The daily photo game: one object, everyone, one day.
Every day Rawly draws one everyday object, the same for everyone. Find it, shoot it live in the app, and vote on how everyone else saw the same thing. The community votes, and the next day shows the top three. If you like a daily puzzle with your coffee, this is the same habit with a camera.
How a day works
It opens.
At a different time every day, everyone gets the same object at the same moment, and a notification tells you when. Nobody knows tomorrow's: the objects come in random order, and each one comes up once before any repeats.
You find it and shoot it.
A spoon, something round, a red door. You shoot it live with the camera inside the app: no gallery uploads, no filters, one entry each. There is no countdown; finding the object takes time, and later is not late.
People vote.
Entries go to the vote deck, where people swipe through them. Only votes from other people count, never your own.
The podium.
When the next day's object opens, the day is settled and its three most-voted shots take the podium. When at least three people took part, those places earn 30, 20 and 10 Score.
Why it works as a game
Same object, same day.
Everyone starts from the same prompt, so the photos are easy to compare and fun to vote on.
Small enough for any day.
Every object is something you can find at home, at work or on the way. No trip, no gear.
A streak to keep.
Shooting every day keeps your streak going, and an evening reminder can tell you before it ends.
Fair from day one.
No followers needed and nothing to buy. A first-day account plays the same game as a year-old one.
The rules in short
- One object a day, the same for everyone, drawn at random.
- Photos only, shot live in the app. One entry per person.
- Entries can be shot until the next day's object opens.
- Votes from other people decide. Your own vote on your own photo does not count.
- Top three of the day earn 30, 20 and 10 Score when at least three people took part. A place needs votes from at least two other people.
- No money changes hands in the daily game. Some separate challenges carry a prize pool.
Want to play it without the app?
The full list of objects is on the 365 photo challenge, and the December photo challenge has a prompt for every day of the month. Past days, with how many photos each object drew, are on the object pages.
Questions
What is the daily photo game?
It is Rawly's Daily Event. Every day everyone gets the same everyday object at the same moment, shoots it live in the app, and the community votes. When the next day's object opens, the three most-voted photos take the podium.
When does the daily object open?
At a different time every day, the same moment for everyone. The app sends a notification when it opens, and you can shoot it until the next day's object opens.
Can I upload a photo I already took?
No. Every entry is shot with the camera inside the app. There are no gallery uploads and no filters, so everyone plays on the same terms.
What do you win?
Score. When at least three people took part, the three most-voted photos of the day earn 30, 20 and 10 Score. The daily game has no cash prize; some separate challenges carry a prize pool.
Is the daily photo game free?
Yes. Rawly is free on iOS and Android, and playing and voting cost nothing.
