Bout is an addicting photo game and was the first app from CollegeHumor.
There’s 2 sides to it: You submit photos to your friends’ challenges, and your friends submit photos to your challenges.
To start your challenge, you choose from 3 random ones — I wrote over a thousand of these.
Completed “Bouts” appear in the game feed.
