About Buddzy. Friends, not followers
Friends, not followers. Buddzy is the private social game where your closest friends play, challenge, and celebrate each other. No strangers. No feed. No DMs. Just your people. Think game night with your best friends — except it never ends. DARE YOUR FRIENDS Create photo, video, or text challenges. Everyone submits before the deadline — but nobody sees anything until time's up. Then all answers drop at once. Vote for the best. Crown a winner. This is where inside jokes are born. WHO REALLY KNOWS YOU? Create Lore Quizzes about yourself. Your friends try to answer. The highest score wins — and earns the "Real One" title. It's a friendship test disguised as a game. STARS DON'T LIE Stars are earned, never bought. You accumulate them through daily play — and give them to specific friends. Every Star is a deliberate choice. Every Star given moves a friend closer in your Galaxy. Your rankings reflect real choices, not money. YOUR GALAXY IS YOUR WORLD Forget the feed. Your home screen is a living solar system where friends orbit around you. The closer a friend, the more you've invested in each other. Customize it with backgrounds, music, and effects as you level up. FRIENDS LIFT FRIENDS UP Compete on private leaderboards with your actual friends. Three ranking modes: All-Time, Championship, and Popularity. No bots. No strangers. Just your squad. EVERY DAY COUNTS Build Fidelity Streaks — both of you have to show up daily. Hit 7, 30, 100, 365 days. Break it and you'll both feel it. Repair with Orbs if you slip. GHOST → GOAT Six Aura phases. 100 levels. Unlock Galaxy themes, cosmetics, and effects that show how invested you are. Progress is permanent — your Aura never drops. YOUR DAILY COMMAND CENTER The Hub surfaces everything that matters: daily chest, active missions, streaks at risk, pending challenges. All in one tap. Plus AI comic avatars (Comicsify), Bud Bombs (full-screen surprises), Mood Emojis, and achievements to collect. NO CREEPS. PERIOD. Built private from day one — not patched after a scandal. — Only people in your contacts can find you — No DMs — no channel for creeps or bullies — No public profiles. No discovery feed — Your data is never sold — Delete your account and everything disappears. For real Free. No ads. No algorithms. No randos. Your crew's waiting.
