Group chats run on hype. Every successful friend group has a person whose job is just to be the cheerleader — celebrating wins, calling out fits, hyping the gym posts, applauding every minor good decision. If that's you, you're a glazer. We made the app for you.
If that's not you and your group chat could use more of that energy — congrats, the platform handles the heavy lifting.
How friend groups actually use GlazeTrain
The hype rotation
Pick a friend per week. Whole group sends them Glazes that week. Next week, rotate. Everyone gets their hype week. The platform's Glaze Train mechanic rewards this directly — multiple people Glazing one person inside 24 hours = train completes = bonus score for everyone.
Battle nights
Pick a subject (one of you, or a public figure, or a group chat in-joke about who's "the worst dressed"). Two people Glaze Battle. Group votes. Hilarity ensues. Add a chaser drink rule if you want.
Birthday trains
The killer use case. Coordinate a Glaze Train on the birthday person's day. They wake up to a notification stream of compliments and a "🚂 Glaze Train completed" badge on their profile.
Post-breakup hype zones
One of you is going through it. The group quietly coordinates a sustained Glaze Train. They get a daily dose of reminders they're loved. This is unironically the best use of the platform.
Anonymous truth bombs
Anonymous Glazes let group members say things that would be weird signed — "actually I think you're the best partner of all of us, you don't even know" — without making it awkward. Read the anonymous guide →
The 3-people minimum
Glaze Trains require 3+ contributors to complete. So if your friend group is just two of you and a dog, you can't actually start a train solo. Solution: don't have a friend group of 2 with a dog. We can't help with that part.
(Real solution: add 2+ acquaintances. Pull in someone's roommate, someone's cousin, that one mutual you see at every party. Trains need just 3 — they don't need 30.)
Group chat integration
GlazeTrain doesn't replace the group chat. It plugs into it. The flow that works:
- Something hype happens in the chat — someone gets promoted, someone posts a fit pic, someone makes the joke of the year.
- Person A shouts "GLAZE TRAIN" in the chat.
- 3+ people open the app and send a Glaze to the subject.
- Train completes. Notification fires.
- Group chat erupts again.
The platform is the receipt. The group chat is still where the energy lives.
Friend-group etiquette
- Don't farm. If your group rotates Glazes purely for the score bonus, the platform's anti-farming detection will dampen the bonus. Glaze because the person actually deserves it.
- Mix it up. Don't just Glaze the same one person every time. Spread the love.
- Specifics > generics. "You're great" is a Hype 1. Your group hype hits harder when each person points at something different and specific.
- Anonymous sparingly. Within a tight group, anonymous Glazes are fun for occasional truth bombs but weird if used constantly — kind of defeats the point of being friends.
The "who's done the most" chart
If your group is competitive: each member's profile shows Glaze Score and tier. You can pull up a friend-leaderboard within the app's social tab. Tiers serve as a casual measure of who in this group is doing the most for the rest of us. We don't recommend posting screenshots of these in the group chat. But you will. We get it.
GlazeTrain has zero paid features. No "premium for group features," no "unlock more battles." Whole group can use everything for free. Why we built it this way →
