Removes the biggest friction point.

Score to beat is visible. The competitive hook lands immediately. "42.3/50" triggers "I can beat that."

One clear CTA. "Play" or "Accept challenge" — no ambiguous arrow icon.

Brand micro-copy. "No signup needed" / "Free · Instant · No account" / "Just play." — reinforces the philosophy.

Replay detection (separate fix): When re-visiting a played link → fork to "See results" / "New round" instead of same colors again.
