A named track per rendered faceless reel (reel-1…15), matched to its hook. The reels are silent on purpose — add the sound in-app so it isn't copyright-muted. This is also wired into the gallery (darenight-assets.pages.dev/kits/dare-night/reels/), shown under each video where you save it.
Two honest rules (Portal ethos — no fabrication):
Every slot now carries a primary + two named alternates (real tracks, not a vibe — Helvia's "name the actual track" rule). If the primary is greyed out day-of, reach for a named alt of the same energy before improvising.
Source of truth: the songs + captions live in
studio/assets/kits/dare-night/reels/reels.data.mjs. Edit there, then run
node studio/assets/kits/dare-night/reels/build.mjs— it regenerates the gallery page, the 15
.txtcaptions, and the table below. Don't hand-edit the table (it's between GEN markers).

Matching principle (Helvia): loud/funny (Classic, Chaos) → a hard drop or a chant; flirty (Crush, Spicy) → a smooth chorus or a sultry groove; warm (Confessions) → something bright or tender. Trust your ear over the list if a live trend fits better — the alts exist so you never post to a vibe you have to go hunt for.
Read this before over-investing here. Under Δ35 Dare Night is venue-first — the content that compounds is real venue-reaction footage (film the room: the laugh, the table, the phone passing, the QR on the TV). These 15 are rendered template reels — a cold-start batch to warm the @playdarenight account before real footage exists. Post them for cadence; don't mistake them for the engine. The moment you have a venue night, the "real-people reels" (Track ②, reel-storyboards.html) become the priority tier — those get native trending sound captured in-room, not just a table pick.
The 15 reel .txt captions now carry traveler/hostel hashtags (#hostellife #backpackers #solotravel #travelbuddies #travelcouples #girlswhotravel, keyed per reel) on top of the party-game core — to seed the travelers-20–30 beachhead and nudge region-seeding toward travelers (helps, rather than fights, the IDN-region issue). Instagram is home (Δ36): strong first frame + save-worthy caption; TikTok is the free mirror.
