How it works

Four steps, about a minute a day.

  1. Home screen of Twenty: the theme of the day, the time left and a 12 day streak.

    The Drop

    Once a day, at a surprise time, everyone gets the same theme. You have one hour to play.

  2. Search screen of Twenty: a ring counting down while the app looks for your friends.

    The search

    Tap Duel. Twenty looks for a friend who is there, for about eight seconds.

  3. Duel screen of Twenty: a friend on live video, your own camera in a corner, and the timer ring at 12 seconds.

    The duel

    You face your friend, live. Each of you has 20 seconds to show something that fits.

  4. Vote screen of Twenty: one, two or three flames for your friend, with a few seconds to choose.

    The flames

    Rate the other show from one to three flames. Flames become points.

Small game, daily habit

  • A streak worth keeping

    Play every day and your streak grows. A freeze saves it the day you miss.

    Profile screen of Twenty: a 12 day streak, one freeze, the Gold league and badges.
  • A league every week

    Thirty players, one week. The top five move up on Monday.

    League screen of Twenty: the Gold league of the week with the promotion zone.
  • Friends first

    You duel your friends, then their friends if you allow it. Add them by username, invite link or QR code.

    Invite screen of Twenty: a card with your picture, your username and a QR code to scan.
  • Quick pays

    Start your duel in the first three minutes after the Drop for a bonus.

  • Every flame counts

    Points for playing, for the flames you receive and for your streak.

    Result screen of Twenty: three flames received and the points of the duel.
  • Nobody there? Leave a Take

    Record your 20 seconds. A friend answers before midnight, then you both watch and vote.

    Home screen of Twenty: a friend answered your Take, two others are waiting for yours.

No feed.One Drop a day. Nothing to scroll, nothing to catch up on.

Safe by design

Live video with people needs rules. These are built in, not added later.

How we keep duels safe

Safety Center of Twenty: how reports, recordings, reviews and appeals work.
  • Blocked means gone

    A person you block never meets you again.

  • No location

    The app never asks for it.

  • No messages

    Players meet in a duel, nowhere else. No chat, no public profile.

  • A report ends the duel

    At once, for both players. Duels between friends are never recorded.

Questions

What is Twenty?

Twenty is a mobile app for iPhone and Android where friends play a daily 20-second live video duel. Once a day everyone gets the same theme, and each player has 20 seconds to show something that fits.

How does a duel work?

Tap Duel after the daily notification. Twenty looks for a friend who is there, a 3-second countdown starts, then each of you has 20 seconds of live video. After it, you each rate the other from one to three flames.

When does the notification arrive?

Once a day, at a random time between 10 am and 9 pm that nobody knows in advance. You then have one hour to play the duel that counts for your league.

What if none of my friends is there?

You record your 20 seconds as a Take. A friend can answer it until midnight, then you both watch and vote.

Is Twenty free?

Yes. Duels, points, streaks and leagues are free. Twenty+ is an optional subscription with cosmetic extras and more casual duels. It never gives points.

Who can I play with?

Your friends, and friends of friends if you turn it on. You add friends by username, invite link, QR code or from your contacts.

How do points and leagues work?

The first duel you play after the Drop earns points: for playing, for the flames you receive, for starting in the first three minutes and for your streak. Each week you are in a league of up to 30 players. The top five move up, the bottom five move down.

Is Twenty safe?

Twenty has no direct messages, no location and no public profile. Any player can report from a duel, which ends it at once for both. Duels between friends are never recorded. Duels with people you do not know are recorded for safety and deleted after 72 hours unless reported.

How do I delete my account?

In the app, open Account, then Delete my account. Without the app, use the Delete my account page of this site.
