Why it makes a great challenge
Everyone thinks they can count to 20. Almost nobody can. The "you held 26.41 s" reveal is pure comedy.
Here is how it works: you create a link and start a timer. Your friend has to click it in time — and only then discovers they have to beat Hold the Button too. You watch every move live and can even send emoji heckles while they play.
