presenting a first AR puppet on a first foot to replace a depiction of the first foot in a video feed displayed in the client device with a depiction of the first AR puppet;

controlling the first AR puppet based on detecting movement of the first foot; and

controlling a second AR puppet based on detecting movement of a second foot.

7 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

detecting contact between the first foot and the second foot indicating tapping of the first foot and the second foot together; and

in response to detecting contact between the first foot and the second foot, presenting an AR effect.

8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing access to a second shared AR experience, the second shared AR experience being configured to perform operations comprising:

detecting presence of a whole body of a user of two or more users within a video feed captured by the client device;

receiving input that taps a screen of the client device at a position at which a portion of the whole body of the user is presented;

overlaying a first AR element on the video feed at the position in response to receiving input that taps the screen of the client device; and

ending the AR experience in response to determining that the whole body of the user has been overlaid by a plurality of AR elements.

9 . A system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory component having instructions stored thereon, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving input, via a client device, that selects a shared augmented reality (AR) experience from a plurality of shared AR experiences;

determining that two or more users are located within a threshold proximity of the client device;

activating the selected shared AR experience in response to determining that the two or more users are located within the threshold proximity of the client device; and

in response to activating the selected shared AR experience, displaying, by the client device, a user interface comprising a group timer and a task timer, the group timer representing a collective amount of time available for the two or more users to complete respectively assigned tasks, and the task timer representing an amount of time remaining for a given user of the two or more users to complete the respectively assigned task.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the selected shared AR experience comprises a shared device AR experience that is accessed one-at-a-time by each of two or more users on a same shared client device.

11 . The system of claim 9 , wherein:

the task timer indicates how much longer the given user has left to complete a task as well as a current score.

12 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the client device is a first client device, and the operations further comprise:

synchronizing the shared AR experience between the first client device and a second client device;

wherein a marker in a physical environment of the first and second client devices is also displayed on a third client device, the marker representing a value of a group timer; and

in response to both the second and the third client devices detecting the marker, initiating the selected shared AR experience concurrently on the first and second client devices.

13 . The system of claim 9 , the operations further comprising providing access to a second shared AR experience, the second shared AR experience being configured to perform operations comprising:

receiving a video feed from a camera of the client device;

detecting presence of real-world feet within the video feed captured by the camera; and

presenting a story on the client device in response to detecting presence of the real-world feet within the video feed.

14 . The system of claim 9 , the operations further comprising:

presenting a first AR puppet on a first foot to replace a depiction of the first foot in a video feed displayed in the client device with a depiction of the first AR puppet;

controlling the first AR puppet based on detecting movement of the first foot; and

controlling a second AR puppet based on detecting movement of a second foot.

15 . The system of claim 14 , the operations further comprising:

detecting contact between the first foot and the second foot indicating tapping of the first foot and the second foot together; and

in response to detecting contact between the first foot and the second foot, presenting an AR effect.

16 . The system of claim 9 , the operations further comprising providing access to a second shared AR experience, the second shared AR experience being configured to perform operations comprising:

detecting presence of a whole body of a user of two or more users within a video feed captured by the client device;

receiving input that taps a screen of the client device at a position at which a portion of the whole body of the user is presented;

overlaying a first AR element on the video feed at the position in response to receiving input that taps the screen of the client device; and

ending the AR experience in response to determining that the whole body of the user has been overlaid by a plurality of AR elements.

17 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon, instructions when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving input, via a client device, that selects a shared augmented reality (AR) experience from a plurality of shared AR experiences;

determining that two or more users are located within a threshold proximity of the client device;

activating the selected shared AR experience in response to determining that the two or more users are located within the threshold proximity of the client device; and

in response to activating the selected shared AR experience, displaying, by the client device, a user interface comprising a group timer and a task timer, the group timer representing a collective amount of time available for the two or more users to complete respectively assigned tasks, and the task timer representing an amount of time remaining for a given user of the two or more users to complete the respectively assigned task.

18 . The medium of claim 17 , wherein the selected shared AR experience comprises a shared device AR experience that is accessed one-at-a-time by each of two or more users on a same shared client device.

19 . The medium of claim 17 , wherein:

the task timer indicates how much longer the given user has left to complete a task as well as a current score.

20 . The medium of claim 17 , wherein the client device is a first client device, and the operations further comprise:

synchronizing the shared AR experience between the first client device and a second client device;

wherein a marker in a physical environment of the first and second client devices is also displayed on a third client device, the marker representing a value of a group timer; and

in response to both the second and the third client devices detecting the marker, initiating the selected shared AR experience concurrently on the first and second client devices.
