How much time are Koreayour fingers on your phone on any given day? Probably hours, right?
Thanks to MSCHF and YouTuber Mr. Beast, you can now potentially get paid for this. In case you're unaware, MSCHF is the prankster group behind The Office slack and nostalgic iPhone icons, and Mr. Beast is...well, he has over 35 million subscribers on YouTube, which tells you all you need to know.
They've joined forces to create Finger On The App, a game whose sole objective is just that. When the game starts, players put their finger on their phone. The last player to take their finger off can win up to $25,000. The prize can fluctuate because of this twist: Everyone who doesn't win determines the amount of cash the winner receives. They can vote to give the winner as little as $0 if they want.
Finger On The App is a one-time game taking place on June 30 at 3:00 ET, according to the site's FAQ page. Players have to download the app in the Apple Store (there's no Android equivalent, sorry), open the app ahead of time and simply keep their finger on the app while the game is on.
SEE ALSO: Google Pixel adds bedtime features, safety tools to phonesWhile the game is only occurring once, a player can receive extra lives if they play the game between six and 10 feet of other players. If Bluetooth is enabled, both players will receive an extra life (with a limit of three extra lives). This enables players to take their phone off the app and put it back within 10 seconds without penalty.
"In this connected world a million beeps and chimes compete for our attention," said Finger On The App's manifesto, "a deluge of contacts and content. As our attention spans flee, Finger On The App demands utmost devotion to a total absence of distraction: a game where you can’t do anything."
