Press Release Summary: 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?"
Press Release Body: 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 XboxesT, iPhonesT, 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."
