TikTok turns every swipe into a slot machine.
You open it for 5 minutes. 30 minutes pass.
That’s variable reward: unpredictable videos keep your brain chasing the next good one.
The danger isn’t just the algorithm.
It’s how effortless the loop feels.

Shinchan Quest is a fast-paced, interactive puzzle experience built for Snapchat that transforms a classic sliding-tile puzzle into an engaging AR mini-game.
Players rearrange shuffled image tiles to recreate iconic Shinchan artwork, creating a simple yet addictive gameplay loop designed for quick mobile sessions, replayability, and social sharing.
The experience was carefully designed to be:
🎯 Easy to learn
⚡ Fast to play
🔁 Highly replayable
📱 Optimized for Snapchat's mobile-first experience
Every interaction—from tile swapping to puzzle completion—was crafted to feel responsive, satisfying, and rewarding while encouraging users to challenge friends and replay for faster completion times.
🚀 Performance
Within just a few days of launch, the lens achieved:
👀 776,100+ Lens Views
🎮 626,100+ Lens Plays
🔄 11,787 Shares
These results demonstrate strong organic reach, high engagement, and excellent replayability without relying on paid promotion.
💡 Why I Built It
My goal was to explore how casual gaming can enhance AR experiences on Snapchat by combining familiar gameplay mechanics with recognizable visual content.
Rather than creating a traditional face filter, I wanted to build an interactive experience that keeps users engaged, encourages repeat plays, and inspires sharing among friends.
Shinchan Quest represents my passion for designing lightweight, entertaining, and highly engaging AR experiences that blend creativity, gaming, and social interaction into a seamless mobile experience.
✨ Built with: EasyLens by Snapchat
