The whole game, in two minutes.
To mug someone, scan their card with the Mug camera. They land in your Lineup.
1. Make your card
Pick a pose, snap one selfie, type your name. We paint a new portrait of you doing the pose, and write your tagline, three stats and what you're notorious for. Change any of it later. About a minute, free.
2. Mug your friends, in person
- Printed card. Scan the QR on the back of their card with the Mug camera (or your phone's camera). Every printed card has its own number and works once. Comes with a scratch-off. A new print of someone (their next crew box, a new series) is a new card to mug, with one scratch per person every 30 days.
- Phone to phone. No cards yet? They open “Mug me” and you scan their screen. It's made for face to face: the code changes every 20 seconds, expires in 30 seconds and works once. No scratch-off.
- Mutuals. When you've mugged each other, you both get 1 free card.
- Sample cards are practice: scan one to see how it feels. Nothing is kept.
3. The Scratch
Every printed card you mug comes with a scratch-off. The odds, plainly:
- Glow-Up A new finish for your card. 1 in 2.
- On the House 1–3 free cards on your next pack. 1 in 5.
- Next Round Nothing this time. 3 in 10.
Your first scratch is always a Glow-Up, and so is every foil chase card you mug. A Glow-Up is always a finish you don't have yet, and an Exclusive or better is guaranteed within 8 Glow-Ups. Free cards ride along with your next pack, up to 10 per pack. Scratches can't be bought.
4. Pins: from Plus-One to Icon
Your pin counts your people: everyone you've mugged and everyone who's mugged you. It sits on your card in the app, gets a new material at every step. Crew, VIP and Legend each come with a finish the first time you reach them. Printed cards carry the Mugmark instead, so paper never goes stale.

5. Crews
A crew is a party or a friend group on one wall. The host shares one link; everyone makes a card and joins. The wall shows how many mugs the room has made against a party goal, and saves a crew picture for the morning after. The host can print everyone in one box: 10 cards of each person, $14.99 a head with shipping included, 5 people or more.
Start a crew6. Printing
12 pt stock, rounded corners, tuck box, and one card in five is a holo foil chase copy (mugging one is a guaranteed Glow-Up). $39.99 for 36, $54.99 for 54, plus $4.99 tracked US shipping (crew boxes ship free). About a week to print (longer in the holiday rush) and 5 business days to ship; checkout shows your arrival date before you pay. Every card is numbered with its own QR, and the version you order is frozen onto it. See Shipping & returns.
Payments aren't live yet: checkout is a demo that charges nothing, so nothing ships yet.
Questions
What does “mug” mean?
To mug someone is to scan their card with the Mug camera, in person: their printed card, or the “Mug me” code on their phone. They land in your Lineup. (It's a mugshot joke. Nobody gets robbed.)
Is it free?
Making your card, mugging people in person, pins and finishes are free. You only pay for printed cards: $39.99 for 36, $54.99 for 54 (plus $4.99 shipping), or $14.99 a person for a crew box with shipping included.
What if my portrait looks wrong?
Reshoot it from Edit, as many times as you like, before you print. Printed cards are frozen as they were when you ordered, so print the one you love.
Who can see my card?
Only people with your link or your printed card. It isn't on Most Wanted or in search engines unless you turn that on in Edit. You can delete it any time.
Where does my selfie go?
An AI checks it's a real person (Cloudflare), another paints your portrait (OpenAI), and then the selfie is deleted. Only the painting is kept. Privacy has the details.
I got a new phone. Where did my card go?
Your card lives on the phone you made it on. Save your backup link (Me → Back up your card): open it on any phone or browser and your card comes with it.
Someone made a card of me.
Open it and tap “Report this card”, or write to hello@killburgercorp.com. Cards have to be of the person who made them.
How old do I have to be?
18 or older.
