DRAWN

While you wait: Today, doors, games and the Flame

The get-together is 14 days away and, every morning at 9, a door opens: today it's "Rhyming hint". The Cousins' Flame is at 6 days. Marina has built her wishlist and, from the Today tab, sends an anonymous nudge to whoever hasn't yet.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Open today's door

    On the "Today" tab, tap "Open" on the "Open today's mission" card. The day's box says "Tap the box to open".

  2. 2

    Do the mission

    It can be "Confession", "Detective Mode" or "Rhyming hint". If "Doesn't fit? Swap this mission" shows up, tap it and the app swaps in another one.

  3. 3

    Nudge the group

    Anyone who has built their wishlist sees the "Nudge the group" button, which sends an anonymous notification to whoever hasn't, once a day.

  4. 4

    Peek at the Chest and the Mystery

    The "Surprise Chest" keeps what the person who drew you sent, without saying who. The "Mystery" releases a new clue every 3 group actions.

  5. 5

    Play with the group

    Under "Fun" you find the themes ("Suggest Themes"), the "Group Quiz" and the "Photo Wall". The "Gift Ranking" only opens after the reveal.

One door a day until the get-together.

None of the games are required. The Flame belongs to the group: it lights up when anyone in the group does something that day, there's one grace day, and it never says who skipped.

Questions about this chapter

What is today's door?

It's the mission of the day, inside the "30 Magic Days" journey. The app creates the doors at the draw: from 3 to 30, each one opening at 9 a.m. Brasília time. Tomorrow's doesn't open early, and the journey only exists in the app: it doesn't show up in the browser. Open the group and tap "Open today's mission".

What is the Today tab for?

It's the day's overview of your groups after the draw. It shows each group's journey day and today's mission, with the "Open" button. There's also the Circle, which counts how many have a wishlist without saying who, and the countdown to the get-together (or the reveal time, if set). Tap "Today" in the bottom bar.

I don't want to play. Do I have to?

No. The doors, the Chest, the Mystery and the games are on in a new group, but skipping a day has no penalty: the Flame and the Circle never say who played and who skipped. The Secret Santa carries on, with wishlist, chat and envelope. If you prefer, open the group just for your list and the list of who you got.

What is the group's Flame?

It's the group's streak of active days: one person acting that day is enough to light it. Before the draw there's the pre-draw Flame, only in groups with 3 or more accounts; at the draw the streak goes back to zero and the record stays. To keep it lit, do today's mission; if you can't, anyone in the group will do.

Do the Mystery or Detective Mode tell me who drew me?

No. The "Mystery" drops ambiguous clues about who drew you. "Detective Mode" is the guessing door: you record who you think drew you, and "Your guess stays secret until the reveal." To make your guess, wait for the "Detective Mode" door to show up in the journey.

How do I go up a rank?

By completing seasons: each group of yours that reaches the reveal counts as one. The ladder is Olheiro (0 seasons), Decifrador (1), Estrategista (3) and Lenda (6), shown in Portuguese even in English. "Mission Points" are a separate count: every 100 points you go up a level. See "Home" › "How it works".

I extended the get-together date. What about the journey?

The journey grows along with it: the app creates new doors up to the new date, one a day. After the draw, the get-together date can only be extended, never shortened, and the draw date is locked. Only the organizer can do it: open "More options" › "Edit" and change "Event Date", the form's name for the get-together.
