👹Create Your First Dare
This page walks you through posting your first dare on Dare Market
Every viral moment starts with one thing — a dare. If you are looking for help on submitting content to an existing dare, navigate to Join a Dare
Step 1: Open the “Create Dare” Page
Click CREATE DARE in the top right corner.
Step 2: Write Your Title
Your title is the hook — one line that makes people stop scrolling and say “I could do that.” Keep it short, visual, and challenge-oriented.
Examples:
“Do 10 push-ups in public with strangers cheering you on.”
“Record yourself ordering the weirdest drink on the Starbucks menu.”
Think of your title like a movie tagline. It should instantly paint a picture.
Step 3: Add a Description
This is where you explain the rules — what counts, what doesn’t, and what proof is required.
You can format text (bold, italic, underline) and use up to 1,000 characters.
Step 4: Choose a Visual
Upload a photo or GIF that represents your dare — or click MAKE ONE FOR ME to auto-generate a cover. Bold, cinematic images perform best. Faces and motion > static graphics.
Step 5: Pick a Submission Format
This is where you decide what type of submissions you are looking for. Choose how people will submit their proof:
Text – for written dares, debates, or creative ideas.
Image – for photo-based proof.
Video – for action and motion (most viral).
If you’re unsure, choose Video. Proof beats polish.
Step 6: Decide Who Picks the Winner
Community Voting – the crowd upvotes submissions; top-rated entries win.
I’ll Select a Winner – you act as the judge and pick your favorite(s).
Voting = The most viral spectacle
Creator-judged = taste
Step 7: Optional Settings
Multiple Winners
By default, every dare has one winner who takes the full bounty. If you enable “I Want to Have Multiple Winners,” the bounty is split instead:
Community Vote Dares: the top 20 % of submissions (by upvotes) share the bounty.
Creator-Judged Dares: the dare initiator can choose up to 10 winners to split the bounty.
If you leave this off, it’s winner-takes-all.
PVP Mode
Toggle “I Want to Dare a Specific User.” This puts the dare into PVP mode — a direct call-out between you and another user. Great for rivalries, rematches, or creator-vs-creator stunts.
Step 8: Set the Bounty
This is the prize money. You can set it in USDC or Solana — the higher the bounty, the stronger the magnet.
Rule of thumb: match the effort you’re asking for. High-stakes dares move fast. Low-stakes dares go wide.
If you are not providing the bounty, and looking to crowdfund a dare that you want to do yourself, navigate to 1-800-FUND-MY-DARE
Step 9: Choose a Deadline
Select a Last Submission Date. The timer fuels participation — 3–7 days is ideal for momentum.
(Note: maximum submission period is 3 weeks)
Step 10: Create Dare
Once everything looks good, click CREATE DARE at the bottom. Your dare goes live immediately — it’s visible on the Explore feed, ready for submissions.
Now the internet decides what happens next.
🧯 Safety & Moderation
Dare Market runs on chaos, creativity, and proof - Not harm. Every dare must follow our core rules: no danger, no hate, no illegal activity.
If a submission crosses the line, it won’t go live. Repeat offenders get benched.
Push limits. Not people. The best dares make the internet laugh, not the news.
Example Dares
Community:
“High-five 10 strangers in 60 seconds — one continuous video.”
PVP:
“I dare @username to freestyle rap using only movie quotes.”
Once your first dare is live, try joining one yourself — or start watching submissions roll in. See how others interpret your challenge, upvote your favorites, and learn what makes a winning proof.
