How RoastRecap Works: The Ultimate Friend Ranking Game

Published on: 7/18/2025

Welcome to RoastRecap, the app that turns your friend group’s chaotic energy into a competitive sport. If you’re tired of the drama in your group chat going unrewarded, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s a breakdown of how to play and win.

The Goal: The Weekly #1 Spot

The objective is simple: end the week with the highest Power Score to be crowned the winner. Your score is a dynamic mix of what happens to you (Events) and what your friends think of you (Peer Rankings). It’s a delicate balance of living an interesting life and not annoying everyone around you.

Step 1: Log Your Wins & Losses

Life is a series of wins and losses, and now you can get points for them. In the "Log Event" tab:

  • Select a friend: Choose who the event happened to. Yes, you can log events for yourself or snitch on your friends.
  • Describe what happened: Be specific! "Got ghosted after a great first date" or "Aced my organic chemistry final."
  • Let the AI Judge: Our AI analyzes the event, classifies it as a "Win" or a "Loss," and assigns it a severity score. A minor win might be +5 points, while a catastrophic loss could be -50 points.

The AI’s judgment is final (and often hilarious). Its reasoning becomes part of the public activity feed for everyone to see.

Step 2: Rank Your Friends

This is where the real politics begin. In the "Rank Friends" tab, you create your personal power ranking for the week. Drag and drop your friends into the order you think they deserve.

  • Being ranked #1 by a friend gives you a massive score boost.
  • Being ranked last will negatively impact your score.
  • Your ranking of others affects their scores, but not your own. Wield your power wisely.

Step 3: The AI Roast Recap

At the end of each week, our AI generates a "RoastRecap." It’s a summary of the week's most notable events, the final leaderboard, and a brutal (or witty) roast of the winners and losers. It’s the perfect way to cap off a week of questionable decisions and fierce competition.

Now you know the rules. Go make some memories (or mistakes) worth logging. Good luck, you’ll need it.
