HOW IT WORKS

Four taps from a stare-down.

3 · 2 · 1

Both cameras go live. Eyes up. Deep breath. Here we go.

03
STARE

Hold your nerve. No blinking, no looking away. Talk all the trash you want.

04
BLINK = LOSE

Your own camera calls it the instant you crack. The ref can't be bought.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is Gawkin free to play?

Yes. Live 1v1 duels, solo warm-ups, 64-player tournaments and the cross-platform leaderboard are all free, right in your browser — no download or login required.

Do I need to download anything to play?

No. Gawkin runs in your web browser. There's also a free iPhone app if you'd rather play on mobile.

How does Gawkin know when I blink?

Your own camera is the referee. On-device face tracking watches your eyes and calls a blink the instant you crack — nothing to install, and no footage leaves your device for judging.

Can I play against friends or strangers?

Both. Drop into a live 1v1 with a random stranger, or share a tournament room code with friends — up to 64 players stare at once and the last eyes open win.
