A small game called Colorhunt to play with my friends https://colorhunt.lol

You get assigned a random colour and have 24 hours to go out and take photos matching it. The game then generates a photo grid from everything you captured.

Modes:

- Solo → 9 photos by yourself - 1v1 → compete against a friend, combined grid at the end - Squad → everyone contributes to a 20-photo grid

No accounts, no app install, no personal data stored. Photos and generated grids auto-delete after 24 hours from Cloudflare R2 storage.

Made it for fun to find a way to do a shared a activity with my girlfriend and also to challenge my friends over the weekends.

Currently redesigning the frontend flow but I am kinda poor at design

Would genuinely appreciate feedback, ideas or anything



That sounds really fun. Where did you get the idea?


Saw a post on Twitter of someone doing it with their spouse and I though lt about creating a web app to help me with colour generation and also grid generation.

The first version was the 1v1 mode and I tried it with a few friends. Later added the squad mode.

A few weeks ago, there was a viral tweet of a colorhunt and in the comments there were several people who said that they would love to participate but they cant because they travel alone, that gave me an idea to create the solo mode. Funny enough it's now the most popular mode in the game.

I do this for fun and also to help me develop my Product Manager skills(would one day love to shift from engineering to product however yet to get an opportunity at my current company). Main reason is just a way to keep InTouch with my friends and just explore colours with them.

Glad you like it.
