BuddyUniversity.com today unveiled a social interaction game
application built on the Facebook Platform, a platform that enables companies
and developers to build applications that are deeply integrated into the
Facebook website. The BuddyUniversity.com game application called Buddy Truth
or Dare lets Facebook users worldwide connect with their friends and ask the
question “Truth or Dare?”
The “Buddy Truth
or Dare” application revolves around a simulation of the game “Truth or Dare”.
Users initiate a game of Truth or Dare by sending a notification request to a
friend that simply says “Truth or Dare?” The friend selects either Truth or
Dare and then a notification is sent back of what the friend selected, either
Truth or Dare. If the friend selected Truth, you then send the friend a
question, to which they must tell the truth!
If the friend
selects Dare, you then send the friend a dare that they must do and send evidence back to you proving
that they did it. They have the option to upload a picture or a video that
proves they completed the dare. Players can view the other archived and ongoing
games to see what others have asked or been dared to do. Members of the college
social community BuddyUniversity.com earn points by asking, completing dares or
answering truths. These points can be used in the e-commerce area Buddy Mall
for items such as Xboxes™, iPhones™, BuddyUniversity gear and Spring Break
trips.
“The Facebook Platform represents an ambitious opportunity
in how business can be conducted on the internet. We’re thrilled that BuddyUniversity.com
can provide this application and incorporate the Facebook Platform as a
critical part of our strategy,” said Terry Ballantini, CEO of BuddyUniversity.com.
“I caution though. All dares should be something unpleasant or embarrassing,
but not something that will cause serious issues, be illegal or go against the
ethics of the person performing the dare.”
