3 Viral Mechanics (Embedded in Core Loop)

1. The Loss Share Card

When AKIN is wrong and the user tells it the answer, AKIN says:

> "I've never met [NAME] before. You've expanded my mind."

Share card: I stumped AKIN. It couldn't guess [NAME].

CTA: Can YOU stump it? → akin.silentinfinity.com

Loss cards outperform win cards 3:1 because they reveal the person's inner world. "I stumped AKIN with Naval Ravikant" says something about you. People share it because they're proud and because it's self-revealing in a safe way.

2. The Challenge Link

After any round (win or loss), the user can generate:

> "I bet AKIN can't guess who I'm thinking of right now. Tap to watch it try."

This is a deep link that loads the app in "challenge mode" with the challenger's history visible. The receiver wants to beat the AI to prove they're harder to guess than the challenger's secret person.

3. The Daily Mystery Person

Every day at midnight, a new global mystery person is set. The app's home screen shows:

> "Today's mystery: solved by 2,341 people. Average: 14 questions. Your best?"

Users share their solve count. The leaderboard resets daily, creating fresh FOMO every 24 hours. The mystery person is always someone interesting enough to be conversation-worthy when revealed.
